This is my first vintage knitting pattern...
To commemorate Princess Elizabeth’s first official visit to Canada in 1951, the T. Eaton Co. Limited (one of Canada’s greatest retail and social institution) produced and promoted a special knitting pattern in honour of the Royal Visit. 
Now there is an Irish connection…
Timothy Eaton who founded Eaton’s in 1869 was an Irish immigrant.

Diane, was that the Eaton who owned the cake shop in Terenure? If so thats where I grew up and on special occasions got cakes from this shop, especially chocolate eclairs. Boy that is a childhood memory for me if it is
Very cool, Diane. I love vintage patterns as really good ones have a timeless quality. So, is that going onto your 'to be knit' list? :-)
