The following photo is taken from an English Knitting Book circa 1945.
It illustrates a pattern for a beaded scarf.
Coronation Street fans and Tony Blair, I ask you...
Is this a photo of Pat Phoenix?
Ms Phoenix portrayed the glamorous Elsie Tanner for over 20 years. She wore a similar hat to this one when she married Alan Howard (when their characters were wed- I don't know about their offscreen do), and also to Emily and Ernest Bishop's wedding. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I would knit anything that might give me an ounce of Elsienish.
I read what happened when you posted this question on Ravelry. Oh, Morgan I'm so sorry! You can't expect other people to be sane. lol
ReplyDeleteI will never post on Ravelry (or any other message board) again. sigh.
