Old crochet patterns were written by the literal devil. No one has any idea whats happening and im scared. The one I'm currently working on is from 1971 and it can not possibly be this big but ive triple checked and i guess women from the 70's had crochet super powers

I finished embroidering my sweater!!! The red ink around the dancing donkey may never fade, but I still think it's a cute little sweatshirt now. 😍🥰😍
Just about to hit post and looking at the picture it seems I've forgotten to fill in the hoof by the guitar. The back is already covered with a fleece fabric. At least its a small area! 😅

The copyright rant; re: crochet patterns
A reminder that taking an out of print pattern and scanning it or re-typing it and making it available for money or not does NOT give you any copyright over the pattern.
I see this a lot when I'm digging up vintage patterns on etsy and other sites. People who say, "I scanned it/retyped it, so I own the copyright."
First of all, no, you don't. That's not how that works. I pay for the patterns you offer because 1) I want them and 2) I think it's fair to pay you for digitizing the pattern.
In the US, crochet patterns are copyrighted by whoever first wrote them. I assume that if one writes a pattern for a company (Patons, Red Heart, etc.), then it's a work for hire situation much like comics. The pattern writer gets a one-time payment, and the company gets the profits from the pattern itself. That's just a guess to explain how it works. I assume that if there is copyright fuckery, the yarn company takes care of the legal shit, not the pattern writer that was hired by the yarn company.
This is important because a LOT of vintage patterns you can find for sale on etsy and ebay and other places aren't actually out of copyright (something around 70 years minimum in US law). They're out of print. So, technically, the yarn company could spend time tracking down the illegal reproduction and sale of their copyrighted material if they really wanted to make a fuss about things.
They don't do that because it's a waste of their time. Those of us tracking down vintage patterns and buying them from third-party sellers aren't hitting their bottom line. Because those patterns are no longer part of their bottom line. They're out of print.
But they ARE still under copyright for the most part in the US because they haven't met the age requirement to not be. And here's the thing: even if they ARE out of copyright in the US, that doesn't mean someone digitizing them puts them back into any sort of copyright.
It's like Pride & Prejudice, okay? You know why there are so many ebooks of P&P? Because it's in public domain and everyone wants to make a buck off of it. But none of them OWN P&P. No one owns P&P. That's what public domain means.
All of that being said, you know what is definitely still under copyright and reported by my ass when I find it on etsy? Patterns from books that are still in print. Not the books themselves, mind. Used book market is used book market. But people who have scanned individual patterns to sell even though the book is still in print.
I also get real fucking salty about people selling patterns that can be bought directly from the company or person who wrote them in the first fucking place.
THAT'S a copyright violation. Not sharing a vintage pattern you paid for because someone digitized it. Not digitizing the pattern itself.
Honestly, I get so tempted to take patterns from people who yell "I have copyright!!!" the most and just roll them out for free because 1) no you don't and 2) fuck you. Yeah, you digitized it. Thank you. But to act like you get the rights to any of it because you did that is bullshit.
Anyway, that's the copyright rant. Tip your servers.

Whew! After all that she is ready and wearable! (Pictured with hat to match).
More info on my experience making it under the cut!
This one was a bit of a tough make as the pattern I used was vintage (from Lady Marlowe) and a lot of the instructions used outdated terminology, which made even looking up more detailed instructions a bit difficult.
But I learned a lot from the pattern, which was really exciting! In particular I'll definitely use plackets and blind hems again on other projects (in fact I have an old skirt I made that I'll probably add a placket to some day).
I have two other vintage patterns from the same source that I'll be trying to make shortly, so stick around for that as well! They're all 30s patterns, as I have mentioned before I think 30s fashions are hugely underrated so I want to document making lots more of them on this blog.
