I have a serious addiction to vintage crochet booklets. Those thin little pamphlets from the 40s - 60s, they call to me. I have yet to make something from one of them - I don't do alot of work with thread and that is mostly what they are - but boy, I sure do like to look through them. Anybody else addicted to these bad boys? We could flash our stash.

I need to practice more with the thread. I long to make dollies but I still struggle with consistent stitches. I don't have a problem with yarn, but it take a special talent for thread! :)

I have a huge collection of vintage crochet booklets,I love them and probably make more doilies and projects out of them than any of my more modern crochet books!

I have several of them
some of them in magazine forms some books..
I have a few books I brought from Dover's once
I am making a crochet thread bedspread
Each motif is shape in a hexagon with popcorn stitches.
It takes 30 minutes or more to do one
I have about 7 more rows I think to do
It is taking me a long time to do them ; what with doing other projects.
I can't do just one thing I get bored with it
That is why it takes me a long time to do some things.ha hugs sheila

Well....we are kindred spirits on the vintage crochet booklets! I've been collecting them for a dozen years or so...in addition to the neat patterns I just love the line drawings..especially in the baby pattern booklets.

Yup!! I had a few years ago, but due to moving I lost them. I got them in Canada and they were of the sweet crinoline ladies that you crochet and then sew onto items like towels etc. SO cute, wish I still had them :(

Kim, they sound wonderful. I am new this year to crochet so I AM very limited in my abilities; but I am truly an addict. Yarn, books and whatnot just keep findin their way home with me. Seeing how I LOVE vintage...I'd probably love those little books too!
