That photo of the future Edward 8th caused such a stir because previously all British royals had only been seen in formal clothing. To see a royal in sportswear was like seeing one in a bikini today as happened to the current Princess of Wales when she got papped on a private holiday.. The public loved Edward’s sporttswear. It fitted the rebellious vibe of the flapper generation.
The day my husband is up for wearing a vest like this, I will be on it! You did such a great job! 👏 I have a few patterns, but I can't convince him that he needs one haha I might just make one preemptively and wear it myself like a dress 😂 Vintage knitting is incredibly satisfying 😊 Susan Crawford does a lot of reproduction vintage if you ever want to make another vest or pullover. She has a Shetland book that has a lot of 1920s inspiration
Me, waiting with bated breath to see what book this incredible book comes from…and I realize…I have the very book sitting in a pile of library borrows that I haven’t dug into yet! 😂
This is such a cool project, and I love how you filmed at different stages of it!! I love that you went all in on making a project just like your vision and the final product looks great ☺
So excited that you made this vest for your husband! Have wanted one since seeing it in Rutt's History of Knitting. Would you consider a summer update vid after the party to show your outfits?
Of course! I’m not sure we are going this year but we will definitely at some point. I will probably make the pants too. Thank you for the nice comment!
Really enjoyed this video! The vest looks beautiful. I can't believe this doesn't have more views. How did you find the texture of the yarn to knit with? I guess softness is less important with something like this as you would always be wearing a layer underneath it and it won't have to touch your skin as much as normal sweater.
Thank you! Palette is a bit on the rougher side, definitely not for next to skin, but it’s durable and warm while at the same time making a thin fabric, so I think it’s good for this type of project. It was also really good for knitting colorwork, I had an easy time with the tension.
Lovely video! ❤ If you’re interested in knitting similar styles, I recommend looking into Susan Crawford’s work. She updates vintage patterns with great size range and design some as well

Wow, whoever owns that sweater vest sure is lucky!
😜
Looks great❤
In Europe it's also called a spencer (vest)

What a wonderful achievement....tks 4 sharing
I have been daydreaming about a vest like this, I added to cart so quick! You've inspired me to also give steeking a try❤
That’s gorgeous! I’m so curious to check out the book to see what else is in it…
It's beautiful! Great job. I'm impressed with all of it, and it makes me want to try. I think my big hurdle would be color selection.
It was a really interesting video! A full circle for sure. Beautiful vest, colours looks spot on 🤩

Beautiful work!! You did a fantastic job. Colorwork scares me so I really admire people that are able to do it (and do it so well)
You should’ve seen the first color work hat I made! It wouldn’t even fit ! It’s just a matter of repetition and perseverance :)
That is absolutely gorgeous! You did a wonderful job. First time here, and you earned my sub just in the intro with the history lesson. Thank you

Yes I have some of her books in my wishlist ☺️
