Another one bites the dust...

 
...And another one gone, and another one gone…. Another one bites the dust (Hey, Hey!) from the knitting pile!  < Please re-read this last bit and imagine Freddie Mercury on vocals and John Deacon on bass- it works sooo much better!
 
Yay! I've nearly finished my 1939 zipper. I say "nearly" because I still have a sleeve head to knit first. Then.... (cue a bloodcurdling scream for dramatic emphasis) I have to sew it up  and crochet some stripy boarders (eek), which, needless to say, I’m not looking forward to.
 
Oh and I need to find a zip (that might help seeing as it has a zip down the front!), and buy some contrasting wool for the boarders...
 
 
Tis and odd post really, but I'm super happy about nearing the end of another project and just had to tell someone about it!

Ol' grumpy chops knitting in the gardinks.
 
No doubt I will be back in a year or so to show off my finished zipper. ;)

This Day In 1939





Here are some snippets from ‘The Times’ sold on this day, 4th September 1939, 72 years ago. The day before, 3rd September, Britain had declared war on Germany…. The resulting news talked about the evacuation of children and other priority beings, air raid precautions and the services.
