Happy New Year!

For 2025 I'll use patterns from 1911-1949. I'm going to focus on giving the patterns I have in physical form some love so there will be some big gaps in the 1920s and the early half of the 30s. 

For 1911-1916, I have the Crochet Designs booklet that also had Victorian era patterns, a Bucilla Blue Book from 1913 and a compilation of Annie Orr patterns. Annie Orr's patterns were published between 1910-1945 and will be the only source for the 1920s-1930s.

Workbasket Magazine started publishing in 1935 so I'm going to make an exception to the physical pattern for the first two issues. Since the gift of the Workbasket Magazines from my mother-in-law, Alma, started this whole blog I think that's a fair exception. I have plenty of patterns from the 1940s so most of the year will be spent in that decade.

Next week I'll start with the Crochet Designs booklet below. It has nine patterns from 1911-1912 and I have plans to make a pretty simple one.
