I love Workbasket magazine. It is a sad thing that we don’t have anything like it now. If you haven’t seen any of these magazines you are in for a nostalgic treat. They cover plants, recipes, bazaar items, queries for missing patterns, and of course, patterns. I can spend hours looking at them and I never pass up the chance to grab them when I find them at thrift shops or estate sales. I’ve revived many of the old patterns with a good deal of success and a few of the recipes as well. My oldest date back to the 1930s.
So, if you happen to stumble across one or two and have a bit of time on your hands, I highly recommend that you brew some tea and enjoy traveling back in time for an hour or so.
