Phyliss and Joan brought in knitted trousers for everyone to look at
with coordinating jackets and tops. Suitable yarn types, amounts,
durability, finish and the patterns used were discussed. Their garments
were based on Ann Brown's patterns using various strands and plys of
acrylic crepe obtained from Uppingham, Yeomans, Undys and
Metropolitan.
Importance of individual measurement to obtain correct
personal fit and doing the tension square were main points stressed. The
knitted fabric was blocked and steamed to pattern. Surpisingly the trousers do
not seat or knee at all and after many washes and wears were good as
new.
Beginners table of entries and cup. Valerie was voted the winner with
the beautiful cowl and Ann knitted the cheerful orange jumper.
Sandra finished her suit at last and Sue showed off her baby shawl and
blanket for her expected grandaughter. Voted joint winners!
