Just finished this gorgeous, negative ease double rib and cable jumper. 

For those of you who don't want to ruin your eyesight, the pattern can be found here 

Trove is an Australian site with a wealth of  magazines, papers etc and a LOT of free patterns to enjoy. Because of their audience, I find most of their patterns are practical and stylish, without being too outlandish. And their names are so straightforward - there is no trying to figure out what a 'Daphne' looks like - the clue is right there in the name.

This one is from October 1945. The War had just ended although rationing in the UK would still be in place for several more years, so many women could still wear these 'nowhere to hide' designs.  

As usual, my pictures do not do this jumper justice.

love the v-shaped cable yoke

how cute are these cable cuffs though

'Cinderella' buttons found on a recent thrifting foray - they match perfectly

reinforced the button band with a gorgeous velvet ribbon

This was knit with stylecraft special 4ply acrylic in 'denim' and using 3.75mm instead of 3,25mm needles.. This means that even though the ribbing may make it look tiny, scrawny even; there is massive stretch in them thar hills.
