Half way through a pair of stockings with a feather and fan lace panel down the front of each leg. This pair are spoken for but I'm wondering if I can squeeze in a pair for my stand at the Step Out In Style market in 5 weeks time.

Hot Off The Needles is the white Patons Ostrich keyhole/Miss Marple scarf. This eyelash yarn is so lush and full that you can barely see the knitted stitches. Pity it has long been discontinued and the replica yarns are quite weedy.
Grab a scarf at the Step Out In Style market during Winter Deco.

The collar is complete and I'm now knitting the first cuff. I'm so pleased with how the set is turning out and just how I'd pictured it.

This pattern has been on my To Do list for a few years and I'm pleased to be knitting it at last. It was designed to jazz up a plain 1930s day dress but I think it will be even better with eveningwear.
I've completed the collar and am working on the tie then will be making the cuffs.
The yarn I'm using is vintage Twilley's of Stamford Gold Fi*****ng in bronze which is really sparkly and it seems ideal for this project which has no tension guide in the pattern.
The set will be available for purchase at the 'Step Out In Style' market on Friday, 17 July.

7 weeks to go for the 'Step Out In Style' market at Winter Deco in July. This 1939 pattern is part of my Cotton Collection for sale at the event and I expect to finish it either today or tomorrow.

Next, I will be finishing the pieces I've started for my Eveningwear Collection. I've some items you haven't seen yet and no other knitter is selling so do follow me if you don't already and put the Step Out In Style event in your calendar as it's a one day only event.
