In this week's Casual Friday, I answer viewer questions, I finished a pair of pants that fit, and I have two new projects on the needles: a new sweater and some vintage socks. Also, a small announcement and some handspun yarn!

PANTS THAT FIT
The template we used for the pants is The New Magic-Fit Master Pattern for Pans (Designing with Dusan). There are lots of these vintage patterns available on etsy and ebay. The company was bought out later, and has been updated with differently-shaped templates, sold under the name of Sure-Fit Designs.
The 1930s sweater pattern is called "A Popular Model" My Ravelry project page for the sweater is here, with links to where to find the pattern: ravel.me/Rox/apm
SPINNING FOR SOCKS
The fleece was a 3/4 BFL, 1/4 Romney cross
