      If in doubt, get a ball of Aran weight wool, cast on 50 stitches, and knit until you can wrap it around yourself. You'll probably want about 300g of 3 100g balls of wool.

    Would the lace have been all handmade at this time, or would they have began using machines?

    • @zoes_story
      @zoes_story 2 дня назад

      By the 1890s, machine made lace was very popular. This lace is definitely machine lace made on a flat bolt, which is why I'd place it at the tail end of the 19th century. The Barmen lace machine was introduced in the 1890s, which could copy hand lace styles like Torchon and simpler hand bobin lace. It's one of the reasons you see an *explosion* of lace in late Victorian and early edwardian fashion. Machine lace goes back a lot farther than you might expect, however. The first lace making machine was invented by John Heathcoat in 1808, called the bobinett machine. In 1846, John Livesey adapted Heathcoat's machine to make lace curtains. Handmade lace was still the most fashionable because of the man hours it took to create it. It's why it's still one of the best ways to guage the original cost of clothing and the societal class the original owner belonged to.

      Oh absolutely. I have a long pair I love, but I think they must be laqered with something because they knit as smooth as plastic needles, although not as good as metal ones. All other bamboo ones can go be kindling on the wood burner for all I care. Drated instruments!

    Source is Mrs. Leach’s Fancy Work Basket, Vol. 1, from 1886 or 1888 (I’ve seen both and the digitised copy on the Internet Archive doesn’t have a year on the copyright page). A Ravelry page attributed to a Clara Leach is the first thing that comes up on Google when you search the name of the pattern : ’new way of making the emigrants vest, or hug me tight’.

    I don’t have a Polly. I have a three year old grandson permanently attached to my left hip. Unfortunately, today’s adventure consisted of him falling asleep next to me while I crocheted. It was a lovely moment…until he woke up and I discovered he’d peed himself. After three sippy cups of juice. I was wet from hip to ankle and had to go shower and change my clothes. Polly seems quite reasonable in comparison

      @zoes_story You're welcome! My tip is, from personal experience, I always downsize the socks and take the yarn thickness into account. Instead of following the pattern needle size, I use the needle size on the yarn description and if the needle recommended for the yarn is larger than the pattern needles I always downsize and it has worked for me so far. Hope you'll create some lovely socks in the correct size in the future! I also recommend magic loop if you haven't tried it. Happy knitting 😊

      You could do the fold over hem technique. There should be plenty of tutorials on RUclips or there's one that came with the handbook, then do half the rows of a fold over hat. Fair warning though a single layer of DK wool can look a bit gappy as the guage can be loose.
