Hi;
I am new to this group and would like introduce myself. I am the married
mother of 2 children, ages 7 and 8 and we live in Northern Ontario, Canada,
in a small town with one nice yarn shop. People travel up to 100 miles to
buy their yarn at this shop. I have been knitting and crocheting since I
was 8 years old, although I will admit I prefer sewing - faster
gratification that way. I am way to slow at crocheting and my tension is
not very good at knitting, although I do enjoy both. My mother is an avid
knitter and has beautiful tension, which she did not see fit to pass on to
yours truly.
My question is this. My mother has several knitting books that were passed
down to her by her mother, long since deceased. One book in particular,
which I do not have the information on me at the moment, has several pages
missing. It is an old Jack Frost baby yarn pattern book. They show the
pictures of the layettes scattered through the book and you have to search
for the patterns according to number. I was wondering if anyone here knows
where I would be able to find the patterns for my missing layettes. I have
done a Goggle search, but have not been able to find my missing patterns. I
searched at eBay as well, but nothing from that quarter. Any help would be
greatly appreciated.
Linda

Hi Linda
Can't help you with the patterns, unfortunately, but I wanted to say
'hi' and welcome you to the group.
Several years ago before having my children my DH and I lived up north
in Ontario, north of Thunder Bay, east of Winnipeg.
I'm sure some of the very experienced and knowledgable people here will
point you in the right direction!

Hiya, Linda,
I can't help with the patterns either, but it's a very good chance that
someone here will be able to.
Just wanted to welcome you to the group!
Eve :o)

Hi, you didn't really give any info on the exact book you have that
identifies it from any of their other books. Maybe this search page will
help you:
