I couldn't resist having another flick through the many many vintage crochet patterns that have appeared in a local charity shop - somebody must have been a really prolific crocheter in the late 1960s / early 1970s. I was somewhat more restrained this time and only came away with half-a-dozen.
A crochet swimming cossie and beach cover up (oddly enough, these sorts of crochet patterns seem to be good sellers on ebay at the moment) and a crochet bolero, wrap skirt and pants pattern (modelled, I'm pretty sure, by the model who is now Michael Caine's wife.) And I love the mini dress pattern with matching crocheted headscarf.
Another crocheted swimwear set, a rather nice crocheted lace collars and cuffs set, and a crochet suit modelled by the ever-youthful Twiggy. The patterns were only 20p each this time and are all destined for ebay sooner or later.
At this morning's 'Coffee and Jumble' I couldn't resist this little garden / beach boule set. The balls are painted wood with a nice weight and I thought for 50p this might make a good game for entertaining my nephew with when he is visiting.
