Collecting without Clutter
Hi, I'm Auti and I compulsively hoard patterns and yarn.
👏OR I USED TO 👏🥳
Getting my compulsive hoarding under control was one of the best things I've ever done- infinite props to my impossibly patient husband for teaching me how!
However its simply illogical and wasteful to throw away *knowledge*, so we were stuck on what to do with my hundreds (thousands?) Of patterns...
Frankly I'll never be able to knit all these patterns and I can't crochet to save my life, so why not offer them to people who will use and appreciate them?
These patterns vary in age from the 1980's and early 90's, so if they are still in circulation, odds are they've been rewritten and updated, but sometimes you just can't beat a classic.
I do have some from I believe as far back as the '50s and '60s, but if I can't prove it, I don't claim it haha.
I offer PDFs so no one else who loves crafting and patterns has to be weighed down with physical clutter, and I offer the physical copies to any magazine and leaflet collectors.
Every pattern is scanned in by myself personally, and I skim for any scribblings, writing, or defacement on the patterns. I then read through each one to ensure you have a whole, complete pattern for your project, because nothing's worse than missing the last step!!
I hope you enjoy and treasure each pattern, and find some precious gem you've been looking for that simply isn't offered in today's "trend-only" craft circle.
As time goes on and my listings increase, you may see more categories, but I try to keep it simple.
I have scanned some patterns that I've kept for myself as "not for sale" for any number of reasons, but if you need it and I have it, you'll never know if you don't ask!
Thank you for shopping, and thank you for keeping yarn crafting alive!!
Auti R.
