Women’s Illustrated had great content for women from the 1930s onwards, including pieces by Barbara Cartland and even a fashion column by Christian Dior! During the 1950s, with rationing over, readers were urged to spend on knitting… @KCGCollection #KCGOxford

All set for my keynote and workshop on knitting in 1950s Woman’s Illustrated at the @KCGCollection Oxford Regional Day! Complete with archive material, plus a shawl-in-progress to work on during the other talks (@turfstarwolf do you recognise the yarn?)
Dr Ellie Reed retweeted
Woman’s Illustrated made high-end fashion accessible to all. Anny Blatt was one of the most popular designers whose patterns were regularly featured. @ViolaChasm @KCGCollection #KCGOxford

Synthetic yarns were popular: they washed more easily than wool, reducing laundry work (here’s Woman’s Illustrated’s favourite model, Jane, again). These forward-looking futuristic designs and yarns fitted with the aspirations of the 1950s. @KCGCollection #KCGOxford @ViolaChasm

Knitting in Woman’s Illustrated offered high-end fashion on an affordable budget, an opportunity to celebrate the end of austerity through shopping, a place to develop and showcase skills, and a great source of community. @ViolaChasm @KCGCollection #KCGOxford

"...devastatingly direct. Hart guts and skins these songs...".
Very chuffed to be selected as folk album of the month in today's Guardian.

Why? Presumably (and w/o more context) because they are plentiful after a molt or late season butchering. You can't use the wing or tail feathers as stuffing. Might as well strip the shafts. Poverty and/or limited access are often reason enough for make-do practices.
Dr Ellie Reed retweeted
OH, I think it was because feathers were available are renewable, and if the child lost one, it was not a catastrophe. The real knitting needles were valuable and precious tools, only given to those trustworthy enough to keep track of them.
