On a slightly happier note, I was very lucky this week to have acquired a huge pile of vintage knitting patterns dating back to the 1940's. Eeeep! I just had to share them here as I know many of you will just adore them...
Aren't they just beautiful! Not being a particularly capable knitter myself (yet!) I've decided to make these availabe in my Etsy shop over the coming days, as PDF patterns, (since they are out of copyright) and I think lots more people will be able to enjoy them along with me. Some of them have been damaged or written on so I shall have to take some time to re-type the text to make them useable, but in the meantime I thought you may enjoy seeing these beautiful scans.
Theres a whole bunch of adult (mens & womens) patterns that I shall also be sharing too. Some real stunners.

Love the patterns - I think Bestway ones are my favourite in general, lovely illustrations.
ReplyDeleteThey're beautiful. Intriguing - how do you know if something is 'no longer in copyright'? I know what you mean about wanting to improve on your knitting, I wish I was an amazingly capable knitter too. Sam xox
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable - kind of makes me want some children ;) I would love to see some of the women's patterns that you have as well. Fall is in full swing and I fear winter is just around the corner - and knitting is a comforting and practical winter hobby! (I trust in time you will become an expert knitter, your progress on Briar Rose was very promising - espcially the color work!)
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable and it's a great idea to get them on your Etsy shop!I'll defintely be taking a look when my knitting's up to it ;o)
