Just so we are clear on what this blog is about, I have some pattern and crafting books from the 60s/70s, and I would like to share their contents on here.
Unless requested by the copyright holder, I will keep the patterns up, including photos in the case of cross stitch patterns and in general the final product appearance, but I will be hand typing the patterns myself, rather than photocopying from the books.
I myself started crocheting only about two years ago, and found it hard to get decent quality, free patterns, and all of the books I possess were donated to a charity shop to rot before I started picking them up out of curiosity.
I will include as detailed citations as I can for the books that I'll be sharing from, and I will try to update regularly.
I plan to keep the bare-bones look of this blog for now, so I can focus on building up content, rather than worry about personal aethetics, as this is more like lending you all a book I own... only, you know, online 👀
Please enjoy this free service, and show appreciation just by following, and if you decide to make one of the works, feel free to tag me! I would love to see these older patterns given new life! ❤️
Hope you're having a nice day, and happy crafting.
Sincerely,
Zie F.
Edit: Since it takes a lot of time to type these things out myself, I will also be sharing links to free patterns and/or tutorials that I have found helpful or interesting!
