Amazing information you are gathering, Kathryn.
This is so interesting, thanks for taking the time to share. I love history and crochet, so this is real eye and mind candy! I really enjoyed reading this. :-)))
Thanks for gathering all of this interesting history of crochet.
Thank you for collecting and posting all of this great stuff from the ’30s. I dearly love antique crochet and patterns, having learned how to crochet using cotton thread and a fiddly little steel hook (no one told me it was supposed to be hard so I wasn’t intimidated in the slightest). I don’t comment often but love reading all your posts.
Thanks so much for your message! I am so glad that others are appreciating these vintage posts!!
aDORE!
Your posts is absolutely wonderful. So much valuable information. Thank you for sharing. I was trying to find out when they first used cotton to crochet ladies gloves and discovered all of this!
Gostaria de receber receitas de crochet antigo.
