Can't say I'll be knitting any of these sweaters soon, but it was fun to loook through these old patterns.
I do appreciate the fact that modern patterns give a LOT more information. These are missing gauge, changes for other sizes, information on measurements... Yes, I could knit from it if I wanted, but having spent a lot of time both adjusting patterns up or down from the sizes given and/or for yarns that give a different gauge, I really prefer it when someone else has done the maths for me.
