A generous friend (Hi Barbara!) shared some of her thrifted goodies with me – vintage knitting pattern books. I have been pouring over them and marveling at the wonderful photos such as the one above. The whales on the wall are the best! I haven’t had a chance to study the actual patterns just yet, but I have a feeling I’m still too much of a novice to give them a try. I’ll just enjoy the photos for now.
