One of the things I like about vintage crochet patterns photographed in black and white is trying to work out what colour combinations would look good today.  After all, all that it takes to modernise a pattern is an update of yarn type and colour.  The stitch patterns are as lovely now as they were then.

Very pretty details!  Now, do I make this for Clare or for Stella?  And in what colours?  Decisions, decisons!
