Well I just had to tell someone who would like this.I just got back from my mom's and she sent me home with her crochet collection of books.There are about 300 books and such. I was so excited!I won't be able to decide what to do first.

Wow! That is great. I am sure you will be busy for a while deciding what project to do first. Have fun going through them all.

Did you get any books from the 60's - 70's? I had one with granny square vests, hats, ponchos and other "hippy" stuff. I wish I still had it. Some of those things are "in" now.

awww, that's great...I find myself building my stash of patterns from vintage buys because that way I can pretend they were handed down - Enjoy your time thumbing through them looking for your next projects. Donna
