Antique Crochet

One of the highlights of the December 1931 Issue of Needlecraft Magazine: The gorgeous filet crochet pattern for a chair set designed by Mary Card. It’s pictured above.

The September 1933 issue of Needlecraft Magazine has some exquisite crochet patterns in it, including a pattern for the lovely filet crochet tea cloth you see above. There is a good mix of other needlework patterns in the issue as well. I won’t go into more detail in this blog post, because I’ve just updated […]

I just posted a new page on antique-crochet.com which is dedicated to the September 1931 issue of Needlecraft Magazine. The emphasis of this issue really isn’t crochet, but there is a good mix of needlework and there are a few crochet patterns included. This blog post shows just a tiny “sneak peek” of the […]

I’ve been working on creating some informational web pages about antique women’s magazines which featured needlework patterns, particularly crochet patterns. This isn’t a comprehensive list (yet) because I am focusing on my favorite publications- the ones that I am very familiar with and have in my own collection. However, I am hoping that these pages […]

From one of my favorite sellers on ebay! Goooood stuff.

If you like what you see here, I think you’ll want to check out the new web page I just created, which is dedicated to Antonie Ehrlich’s Crochet Pattern Book No. 2: Bedspreads.

I have been watching this UK-based seller’s ebay items for awhile now, and (s)he always seems to find amazing and gorgeous handmade crochet and needlework. These items are all unique so you never know exactly what you will find; some days it is vintage crochet galore, other days it’s lovely antique embroideries or handmade laces […]

I just came across some coupons for JoAnn.com, and I thought I’d pass them along. I LOVE IT when they have their “Free Shipping” coupon deals! Sometimes it seems like shipping costs almost as much as the items themselves do, so free shipping can be a fantastic deal.

They also have a coupon for 50% […]

One of today’s best finds: an antiquarian needlework book that looks like it is from the Victorian era. It is called Ladies’ Fancy Work: A Manual of Instruction In Artistic Needlework, Embroidery, Painting, Home Decoration, Etc. “Profusely illustrated”, according to the title page. I’ve never owned this particular […]
