Vintage Children's Craft Sets

I want to direct you to a post on my other
blog - crazyhaberdasher - I hope you
will enjoy reading about two vintage children's
craft sets from the 1920's.
The graphics on the box tops of
the vintage Spear's Games sets are
delightful!
You can also read about my other
children's sewing and embroidery sets
by following the links in the post.

Vintage Boxed Knitting Toy

This is an oldie but a goodie!

I just love the graphics on the lid and
the sides of the box.


And below - inside the box as found.
This set is from around 1910's - 1920's.

Knitting for Dolls

Here is a lovely knitted

set for your baby doll.
Being from 1949, it
would be perfect for
your hard plastic Pedigree doll!

(from an Australian magazine,
you will need to adapt for US knitting)

Here are some of my collection
of dolls.

I have still have many naked babies -
in these photos and elsewhere
that need to be dressed.
One of these days I will have them
all dressed!

KNITTY!

Has anyone seen Knitty before?
It is a knitting and crocheting cotton
in 3/4 oz balls.

Astor brand - would you say it is Australian?
Well, there is a small cute Koala in its illustration
appropriately wrapped around the trunk of the "T".

I cannot say for certain at this stage (I would
have to find the proof) but I think there may also
be an Astor brand darning card lurking somewhere
in a box in my household (we have just moved house
and I will need more time to uncover the
particular darning card that I think I
might have - you will have to stay
tuned for further developments!)
