Mintage 1930s style knitted suit, 2024

My eldest sister gifted me a large quantity of the beautiful yarn used for this, so I had no excuse not to attempt a jacket AND skirt for this suit set! The Vintage jacket pattern was purchased from "Vintage Knit Affair" and the skirt was from a Vintage late 1930's booklet from our Mintage N.Z. Library. It makes me feel effortlessly elegant and warm, and was perfect for the wearing to the Napier Winter Deco Festival. I wish a life of elegant adventures for it and for whoever purchases it in the future.
