This find combines my two loves (besides the hubby and kids, of course). It's a knitting booklet, "The Lady's Book of Knitting and Crochet", and it was published in Boston in 1883. I bought it in an antique shop about a month ago, for only $10.
There are about 120 patterns, 108 pages, divided almost equally between knitting and crochet. I'd love to make some of them, but there are two problems - the terminology in the instructions is worded differently from our patterns today, and there are NO PICTURES!
