This Woman's Day Knitting Book from 1972 features lots of pantsuit patterns for the career gal, along with tunics, maxi skirts, jackets, and the lovely Spanish-style shawl on the cover. Great ads too!

I love all the vintage crochet and knit pics. I'm actually thinking of doing a blog post on a set of vintage handmade doilies that I got from my grandmother. (made by my great aunts) I just need to take a few good photos of them.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like the pics! I'd love to see your doily collection. Lovely heirlooms are nice to have.
