Okay I finally ordered that book I have been wanting since it was published in 1998. The title is "Lace From The Attic" which is right up my alley. ( no pun intended).
The writer, found a relative's sample notebook of lace patterns..in the attic I am talking from memory as I do not have the book yet. Before we had these wonderful books, knitters and crocheters too, would learn patterns from one another and keep the swatches in a notebook.
Which brings me to my topic...Knitting Patterns on the Cheap. I rarely pay full price for any book as there are so many deals out there now. And when I had more time...you know when I was three...I would check the book out at my local library, take it home for a few days. then if I really liked it ...look for a deal to buy it.
Here is a web site that has recently come to my attention. Lots of free vintage Patterns and Pictures.

As mother's day is quickly approaching it is time to forage through my vintage patterns. Spring is here...almost... and soon it will be too hot to work with wool.
