Crafty 1930's Patterns

Hello!

Did you know you can search crochet patterns and images at the national library archives?
I think the've been updating thier online archives and there are searchable vintage Australian Women's weekly crafty tips and patterns. They go way back to the 1930's and have ideas for d'oyleys (as they spell it!) patterns for crocheted puff sleeve jumpers and other very lovely retro crafty things things.

Please let me know if you find something really marvelous in your searching travels!
