Or, dust on the sewing machine means my needles are flying!

It’s February!! That means, for all you fellow Aussie ladies (and gents?), there are about three or four months left to go before you can seriously break out the hot winter styles. Seriously, readers, I am dreaming of the day when I can pull on a jumper and a tartan wool skirt. In my eagerness, I have been scouring Ravelry for cute vintage-inspired patterns to knit, because if I start now I might actually have something finished when it starts getting chilly!
For your knitterly delectation, I have gathered here some of my favourite patterns. I tried to pick something to cover most parts of you! Best of all, they’re all free! Just click on the pictures to get to the patterns. Start knitting! Now! What are you waiting for?!
Joan Crawford Cardigan
3-Hour Sweater
From a 1930’s knitting pattern booklet.
Lady Jodie Hat
Gorgeous little flapper-style hat!
Bow-Knot Scarf
I have made several of these and they are insanely cute & warm!
Women’s Long Gloves
You better believe I will be knitting some long gloves this winter. They are so fantastic.
Bell Curve Skirt
Hot. Hot. Hot. 1940’s suit, anyone?
1930 Tap Bra and Panties
I have loved these forever, still have to get around to making some!
Is there something here that tickles your fancy? Maybe start with the gorgeous underwear! I might go with the cute cloche hat, it’s just too adorable for words. Happy knitting (or dreaming of knitting)! xox

I like the underwear a lot. I’ve tried to knit the 3-hour sweater and let me tell you, it is a big fat liar!
…3 hour sweater? I highly doubt it! D:
Ooh I love knitting! I can’t stop thinking about it at the moment, the only problem is I live in England so I should really be focusing on spring/summer clothes! I love that bell curve skirt and your love heart needles are super cute too!
Oops! Forgot to credit the needles – they are not mine 😦 Boo! Oh well. I have edited the post to reflect this.
Its so wonderful to have a blog to read that written in the same hemisphere. I have started with some crochet. The pineapple shawl. Its going well, it will be finished well before winter. I knitted a simple beanie last year to get some first time knitting practice in. I must try another knitting project this year. Good luck.
I’m still trying to get through my first project, at the moment. It MAY be ready in time for winter. Haha.

I love all of it but even the under wear is a bit much for my heat. Cairns, FAR north Queensland, is warm even is winter.
Good luck getting all you want done in time.
Enken would you make me a red bow neck scarf? I’m very interested and pay you to boot! let me know ^_^
Oh that hat!!!!
Make that!
I have one of those bow scarves. They are cute! I actually can’t stand having things around my neck, so I don’t wear it often.
