Take a walk with WonkyZebra, through Vintage Pattern Land.
For a long time WonkyZebra bought patterns and made stuff, and bought patterns and didn't make stuff sometimes...
There is only so much stuff one person can make or want to make, but all those patterns are still sitting there ready to be turned into something unique and lovely. So a couple of years ago WonkyZebra decided to open his little shop, to spread the patterns around a bit.
Although a small fee is involved, he likes to think of it as sharing too because all WonkyZebra pattern sales come with freebies and extras to help you enjoy the patterns.
WonkyZebra is always available for advice about the patterns.
( sometimes I help him when his hooves get in the way..! )
So... he hopes you will find something you like in the shop. just ask if you are looking for something in particular - it may be here, and do look in "sold" items and on the blog and website for more patterns .

WonkyZebra hopes you will be able to buy with confidence and that this may answer most of your questions before purchase.
With each sale conversion information regarding vintage and current terms is included. Also a set of personal notes and images of vintage yarns are included to help identify modern substitutes.
WonkyZebra sells emailed high quality PDF first generation scans of original patterns currently held in a lifetime collection; some patterns are restored, some patterns are reformatted completely to present them for better ease of use.
Everything sold in the shop has been read, or even made, and all the patterns are supported with guidance if required.
This is offered freely, to genuine buyers who need help to realize the lovely old patterns into beautiful wearable garments.Please be aware that vintage patterns are often written in styles unlike modern patterns, and will require a good read through before use.
Where I think really necessary, I have annotated the PDF, as someone new to crocheting or knitting may find them confusing. This is why I am always happy to answer queries. Please ask if you have seen patterns and can no longer find them - they can always be relisted for you.
Extra patterns are often sent in these emails as the whole point of starting WonkyZebra was to make these old patterns more widely available.
WonkyZebra would like to do this for free, but sadly even zebras have bills to pay, so the price covers costs, with a very small margin; sometimes we do things for love as well as money.
