If you make any of these things, be sure to send me a photo of the finished product! Please don't send me requests for that obscure sweater pattern you knitted back in 1967. I dont have it, sorry.
Some of these pattern books were purchased from Laurie at vintageknits.com who is really nice, so visit her site and buy stuff.
Fine print: Since these pattern books were published prior to 1963, I believe that they are in the public domain. ("Works published in the U.S. after 1922 through 1963: Initial term of 28 years. If not renewed during the 28th year, the work falls into the public domain.") I also believe that supplying these patterns to the public for the purpose of research and education falls under fair use.
