On the one hand, I can read these patterns without too much difficulty because my first patterns were from old Workbaskets, Anne Orr books, and the like. On the other hand, modern notation is so much easier, and I've gotten so used to it! I rarely tat vintage patterns anymore for that reason, and when I do, I usually re-write them in modern notation first.<br /><br />Gina, I must have come to your blog after you stopped doing that, but what a fun idea! That would definitely get people to practice reading the old-fashioned notation style.Mirandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07966487848401662776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2004958397294074498.post-57475732154776814762010-10-08T21:08:12.685-06:002010-10-08T21:08:12.685-06:00This magazine is the source of many of my vintage ...This magazine is the source of many of my vintage interpretations. I have about 40 issues. Check out "mystery motif" in my blog search box. I don't know how long you've been reading my blog but for nearly a year, I posted the original pattern, no photo, and invited readers to tat them. Then I showed the photo and offered a modern notation. I have several yet to work on and I want to start diagramming them too as so many tatters don't know how to read a pattern. It's a shame to let these go unused!Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17127914310809216760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2004958397294074498.post-57863711365499961532010-10-08T21:06:07.187-06:002010-10-08T21:06:07.187-06:00If I had to read this type of instruction, I think...If I had to read this type of instruction, I think I would still be crocheting, not tatting! I just do not relate!<br /><br />The old magazines are a treat to look at though. Like the Priscillas, but yours have that added personal factor. Nice.<br />Fox : )Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12889386206601730189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2004958397294074498.post-15110807262706239542010-10-08T20:47:52.689-06:002010-10-08T20:47:52.689-06:00Very interesting history.
