Default Antique finds! *knitting books*

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!

Had to share,
Hugs,
Noreen

Wow! Good job! Have you eye-ed any potential projects yet? Can you
scan some pictures? I love looking at designs from that era.

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!

Cool! I've seen paperback reprints of the first one, but not the second. Of
course I might just have missed it.

Hi Helen!
My copies are the original hardcovers! They are in REALLY great
condition too... I got them at an Antique store here in central TN... and
paid only $5.00 apiece for them.
Hugs,

Yes, I figured they must be, judging by the dates you gave. Which makes
them that much better than the paperback reprints, of course. Guess I
didn't put it well.
