Note:The original patterns in this book are up to 80 years of age and therefore any lack of quality in their reproduction is due to the condition of the original pattern. The publishers cannot guarantee that these original patterns do not contain errors and can take no responsibility for this Example - Page 127 is smudged.

Building on the success of Volume 1, this breathtaking book takes us on a journey through knitting pattern history from 1930 to 1959. This substantial treasury contains 80 stunning, classic patterns for women, carefully chosen to offer the knitter the best of design from each period, alongside a thoughtfully balanced selection of projects; from beginner to advanced; cardigans to sweaters; dresses to hats; stocking stitch to cable and from fair isle to lace. With the patterns chronologically arranged the book also acts as a historical insight into this golden age of knitwear design. Both the original and a re-written, updated and multi-sized adaption of each pattern is included, with beautiful full colour images, authentically styled and photographed. Additional information explaining vintage fit and finishing techniques complete this inspiring publication. This truly amazing book is for all knitters, young and old, and of all abilities. It affords the opportunity not just to knit, but to knit a piece of the past and create an heirloom of the future.

Gorgeous Book

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 18 maggio 2012

I have to admit, I was hesitant to spend the money on this book since I hadn't had a chance to look at it and it is admittedly pricey. However, I'd heard good things about it and I was more than blown away when I received it. This hefty volume is perfect for knitters looking to create vintage reproduction knitwear. I own a few old knitting patterns/leaflets - and I'm a fairly decent knitter - but the work involved in translating a vintage pattern has been thus far more than I have the time and patience for.

The mountain of work that no doubt went into this book is amazing. There are 80 patterns and, while many of them are truly representative of their era, they are almost all timeless and perfect for modern wear. Images of the original patterns as well as the modern translations are included, along with lovely vintage-styled photos of the updated versions. Comparison of the photos and original images shows that very little changes were made so I imagine these patterns could be used with accuracy to create costumes for theater productions, etc. The book also includes UK as well as US such as measurements and needle sizes which is a very nice detail.

I often find myself buying knitting books and liking only a handful of the patterns; this is probably the only knitting book I have purchased where a vast majority of the patterns appeal to me. A wise investment, indeed! I would urge serious knitters to add this book to their library, along with A Stitch in Time: v. 1: Vintage Knitting & Crochet Patterns 1920-1949 .

A Knitting Reference Must

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 19 luglio 2013

Acquisto verificato

I was hesitant to buy this book. There was only a used copy left and there was one unfavourable review. As I had a gift voucher I decided just to go for it. I am SO glad I did! The book arrived in better condition than most new books from amazon!
I would say I'm an intermediate knitter and I have a pet peeve of knitting books that take half the book explaining how to knit. I understand that this can be useful for beginners, but I want PATTERNS from a book! A Stitch in Time did not disappoint! This book has one page of knitting summary,then explains vintage fit and techniques such as sewing on collars and different sleeve/shoulder fits which is exactly what you need to know. Vintage pattern techniques and terminology are also clarified, which was very useful.
I was immediately engrossed in this book. The patterns are gorgeous and all very useful. There was one review that complained of too many hat/glove patterns and that the models were 'too fat'. I can say that there are 3, possibly 4, models in this book and they range form a size 6/8 to around a 14. I found this refreshing as you are not always knitting for someone with a 24" waist, and you can see how the pattern looks on a larger size. As for too many hat/gloves, there was maybe three out of 21 patterns for each decade that were hat/glove!
I have been dressing in the 40s/50s style for 10 years now, and I have not been this excited about a range of so called 'vintage' clothes in AGES! The original patterns are included, so if you prefer the tighter fit in some of the original patterns, you could always adjust your tension accordingly. There are so many patterns that I can not wait to start knitting, but just looking through this book is a delight! There are new techniques I can't wait to try out, and I feel confident this book would guide me through. There is a perfect mix of high production value and challenging, informative reference text that you rarely find in knitting books now. All in all a knitting staple and an essential reference guide for anyone who loves vintage knitting!

Great Fine-Gauge Knitting Patterns

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 27 ottobre 2012

Acquisto verificato

I like the instant gratification of the large stitch knitting projects. But it's the garments made with fine gauge yarn that get the most use in my wardrobe.

Many of the garments in this book are worked over U.S. #3 needles using fingering weight yarns. Personal favorites include the Tyrolean Jumper Coat and the Blouse with Gathered Neckline. These vintage patterns have been reworked for modern sizing yet retain the look and construction of the original patterns. If you've ever seen beautiful fine gauge yarn on sale yet dreaded making another tedious sock, this book is for you.

The directions are clearly written and the photographs show the modern versions of the garments from multiple angles. The original directions and models are also shown in a reduced-size format. Yes, it's an expensive book. But it has many more patterns than the average knitting book, and honestly has a better variety than the first volume. I hesitated when I saw the purchase price but I'm glad I bought it.

Absolutely fabulous, I borrowed this book from local library, and thought it that good had to have a copy for myself. Will attempt some of the patterns soon, I hope.

Vintage Sweaters

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 4 dicembre 2012

Acquisto verificato

Vintage-style clothing is very fashionable today. If you're a knitter, as am I, you have been wanting to make a bolero, sweater, or accessory item inspired by the flattering feminine looks of the 1940s or 1950s. This is the book for you! There are so many ideas and projects your biggest hurdle will be settling on which will be your first. You will see each pattern as it originally appeared with pictures of the item recreated in modern yarns. The modernized patterns are clear and make use of modern time-saving techniques. So you really have the best of worlds. The purist may pursue it her own way, as may the modernist knitter.
