Aww, that's so sweet! 🙏💗 That's so kind of you, thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed joining me on my travels, there's plenty more coming up! Have a lovely day 😊
Hello! So I am 68 years old (young at heart). Begining in the early 70's I began collecting crochet and craft patterns from magazines. I cut them out and stapled together. I continued this for a long time! I still have them but haven't actually seen them for many years as they are in storage. I will have to get rid of them but don't want to throw them away!!! I can read the older patterns. Thank you for sharing! I love the books and patterns that you share!❤️
Hi 👋 Thank you for watching! 🙏💗 Oh, I bet you have some truly wonderful patterns stored away! 😃 What a wonderful resource to have! I hope you get to use them one day! 🤞Could you possibly donate them to a local crafting group in your area? That way, they will still get some use, and you won't have to throw them away 🤗💗
I like that calendar box, I think i'm going to start going to thrift stores and salvation army to check for crochet stuff. It breaks my heart when I see the blankets that someone had taken time to crochet ending up in thrift stores.
That calendar is probably one of my favourite finds! 😃 Such a great bargain! I would definitely recommend checking thrift stores for crochet things! You can find some truly amazing stuff out there 😊 Being able to salvage someone else's work and either cherish it for yourself or make a few changes to an item and then re-donate it to send it back out into the universe is just great 😃
My grandma taught me to crochet and I so wish I had any patterns she used! She was born in 1897 and live until 1992 (she was 95) so you can imagine the patterns she probably had. She would love all these great new yarns. :) I'd love to get my hands on those shawl patterns from Villawool! Huge shawls are the best!
Wow, I'll bet your grandma had an amazing collection of patterns! 😃 I also love making shawls. Just watching them grow as you work on them brings me so much joy 😊
The edgingbook , I have several, I use them with 8 ply on blankets, jumper bottoms basically anything, even bags. You can thread beads on to your yarn before starting and decide where to place them in the vintage edging. So many possibilities have fun.
Oh, it's great to hear you can adapt these edging patterns to use them with so many other things ☺️ and I love the idea of crocheting with beads! That sounds like fun! 😃
Omg there is someone out there just like me, l love the old patterns . I hit the ops shops 1st place I check yarn ,hooks ,needles & patterns the smell of old paper . How great are the patterns you found loved them all ,agree with the 🧶 very pricy at op shops I love the mill ends @ spotlight rummage around finding 2 or more bags & I’m a happy human . Thank you for letting me ramble on your comments 🎊 subscribed 🎉
Yay!! You are definitely my kind of people! 🤩 Just love that old paper smell, and some of the vintage patterns are absolutely gorgeous! 😍 I'm a mill end rummager, too! Gotta have a good dig around because you just never know what you might find! 😃 And please, feel free to come here and ramble in these comments anytime you like 💗
Thanks so much, Jenni! I'm glad you enjoyed watching 😊 I'm looking forward to making a few things from the calendar I found. Have you been crocheting for long?
My Grandmother and my mother both tried to teach me when I was little, but I just couldn't get the hang of it. I tried picking it up again in August of last year, and it just sort of clicked finally! 😃
Oh, isn't it just the sweetest thing?! 😍😍 To be honest, it could have been terribly ugly, and I still would have loved it, lol. That adorable little face, aww
Thank you so much for the sub, its much appreciated 🫶💗 Isn't it a lovely store? I just love the old patterns and the smell of the old paper they're printed on. It's so interesting to see the history of our lovely craft 😊
I thought I would google this hall and found that you are only in Ballarat..I think during the next school holidays ( or prior) research some country Op shops to take a drive to and spend some money in..I'm just up the road from you, western subs of Melbourne, so it would be a lovely drive to take one day..and yes, I'm a crocheter and can't help myself with yarn in Op shops...it's where most of my stash (lets keep it real, HOARD) comes from.. there is an American crocheter, her name is Corinna, she has a channel where she crochets vintage patterns from the 1800's through to the 1980's..Just Vintage Crochet.. the granny squares..there's enough to make a rectangular box there..line the inside with some scrap material to help it stand, maybe some mesh between the squares and lining to help it stand... and having only watched one vid I have subscribed..I like to support Aussie TH-camrs, because if I don't you might disappear..often I wait to see if you have grabbed me for more than a few vids before I subscribe..
Hi there 👋 thank you so much for subscribing! It's very much appreciated 🙏 I plan to make more op shopping videos, maybe a few reviews and just some general crochet videos based on projects I'm working on. If you have any suggestions, by all means, let me know ☺️ Ballarat and the surrounding region have some great op shops, lots of little treasures to find! The smaller church based ones are cheaper than the Salvo's or Vinnies, but don't always have the same variety. Still, well worth the trip up here, it's a lovely drive and a great day out ☺️ I believe I have seen a few of Corinna's Just Vintage Crochet videos, and they are great! Some of the patterns she re-creates are quite intricate, aren't they? Love watching to see how they come together ☺️ I never thought of making a box with those granny squares. That's an interesting idea 😊 Thank you for the suggestion!
Hi Mel. Loved the vintage haul. I'm a fool for vintage yarns and patterns. I love that crochet calendar! You're a lucky gal to find that! Show us what you make and don't forget to put a little dot on the pattern when you're finished so you know which ones you have completed. My favorite vintage yarn is "DAZELAIRE ". We're going to one of my favorite thrift stores today! I find some good deals. Sometimes though, you are correct, they just don't understand, those tiny balls aren't worth as much as they seem to think.
Hi Kelly, good luck at your favourite thrift store! I hope you find some wonderful new treasures to cherish 💗 I will definitely share what I make from these patterns with you all, for sure! "Dazelaire' sounds beautiful! What would you usually make with it?
@@MelsYarniverse I usually combine it with a coordinating acrylic yarn and make baby blankets. I prefer the pastel colors. I have bid for this yarn on eBay. I'm not the only one who loves it! The bids can get pretty high, but I'm thrifty and don't usually stay in the bid if the prices are too high.
Thank you Mel..for the lovely comments and advice to look vintage 😊..if you ever come across a circular poncho pattern with the neck opening about 2/3 of the way through the circle.. so that the front is kind of cropped and the back has a long tail... i would really appreciate you putting it on your channel..or sending me the link. Kind regards Jilly 🎉
Allot of the old pattern books are crochet or knit in UK terms, so if you translate to US its easy. I made a effort to learn UK technique through vintage hoe to crochet/knit books. Theyre actually quite simplistic recipes compared to todays patterns that usually cover more detail. After a while one appreciates the simplistic and old terminology's and yes I love the old patterns and collect/archive them also/with backing up to digital to archive... From Ballarat Oz :)
Oh, so nice to hear from another local! 😀 Yes, I think I might have to spend some time translating soon. The older patterns do seem to be more simplistic - there doesn't seem to be as many instructions with them - and I was a bit concerned that maybe that might lead to a bit of confusion - do you have any troubles at all?
@@MelsYarniverse I have no trouble at all :) If you struggle with anything just hit me up and Ill help. Knitting originally came about from the Northern hem. and is essentially a Nordic tradition of origin with a celtic branch off inc recent Irish Lace, then leading to UK terminology today... Then the US branch off... But yeah just holler if you get stuck. A good series of books on techniques/colorwork is 'Knit Like a Latvian' books (she has three out) and any old Norwegian Knitting books. Garn (now called yarn) crafting/knitting used to be part of the Norwegian curriculum and simple recipes were assumed that everyone could knit due to the curriculum and or family Nordic traditions.
Thank you so much for that! What an amazing history this beautifully creative hobby we enjoy has! 😲 I will definitely track down the books you recommended - thanks again!
@@MelsYarniverse I have them in digital, but they are coming today in hardcopy :) Will upload flip throughs of them throughout the week. The best deal with them I could find was Amazon. Will add a link to where I purchased them online with an Amazon store when I upload. Was going to get them from booktopia but Amazon saved me at least 40 bucks with all 3 :) x Raven
Both my mother and my grandmother were incredibly talented knitters and would knit beautiful, intricate patterns. When it came to crochet or "french knitting" as they called it, they only knew the basics. I hated knitting, it hurt my fingers, but I had no one to teach me how to read and do crochet patterns. My mum had a friend who could crochet doilies and I begged her to teach me, but she didn't want to. Trying to do anything complicated these days is too hard because of my eyesight. I wish we had youtube tutorials around 30 years ago! I would have loved to learn fancy crochet. These days I'm just focusing on what I can manage, like scarfs, bags, blankets and I'm attempting a poncho!
Hi Angela I have crocheted my whole life and to d u tube great now that I am 75 years young.if I'd known you years ago I would have taught you.keep crocheting .I now do it for charity.💝💝
Oh Angela, I'm so sorry you weren't able to learn like you wanted to. I'm so glad you picked it up again and are able to create with crochet, even though it's not the fancy kind that you hoped for. I'm sure your work is still absolutely beautiful. My Mum and grandmother were both amazing knitters too, and between them both, they were able to teach me the very basics of knitting, but that's about it. I couldn't quite get the hang of crochet though, no matter how hard I tried. I came back to crochet last year and had another try, and it finally just sort of clicked. That was mainly because of youtube tutorials and being able to see what to do with the hook. I tried teaching myself with books but just couldn't work it out, so youtube helped significantly. I hope to be able to help others in the same way if I can. Thank you for sharing your story with me 😊
Hi Deborah, what a lovely offer. I'm so glad to hear that at 75 years young, you're still enjoying crochet. Such a wonderfully peaceful and creative hobby we are all a part of 😊
@MelsYarniverse oh I tried learning with books as well, but just like you, I could never figure it out! I ended up learning how to sew instead, and it was something I had an aptitude for and I ended up doing a degree in costume at the Adelaide College for the Arts. If I had someone to teach me fancy crochet, maybe I would have never taken up sewing! I had to give up work just a couple of years ago due to chronic pain and my eyesight, both are caused by auto immune disease (I have chronic uveitis).
@angelawossname A degree in costume, wow, that's fantastic! So it was almost a blessing in disguise that you didn't learn to crochet after all. Seems you had a different destiny. What an amazing story! I'm sorry to hear about the uveitis. It must be a hard condition to live with. I hope you are able to continue being creative for many years to come 💗
You can do anything once you know knit and purl stitch, just follow the pattern.Unfortunately you stop yourself by saying I am not good enough. I say yes you are it just takes more concentration. I know you can do it. Love watching all your op shop buying
Hi Lynette 👋 Thank you so much for that lovely kind comment 🙏💗You are absolutely right, and I just need to be more courageous to try new things! Thank you for the reminder I needed to get stuck in and give it a go! 💯💗🧶
@melodyforbes5361 oh wow! 😲 Isn't that amazing?! What a bargain! Oh, that's great! I've never tried latch hook before, but it looks so interesting. Is it a hard skill to learn?
I have or had some vintage pattern magazines on crochet and knitting and I think my oldest daughter discarded them!!!😡😡😡😡 that colorful granny square check Joann’s or o line for something similar but maybe not bc the one I’m talking about may look a bit different it’s by big twist. Color is multi soft rainbow it’s 85% cotton and 15% polyester. Looks similar!! Tfs in one of the magazines I had there was a GORGEOUS COLORFUL BUTTERFLY BLANKET FOR A SINGLE SIZED BED!! I’m so mad at her😡😡😡😡
We would also love to just sit and crochet..chatting with you ❤️ Kate has a channel..The Last Homely House East of the Sea..she crafts and chats..and it feels like shes chatting with you..which you could do awesumely too ❤
She lives in RIVENDELL?!! OMG! 😲 I'm so jealous! 😍 I just looked Kate up then, and she seems lovely 😊 what a wonderful life she has! I love her channel, it's so warm and inviting. Thank you for the recommendation 😊 Yes, I would love to spend some time crocheting and chatting with you all 🤗💗 I just need to figure out how to set it up on my end, and then that's what we'll do! 😊🧶
Omgosh..ive binge watched your Vids Mel 😁..just love listening to you..youre so down to Earth ..and enjoying the trips to the op shops..thank you 😊🙏
Aww, that's so sweet! 🙏💗 That's so kind of you, thank you!

Just vintage crochet is an awesome channel that solely focuses on old crochet patterns 😄
It's a great channel, I've seen a few videos, and I just love watching the projects come together 😊
@MelsYarniverse me too, it's amazing how she can figure it out!
Tissue box cover for the little squares
Oh, great idea! 👍 😃
I think you might like the channel Just Vintage. Corrina is the host and she crochets up vintage patterns in real time.
I have actually seen a few of Corinna's videos! I really enjoy watching her projects come together, they are wonderful 😊😍
Hi and thank for the chatter. I reckon you could do an edging around a collar of a shirt you find in one of your op shop trips😊
Hi Sarah 👋 That's a fantastic idea! I'll have to keep my eye out for one, I think 🤗💗
The little dog jumper is my favorite! I’m a sucker for an adorable puppy photo in general 🤣
