QUEUE

I have a lot of vintage magazines with knit and crochet projects I plan to make.  But as they are not sourced on Ravelry, I can't add them to a queue there.  So I thought this would be a good place to record them for my purposes, and also to share them with any visitors.

crocheted Librarian's Vest  -  Man's small size has 42" finished chest size and takes 9 skeins of Aarlan Arwetta.  Crochet hook 3/G for gauge: 24 sc = 4 in.  Yarn is a discontinued fingering weight 75/25 wool/nylon blend with knitting gauge of 28 stitches w/US 2-4 needle.  Put-up is 210 yards.  I like the classic style and broken cable rib done with front post stitches.

McCall's Needlework & Crafts - August 1988

knit Petite Fleur Cardigan - a 41" finished bust size takes 12 balls of W. West Romance.  US #8 for 20 stitches gauge.  Yarn is discontinued worsted weight 50/50 wool/rayon blend.  The flowers and leaves are knit-in bobbles.  BTW, this is an early design by Norah Gaughan.  The satin buttonband is a nice touch.   I'm thinking I would like this as a pullover vest with a scoop neck.
