Following on from my haul of vintage crochet patterns a little while ago and, after having totted up how much they've sold for on ebay, I had another close inspection of the piles of knitting and crochet patterns in the local charity shop. Amongst the ones I found this time are:
A mum and daughter trouser suit pattern which somehow reminds me of the outfits they used to wear in 'Space 1999.'
More mum and daughter mini dress patterns. Those white socks on the young teenager really bring back memories of wearing socks just like that. Come to think of it, I believe I had a pair of shoes rather like her's too.
Girls jumpsuit pattern - oddly described as a 'kitten suit' on the leaflet.
And a couple of Nordic-style knitting patterns which caught my eye - probably after my Nordic-knitwear fest in the Reykjavik Charity Shop in June.
Love those old patterns especially Pingouin. They used to do a great range of baby wear which was always tad more chic than the rest. was is a French comnpany?
I came across a few old patterns in an op-shop recently, items modelled by Marion Ryan and Michael Halliday. I'll bet you don't remember them!

I love looking at the pics from old knitting patterns/books. The mother and daughter trouser suits are magnificent!
