Vintage 1966 Knit Barbie Fashion Patterns

Gads, those scans of the patterns are small! I have them scanned large but I cant get them to show up here as anything but tiny and unreadable. Ok, so, maybe later I'll figure out how to change that but for now I'm posting them in my Deviantart scraps.

Vintage 1966 Knit Barbie Fashion

My mother let me borrow these McCalls patterns from their Spring-Summer 1966 magazine. Took me ages to scan, each page needed 4 different scans and then I had to stitch them together in photoshop! I have more patterns I will post soon. I just dont have the energy at the moment.

But I am knitting! I'm almost done with the slacks from this pattern. Theyre white and looking good so far. I dont have size 2 needles though, so I'm knitting them on my 3's. When I'm done I'll post a good photo of them. Also, I'm working on a coat from here - http://barbiebasics.tripod.com/knit50.html I'll post that, too, when I'm done!

First Post!

Ok, well, Ive decided to make a new blog. I havent kept up any of the others and I was thinking that maybe because I just need some new scenery.

But I cant post anything long right now. My boyfriend, Shane, wants the computer to play EQ2, BAH!!

Oh well, I can do more tonight.....
