Keith
went to visit family this past weekend while I stayed home and tended
to domestic things. His mother, grandmother and aunt all knit and
crochet. As I previously mentioned, my mother-in-law has helped me
with some of the finer points of knitting and continues to do so.
When Keith returned home Sunday he presented me with a gift from his
aunt. She had amassed quite the collection of patterns, mostly
crochet but not exclusively, and had decided to pass them on to me.
Apparently she no longer has the time or desire to crochet and knit
as she once did. Well all I have to say to that is lucky me.
They
are mostly vintage patterns, surprisingly most are in English, Keith
comes from a French-Canadian family and usually everything is in
French. I was pleasantly surprise when I could read the majority of
them, others Keith will help me with I am sure. He is quite good at
translation. Mostly they are stuffed animals and clothes for them but
other stuff too. It looks like I will learn much, which is nice. I
will post any pictures if I make some this year.
Have
a good night.
You'll have to bring the patterns to our craft meet up this week! I love looking at vintage patterns, and some are better written than modern patterns.
