Vintage inspired hand-knit vest

This seems to be my most popular piece. It's hand knitted from a 4ply cotton yarn with a leaf design that widens down the body for the hips. The belt tie is hand dyed and printed silk with a peony and beetle design, and the brooch is a knitted wool peony with embroidery. One of the most time consuming pieces, and one of 2 pieces I've put on my new Folksy shop, so we'll see if it gets any interest!

Front and back of my vintage inspired corset/waist cincher/suspender. I think girdle is probably the right word, but it's not a nice one!

This is knitted with one strand of wool and one of cotton so it is quite a solid but soft knit. The embellishments are silk that has been screen printed with my drawings and then hand embroidered over, and the suspender straps are soft dyed silk and little buttons.

One of my finished pieces: Knitted pure merino slippers with printed silk insole, printed and embroidered leather sole and hand dyed silk ties. I made the ties long so they would wrap up around the leg, and have sewn some little knitted leaves on the ends to finish. I think they're very cute, and the wool is beautiful and soft. About a size 4-7.
