knitterblogger1970sglory

Here is my blog where you can see my knitting, knitted from patterns from the 1970's and the years leading up. I love digging out patterns from charity and antique shops and, even better, delving into my mums old collection. I am about to knit my way around Europe and am finding the idea of wool in a warmer climate quite exciting. Please contact me if you are interested in any of my 1970's glory or if you have a knitted bit of history you would like to be wearing soon.
