Has anyone seen the new Miss Marple TV series with Geraldine McEwan as Jane Marple? I noticed that the titles to the series start with a ball of yarn and knitting needles, and I just noticed tonight what and interesting sweater she was wearing, a sort of oatmeal or beige cardigan with crossover collar tabs fastened with big leather buttons. She also wears long plain knitted coats as well. I wonder whether there are old pattern pictures that would reflect her clothes (this series is supposed to take place in the late 40s).

Can't think of any place in particular, SPampot, but a search on vintage knits circa 1940s should find something.

Oh Great !!! I haven`t seen it yet , but do you suppose , they will sell the patterns like they did with the `Poncho`? ps i think the Piecework is advertising [ and selling ] from time to time a reprint of An old Books series about with Patterns of all sorts. mirjam
I've not seen the series, but the books are full of her knitting; there's a plot where shesolves the mystery while buying yarn, iirc, and always she's got some project on the go.
