Bringing Back a Dying Art

I am just putting the finishing touches on a new project...
A few years back, I acquired several dozen crochet & knitting patterns from the 1890s-1920.  Due to their age the patterns themselves needed much TLC to make them readable.  I took on the task of retyping each pattern so that I could offer these beauties for sale.  I'm anxious to see what someone is able to do with a modern-day version of these.  If you happen to purchase a pattern and complete it-send along a photo and I will feature it next to the original photo here on my blog!

Here are some of the patterns-COMING SOON! The restoring process to the photos and the patterns is nothing short of painstaking but I vow to get through it as soon as I am able. Until then, enjoy the sneak peek:
