Flickr is a good thing if your an image pack rat like me. If you haven’t noticed on the right column on this blog I have a flickr photo stream of vintage knitting images. Flickr is great in that you don’t have to clutter your hard drive up with images that are hard to find or search for when you want to come back to them. Flickr accounts are free unless you want to store 1000+ images or create a mountain of sets like myself. Then it’s only $25 a year!

Since I’ve had suggestions of starting a vintage knit-along, (and that I’m flickr obsessed) I got to thinking. For now why not just post any items knit from vintage patterns on flickr! I made a group for it so everyone join in and post. Flickr is so lovely that you can comment to your hearts content about your knit item. Post pictures of works in progress, finished projects & patterns you want to knit.

Now, I’m reserving pictures of antique and vintage knitters for another group started by someone else. I’ve been pooling all my images there too, so take a look. The collection consists of illustrated postcards, images of stars knitting, photos of regular ladies and men knitting and more. It leaves you to be inspired when you see people like Audrey Hepburn, Marlene Deitrich, Betty Davis, Rita Hayworth along side normal vintage ladies (and gents too!) knitting just like you or I.
