Specialising in reproducing vintage and retro knitwear and accessories

I specialising in reproducing vintage and retro knitwear from original vintage patterns.

I am especially interested in producing items which reflect the fashion eras of the 1940s and 1950s.

My knitwear can be made bespoke in any size or colour and though I usually work in yarns suitable for vegans (or those like me have given up hand washing) I can produce knitwear in any yarn.

In addition I produce accessories to compliment the fashions of the vintage and retro eras and for fun make kitsch items for the kitchen such as tea cosies.

I started producing vintage knitwear because I found that many modern patterns do not have the shaping to enhance the fully figure and because many vintage patterns are knitted in smaller sizes I have learned to adapt them to the modern figure.
