I got 12 Patons booklets from one seller, who apparently has had to give up knitting.
Amongst them were jumpers, stockings, socks, gloves and more! Bit hard to see in the photos but the stockings have a faux seam down the back, and a diamond trellis down the front.
Hmmm, says Patons girl, which ones shall I wear today?
Can't wait to get stuck into them - come on gift-knitting, hurry up and get finished!

Score!
Gee I missed that one; vintage knitting patterns is one of my saved searches, glad you scooped it up,
looks fabulous.
I'm finding translating into modern sizing a wee challenge tho.
Have you seen the Vintage KAL?
I have! Next year will be all about me, in the knitting department, so hopefully Vintage KAL will still be going. I did stumble across article about translating Vintage patterns (ie bullet bra and waist-cinching girdle) into a more modern shape, but didn't bookmark it! Anyone know of it's whereabouts???
Found the article - its in the latest Knitty
Those socks sound fantastic.
Here's to 2006 knitting!
