More About the Author

I started publishing vintage patterns when I found that what I was looking for was difficult to find and when I found vintage patterns; they were of poor quality and high in cost. I wanted to make these patterns more readily available, of higher quality and with a more reasonable price tag. Afterall, knitters and crocheters need to have money left over to purchase: Yarn, thread, needles, crochet hooks, the appropriate buttons, more yarn, etc. Since we all know that 'She who dies with the most "_______________" (Insert your addiction) WINS!!!

This review is from: Filet Crochet from Yesterday (Crocheter's Historical Pattern Series, Vol. 1) (Paperback)

A truly valuable buy. Full of vintage charts that can be used and adapted to make pretty much anything, this is just the thing to get those creative juices flowing. Most of the designs do not include step by step instructions, though, so you'll want to be familiar with reading filet charts before taking on this book. I bought this book to use to crochet things for my hope chest, and I know that this is an addition to my crochet library that I'll be going back to for many years to come.
