I thought I would share the last of the photos that I took of the vintage patterns that my niece, Kylie, gave me.

| Sadly this one didn't have a cover. |
 |
| I love the classic look of some of these items. |
Some of the patterns look lovely and would fit in quite nicely with today's fashion. In one of the books there was even a pattern called Jo-anne. I had to laugh when I read the name. It even had the right spelling too. I have seriously thought of knitting it but for now I am concentrating on crochet. I don't seem to have a lot of patience for knitting at the moment.

| Do new Mums put bootees on their babies these days? |
 |
| I have found a few books like these on ebay. I almost put a bid on them, almost :D |
That baby vest/singlet I finished last week was from one of these books. You can go
here to see what it looked like if you haven't seen it already :)
Time to go do some more crocheting before I need to go out again. I have another appointment with my Diabetes Educator today. I can't wait to show her that app on my phone that allows me to keep track of everything. And of course to show her how good my BGL's are.

I think babies still wear booties... or at least they should.
I don't know how to knit but I do crochet - mostly throw blankets.

What great books! And I know what you mean about not having the patience for knitting. Crocheting ruins you that way! LOL And thanks for reminding me that I have a lot of vintage knitting and crocheting baby books around here too! I'll have to pull them out. Although I have nobody to crochet baby things for right now. I don't sell them in my shop. Too many laws and regulations about selling for 'under 12 year olds'...Have a good visit with the dietician!
Poetess, you are right. Crocheting does spoil you that way :)
We don't have any restrictions for selling children's items, well none that I know of.
I'm about to head off for my appointment. I wonder what I will learn from my visit this time.
How cool I have the 2nd one and am pretty sure I have that yellow one too ?
Mona, most babies I see have socks on or are barefoot. I hope that they still wear bootees though. They look so cute in the especially if they have matching cardigans or jumpers.
Nelly, that is cool :) Some of those patterns look really nice too.
Jo, I was talking about the CPSIA laws that are in effect for those selling children's items on Etsy. They are so intense! {Having to test buttons, and having permanent labels on every single thing!}
Wow Poetess, now I can see why you don't make things for children. It sounds way too complicated.
