Vintage Crochet Patterns

                                                                                   

 I love  vintage and antique  greeting cards and postcards These images  are from here .Many of the postcards  from the early 1900s, the greeting cards are from a little bit later in the century, the 1930s through the early 50s. I know it isn't valentines day but these images are so cute

I am like a woman possessed  when I get a thought in my head .I decided to find some vintage crochet images

I found this image and  that lead me onto the Free Vintage Crochet, a website that is devoted to providing fans of crochet with a huge variety of patterns at no cost, has just reached a very impressive milestone. Two thousand vintage, hand restored free crochet patterns are now available to the public .Oh my goodness, this place rocks.

                                                                              
There are literally thousands upon thousands of free crochet patterns that are no longer available simply because they were published many years ago and are now out of print. Fortunately, the Internet gives us the opportunity to share these fun, exciting and long lost designs for everyone to enjoy again. They are currently working on reproducing a library of vintage patterns that have passed into the public domain .

                                                                              

All of the crochet patterns that appear on the website have passed into the public domain. That means that these designs are no longer protected by copyright and you are free to do whatever you would like to do with them! Copy them, share them, make finished items from them and sell them - let your imagination run wild! whoopee, however beware ,you might forget to make dinner once you log on.
