I love to create clothing from "true" vintage knitting and crocheting patterns, which are very difficult to find in the US; and when I do nail down a source, the pattern is moldy, portions of a magazine for a particularly nice pattern have been carefully removed (as though I wouldn't notice the pagination moving from page 42 to page 59), and then the source becomes incognito.

Part of the fun is "translating" the old-fashioned terms, and imagining why a horse would need knitted ear-muffs! Never mind, my English-Irish grandmother, still sharp at age 93 and the one who taught me these womanly skills, will explain the next time I visit.
