Poll time!

Since seeing your Mary Poppins sweater at Rhinebeck, I want to update my response and include pre-1920s!

Yes, absolutely! I totally agree that the Edwardian/ Victorian patterns have a ton of hidden gems that are surprisingly easy to incorporate into a contemporary-ish wardrobe!

Thinking about the vintage patterns I could easily find on Ravelry, it seems the 30s 40s 50s have the styles we would most likely recognise and find attractive to wear ourselves, but there were a handful of 20s patterns that were very interesting in their bold colour choices, and it is just at the end of that decade, 1929, that we see the move to a new silhouette and a different interpretation of art deco. There were not a lot of patterns from the Edwardian and late Victorian eras, but there were a few that were surprisingly attractive and modern looking with at least one beautiful coat knitted up by someone on Rav. There are sure to be a lot of hidden gems out there that didn't appear in my basic searches for "1910s" and "1912" etc.

I knit a lot of 40s pieces, but would love to be able to incorperate more 30s into my wardrobe. Its hard to find 30s patterns with a 42 bust pattern!

I tend to enjoy styles from the 40s and 50s, but honestly am open to knitting an exploring other patterns / eras. I'm pretty new to vintage in general, and would love to broaden my horizons :)

1930s style is my absolute favourite! But I would be happy to see a mix of patterns from all the different eras.

I am so new to vintage style, I had to do some Google-fu to look into it. I didn't realize there were such strong differences between decades. I found pieces I love from all of them! But the 40s silhouette really is darling. Hits all the right buttons.

I love the 30-50's.

Loving the 40s and 50s - and can't wait to knit with all these FABULOUS knitters!!

Wow hard to choose. It seems 40's love is hard on vintage knitters🤭💃

Yes, we can. I love it all too but the 40's are my favorite. (I think, lol)

I am loving this feedback! Can you all see the poll results?

If you have the basic skills down, I think you'll be just fine! I am doing my best to offer patterns for all skill levels. :)

1930-1950

I love it all! My personal style is probably 40-50s motorcycle girl.

Difficult to choose just one!

Everything from war-time and the few years just after are my most favourite- but the Depression Era had some fabulous styles!

1930s-1950s, can't wait to see what you come up with!

I love it all but I agree about the strong shoulder game of the 1940s. 😂

So hard to choose , love them all in different ways....

I am an intermediate knitter. I hope this school will not be too difficult for me. I am very excited to improve my skill.

Actually I am interested in ALL... Can't wait to see what you come up with...

My favorite period in post-war 40's and early 50s, but I love them all.

The 40s is always my favorite; but I have knit a lot of 30s pieces in the past and love that decade for home knitting as well!

Im a sucker for the 40s and early 50s but I sure am excited to learn about all of the eras listed!

I love them all

Honestly all of the above, voted for my favourites but it's all a win to me

Having only just watched Downton it was the pre and ww1 eras I was blown away by.

A thing i really enjoy in vintage fashion is that both the 1890s and 1940s went hard for strong shoulders 😍
