Hooray! Day Two! I was worried that I wouldn't have the chance to have this post finished before the end of today...my day job was threatening to get in the way. Darned day job. Anyway, here she is, the lovely, the phenomenal, the gorgeous...
Fitted Boucle Jacket
The pockets, the turned back cuffs, the collar, the model's self-assured expression...sigh. I may have to start searching for Boucle yarn!
As I've mentioned before:
I've made a couple of changes this time around - I'll be hosting the pattern instructions on Flikr, so that viewing and downloading the instructions is a whole lot easier.
Step 1: Just click on the link below and then click on the "set" on the left hand side that shows the pattern you're looking for.
Step 2: Click on the first page of the pattern and then click on the tiny, little "All Sizes" button at the top of the photo and pick the size you'd like to download.Step 3:
Click (wow, that's a whole lot of clicking!) on the "Download the ____
Size" button and Save or Open the file for your printing pleasure!
Let me know if you run into any trouble with this.
In terms of the needle sizing (most vintage patterns use UK/Canadian needle sizing) please use a conversion chart to find the needles you need depending on where you live.
Be sure to choose a fine yarn for this pattern, making sure to compare the pattern's needle size to the suggested size on your ball of yarn.
These are vintage patterns in small - medium sizes. If you're a curvier girl, I suggest that you use slightly larger needles than the ones suggested above, but stick with fine gauge yarn.

I figured that it was about time that I take a wee break from digging myself out from underneath the gigantic pile of fabric. The stash has been sorted...sort of...and six (yes, six) garbage bags full of the "do-not-wants" are going to a girlfriend of mine, much to the chagrin of her lovely husband. I wish I had been a fly on the wall on the set of a certain big-budget action film as my movie-lighting fella told her movie-lighting fella just how much fabric was on it's way to his house!
Anyhoo, here it is...Day One of the Fall/Winter Edition of A Week of Vintage Vogue Knitting! Yippee!

Now, the moment you've all been waiting for! May I present (drumroll please)...
This is an ideal Summer to Fall transition garment. The openwork stitching gives it a little bit of "breath-ability" and the three-quarter length sleeves add some of cool weather coverage.
