| Flea markets! Around here every flea market has at least one booth with boxes of them. If you live in a area where flea markets abound you should have a look. Nancy |

| I agree Flea Markets are a wonderful place to find some of those old hard to find patterns. |
|
| The O & I auction has lots of old charts and magazines. Most of them go for $1.00 Look for 4dogs-- she has many, many of the old charts for sale. |
|
| If flea markets are unavailable to you, I've found Ebay to be a good source. There are other online locations, but if it's a popular designer, they regularly show up there. |
|
| Two sites I found that have old patterns are listed below. http://www.oldstitch.com/ http://www.adamsusedbooks.net/ The old stitch site has a search function but adams books you have to actually go through each page. Old stitch also has some specials. I also use ebay to check for old patterns. |
