Hi Seji, my mum crocheted bikinis for me, my cousins and other related girls and teenagers in the 1970s. The bikinis were crocheted in cotton, with an elastic around the waist of the pants. I will try to DM you a picture of the Patons pattern through Instagram, that she used. Thankfully, they were not made out of Badwol…salt water and wool and heat…no…

Heya!! I just saw your message on Instagram! :) That's so awesome! I took my first crocheted bikini top out for swimming a couple of days ago and the experience was -- mixed haha. I used 100% cotton though, so I don't even want to think how badwol would be lol!!

Oh! You know she mad when she pulls out the the Victorian slang for petty thiefs 😂 The minute you started talking about limited pdfs 👏👏👏 How can a digital file be limited??? And why do I need to get a pop up EVERY time I open a new page on etsy about how this pdf pattern I liked is 'selling out quickly' and I need to buy it right now??? Etsy is forever getting on my nerves. It's so silly to create artifical scarcity over a PDF of all things. And you're so right to be mad about the copyright nonsense. Also no! The store you were talking about was a scam? People really use the rareness of vintage and antique patterns to scam left right and left. I'm so sorry Seji!

Thanks so much!! And I know right?!! It's so frustrating. I feel like if at the very least they would do some effort to properly format the patterns, add necessary details (such a the yarn weight and fiber content of the discontinued yarn etc), maybe rewrite it for modern knitters, I would actually love to buy them :/ Allas, doesn't seem like any of that is going to happen soon with the way Etsy is running its platform.

Regarding the badwol topic, I would search Lanolized wool, wool with lanolin in it, how to lanolize wool. Lanolin is the 'technology" you are referring to. I loved your excitement towards it! It is such a great resource indeed, used for skin ailments as well as making wool water repellent. Just have to make sure you don't have any sensitivity to it but it's pretty accessible everywhere 🌷

Okay, the price-raising is scummy, but I wonder if the limited pdfs idea originated from wanting to schedule in time to offer pattern support or tech troubleshooting or whatever. I have a friend who tried to sell vectors of marine animals and stuff on etsy but didn't get many sales so he didn't check often, and then one person came by months later, had trouble using it on their cricut, and now he's got a 1 star review as his only review so nobody is ever gonna buy from that shop. Eithet that or the way etsy takes fees out of listings every month they're up, which I've heard get worse by the day. Edit: Okay, I was definitely wrong about the shops you're talking about here lol. But etsy is *also* getting worse for actual legitimate sellers. It's bad for good actors on both sides. Textbook enshittification.

Yeaah I feel you! I Etsy just needs a lot more regulation - in the end they remain the winner while sellers and buyers alike are getting screwed over in a multitude of ways :/

There’s a bookshop near where I live in Yorkshire that specialises in vintage pattern books. I’m pretty sure I saw a Margriet knitting book from the 1940s last time I was there. If there’s anything specific you want me to look out for, let me know and I will do some scouting on your behalf 💕

ooh dirt cake! [shakes fist] my term for this is a “peecake”. sometimes “mashed peecake.” it’s not a common term, but i use it when i get frustrated that people just HAVE do things like this. metaphorically to pee on the cakes. and then mash them. before handing them to you. why do people feel the need to do this? this is also a big peeve of mine. i found it funny and felt a sense of camaraderie from how close “dirt cake” is to “pee cake” like, see! Seji gets it! 😂
