Episode 14 - 1920s Style

Rachel and Natalie introduce our new forum on Ravelry.  We take a look back at knitting in the 1920s and the social changes that influenced styles.  We have a long discussion of what we've been knitting.

Ideas for a Knit-a-long (Ravelry links):

• Cloud Bolero (Ysolda)
• Stormyweather Faux Cardi
• Storm Cloud Shawlette
• Cloud Shrug (Berrocco)
• Meandering Vines Shawl
• Twisted Rib Neckwarmer
• Cabled Feather Cowl
• Vent d'est vent d'ouest Cowl
• Cowl'd and Frosty Morning
• Cloudy Day Cowl (Crochet)

Let us know if you have any other suggestions!  We'd love to hear them.  Contact us here, through the Ravelry forun, or email us at CloudyChanceFiber(at)gmail(dot com) (replace @ and .com, we don't want to hear from spambots!)
