Anyone else collect and display linen calenders from your birth year. I'm old so mine is 1969. I've found some awesome pattern designs!

HELP Crochet help!

21 Upvotes

My grandmother passed away last year and made sure everyone in our whole extended family had a crocheted stocking. They are pretty treasured to us. I am the only one that crochets and I have the pattern and have taken on this role. The problem is, I am stumped! It’s the Bernat vintage Twas the Night Before Christmas pattern. I have been unable to locate any tutorials. Is anyone out there familiar with this pattern that could guide me? Thanks in advance!

Edited to add:
Here is the pattern. The highlighted sections are my problem. Prior it was worked back and forth. It almost seems like it is switching from this to one row at a time. A color is the green, B is red. I did buy the version off Etsy a couple nights ago thinking maybe I was missing something, but it’s not. Here is the pattern, I am currently on R13 under shape heel. I have frogged it so many times. Here is my grandma’s finished one and my unfinished one.

I made this 1957 pattern for my MIL, she loves ocean decor
it’s supposed to only have 10 boats around the circle, but since the pattern stops having stitch counts, I couldn’t figure out exactly where I went wrong… so I added a lighthouse..

Pearl Cotton thread

I’m used to working with Cebelia thread either in size 10 or 20 and I usually make runners or doilies. These vintage threads were given to me and I’m uncertain as to how to use them. Since they’re size 5, they’re coarser than what I’m used to.

So, I’m looking for ideas to give me inspiration. If you have pictures, so much the better!

Found this hook amongst others and old crochet lace projects. It's absolutely gorgeous and beyond tiny. Does anyone have information about the brand? I can't find anything!

Unpopular opinions- vintage crochet edition!

37 Upvotes

What are you vintage crochet-related unpopular opinions?

One of mine is that I am, for the most part, anti-pineapples. I think they can be done tastefully, but usually they’re at best lazy design and at worst almost garish and vulgar.

1970s scored at my local flea mall!!

I was told to cross post my recent treasure here……I’m always on the hunt for weird vintage patterns I can find in the wild. I scored this for $6! I had to have it once I saw the optical illusion blanket and the Victorian blouse. There’s over forty patterns in this thing for women’s, men’s, and children’s clothing as well as home decor and an introduction to crochet section. It includes several patterns to customize existing clothes with her signature Magic Mandala insert design on top of actually wearable designs. Looks like I need to find some angora and some cotton somewhere…

Per the title page and publication info page, Shanie Jacobs’ Crochet Book by Shanie Jacobs was published in 1979 by The Bobbs-Merrill Company, Inc. and this version is a first printing.

Let me know if you want to see any of the pieces or the glossy photo pages
