    Vintage Crochet Pattern Collection!

    September 26th, 2010

    317 one-of-a-kind vintage crochet patterns that are over 100 years old!

    If you love to make vintage crochet designs, but find that good patterns are difficult to find, then this could be the best website you’ve ever surfed into!

    I’ll be honest, I love crocheting and knitting…unfortunately I’m not very good.  I’m definitely still a beginner, but what I’ve found frustrating is the patterns I find are all the same, boring stuff, over and over.  Have you noticed the same thing?  Once in a blue moon you might find a great vintage pattern that actually has some bit of personality, but it ain’t easy.

    So, I took it upon myself to find some awesome vintage crochet designs.  It wasn’t easy, it took several months to compile the collection that is here…but I succeeded!  And I’m offering this package to you, so you can spend your time crocheting, not looking for patterns!

    You Won’t Find Anything Else,
    Like This Great Collection,
    Anywhere Else!

    How do I know?  Because I looked (and looked and looked). Don’t get me wrong, I’m definitely not a crochet expert.  In fact, like I said, I have more enthusiasm than actual talent.  But what I am good at is finding amazing resources…like the antique books that contributed to this collection of crochet patterns.

    All of the fantastic patterns in this collection are over 100 years old!  That’s why I call them *true* vintage crochet patterns.  There are hundreds here…all from the turn of the century…last century :)

    Make Incredible Crochet Creations

    Here are just a few of the possibilities you’ll discover with this collection…

      Round Loom Knitting and Free Slipper Pattern

      September 25th, 2010

      Round loom knitting

      Round loom knitting is quick, easy and fun. I made up a pair slippers for my granddaughter in no time at all. This little loom came in very handy the other day when I needed a pair of slippers. My son in law dropped off my 18-month-old granddaughter at 5:30 am the other morning on his way to work. She had on these really cute boots, which were warm but too clunky for all-day and playing. She didn’t want to wear and persisted on taking them off. It was pretty cold out side and I did not want her to go around in her stocking feet. I remembered I had made up some slippers when making a pattern. I dug around and found those slippers, and put them on her.

      Knitting Loom

      The slippers I and fit her but just barely. So I pulled out the knitting loom and yarn and began another pair just a bit bigger. She loved them and kept them on all day, till it was time to go home. Later that evening my daughter called and asked if I would make yet another pair. It seems after Olivias bath she wanted her slippers back on. My daughter explained these are the only slippers she has ever kept on.

      Free baby knitting pattern

      Olivias Slippers 18 months 2 skeins yarn worsted weight 1 (14 peg baby bootie loom) Make 2 slippers Wrap all 14 pegs with 2 strands of yarn Rows 1 – 12 – Knit each row 13 – Hang hem Knit around 14 14 – 17 Knit each row Now short row down to 3 stitches Knit 2 rows on these 3 stitches Short row back to out 1 peg at a time Knit 12 rows to toe end String off loom and gather toe and tie off. For a tie to weave into ankle of slipper chain 60 (make two) There are some free patterns online for the grandmothers, mothers, aunts and friends to make up for the ones we love. These are an easy pair of slippers for the toddler and just a sample of what can be created on a knitting loom. So if you are looking for a quick and useful gift, these just may be the ticket. I like the round loom knitting for the speed and ease of knitting. If you need a hat, slipper or booties this is the loom to use. These items can be made up in only an hour or two. If you have not tried loom knitting you are missing a fun and easy craft. This is the perfect year for thoughtful handmade gifts. So grab a loom and yarn and made somebody a bit warmer this year, in thought and temperature. They will really appreciate it.
