Like crack for me

Reading through old patterns and learning about the "old" techniques of crocheting, knitting, beading, tatting, etc. has been like "crack" for me lately. It all started with a search for a beaded purse pattern after I realized that the purse pattern I had from Purse Paradise was loaned out years ago (and subsequently lost in the "settlement"). I found a pattern on etsy from Patterns ala Carte which introduced me the Hiawatha books. I searched eBay for the Hiawatha book and found many, many more old pattern books that I ordered on CD from Toad Hollow. It's become an addiction really.

And then. I found. This: http://www.antiquepatternlibrary.org/

I'm quite sure this fix will last me years.
