[lilpug]

Maybe we should try to bring those fashions back!

I would love for some vintage crocheting:) alot of the vintage is coming back in style.

[needlesandpinza]

it really is. I was watching some show on the style network and they had gaughcho pants and what we used to call tulip skirts. I freaked out and called my mom to turn it on. she laughed so hard

http://bumbles102774.tripod.com/ is one,,,but the original groovy crochet site ,,well, let me try to find a link I can use.

[Riohnna]

The other link I was intending to share won't work, I have no idea how to fix it!

I actually HAVE that first one in my collection. Actually, I have LOTS of patterns from that era. Guess I'm old.

[needlesandpinza]

I have noticed some are worded a bit differently but when i ask mom she knows exactly how to word it for todays terms.

[catheryn]

Okay, ya'll. I am old enough to remember dressing like that!!!! ROFLMBO

[needlesandpinza]

I actually wore the granny-square hat in the second picture. My grandma made it for me, and I thought I looked pretty cool in it.

I saw an old crochet leaflet at the thrift store today and *almost* bought it. But it made my eyes cross, even though it was from the 60s. One was a floor-length skirt done in large granny squares. Even for $1, I decided to spend my money elsewhere.....

If you make the white, brown and black ripple top and some of the Shrinks longer they would work great as mini dresses, the Mod styles that are going to be all the rage this spring.

I tried to post it too and had a problem, so I checked the 'villes guidelines to see if something had changed in the rules for posting links.

 

They have the Internet Archive links blocked because there is some concern that it violates the copyright laws.

I totaly LOVE that ripple top! I wish I had that pattern! Looks absolutely modern to me.

[Roli]

Okay you guys...laugh all you want but we were on the cutting edge of fashion in our day! I remember making and wearing some of those granny square tank tops!

[snowqueen]

I must say, I really liked the ripple top too! I love zeropixies idea of making it into a mini dress.

[yarncat]

Out of site,man!

[yellowrose]

I sure can remember those good old days.

[mizduck]

I really like those long black pants in the first one!

[needlesandpinza]

I must say, I really liked the ripple top too! I love zeropixies idea of making it into a mini dress.
