Hi!
I've just purchased two very old knitting books, in excellent
condition!

Mary Thomas's Knitting Book
September 1938
Hodder and Stoughton

Mary Thomas's Book of Knitting Patterns
July 1943
Hodder and Stoughton

I'm really excited, because the pattern book has so many patterns
I've
NEVER seen before, and the knitting book has 'tips' I've either
forgotten
about or am just learning new!

Oooooh! I'm green with envy! Where did you get them? I love old
patterns - just missed landing one from 1918 on ebay about a week
ago - some of the thirties and forties patterns are so stylish. If
you do make up anything, be sure to remember that things were a much
closer fit then. Enjoy your books!
