Last week in Roswell we visited an antique mall and I scored a big bag of vintage knit/crochet pattern books. I love finding things like that! There are so many lovely patterns-- tons and tons of sweaters especially-- so I scanned a few of my favorites to share with you guys (I'll do the rest soon). Also, the ads are really pretty.
Please let me know if you attempt any of these! I'm super curious to know how they'll turn out, and who knows when I'll get around to trying one. I especially love the stripey dress.
This one was just a catalog of patterns instead of actual patterns, so sad. It's full of adorableness.
Raglan Pullover -- Love love love the one on the left.

Along with the pattern books, there were a few crochet hooks and a set of vintage Susan Bates dpns tagging along in the bag. (The zippered pouch is useful! Very excited about the pouch):
They look exciting! I'm knitting a pair of stockings from a vintage pattern at the moment - they're for a friend who's planning to wear them for her wedding. So no pressure then!
ReplyDeleteI love them all!! I used to crochet shells for myself in my 20s. I got lazy, I think. I did SO MUCH in my 20s!
ReplyDeleteNorhwest: Oh wow yeah, no pressure at all!
ReplyDeletetxvoodoo: Holy cow, I didn't know you crocheted!! So awesome. :D
Look, it's a year later and I'm re-reading, lol.
ReplyDeleteDo you have the patterns up somewhere? And I'm knitting now, yay!
Yay knitting!! Here you go. Actually this comment reminded me that I never did Part 2 of these, haha, so thanks!
