1940s Vintage Sweater Finished! // Casual Friday S05E17

In this week's Casual Friday podcast, I have tidbits and a finished project: the 1940s sweater in my long term project to knit a sweater from each decade from the 1890s to the 1990s. The long term project examines the evolution of the hand knit sweater, in terms of what the purpose of a sweater was, the tools and materials used, the construction method, the techniques used in the construction process, and how the instructions are presented to the knitter. I'll go over each of those areas, as well as show the modifications I made. We'll also see the version of the sweater that Billie from Show and Tell knitting made as part of a collaboration.
