Thanks for this video and the historical information. I am a grandmotherly crocheter who, around the age of 8, became obessed with re-creating the doily on my grandma's end table. 65+ years later I'm still going at it. I enjoy studying history through women and their needlework.
I'm from the UK. England to be exact and I do not understand UK crochet terms I learned how to crochet using US terms ❤ so much easier and I love watching your vintage videos you are brilliant love from UK 😁😁
I agree, I’m Scottish and new to crochet. The US terms are easier to grasp than the U.K. terms.
I work in both, once I realise which style I just work it as it states, but if someone asked me which stitch I was using I would tell them in US terminology, no matter which pattern I’m working on. I am in Liverpool U.K.
You know what's funny? I'm from the US and I was thinking about switching to UK because they make more sense to me. 😂 To each their own, I guess.
Fun fact, and I looked in a dictionary for this: there is no single word for "crochet" in Russian. The phrase they use, literally translated, means "knitting with a hook." There's actually a channel here that uses the term "crochet knitting" (essentially a crochet along), and because of the language factor, the lady doesn't say anything at all, you just watch her work, and a skeleton of a pattern appears in the upper right-hand corner. Your channel is still my favorite, in terms of crochet, don't you worry about that!
Love, love, love ❤️ this history stuff about crochet……!!! Big thx! First German Crochet book was published in 1845 btw….by a Miss Minna Korn, a teacher who established the German names for all stitches which are still in use today.
Stäbchen 🥰
@@hiwakoo Most poetic: „ Luftmasche“..❤️- translates „ air stitch“ for a simple chain…😂
We use "luftmaske" in Norwegian 🌞
And "luftmaska" in Swedish.
Thank you for the history info. Since watching your videos I have made made 1 baby sweater, hat and booties, 2 adult sweaters, 1 pullover blouse and a pull over hoodie sweater with a hat and pocket and a bunch of doilies. I cannot begin to thank you for teaching me. I'm 60 my brother taught me basics as a kid but you have given me confidence to try patterns. Thank you so vey much
Thanks for the info, Corinna, I learned to crochet back in the early 80's because I worked in a home for severely and profoundly disabled children with many 3rd shifts on my schedule. It helped pass the time. My mom taught me the very basics one evening sitting on her living room floor. I taught myself to read charts and patterns because the internet was not a thing then. I get so bewildered at people who say they can't do patterns. You can if you set your mind to it is always how I feel about that and just about anything else in life. I started many years ago picking up vintage patterns because I wanted to expand my skill set and one of the very first things I made using a vintage pattern was a baby set. I kept that little project from a 1950's pattern for years in and when one of my nieces had her first baby premature and we knew she would not live long after birth, I gave it to her for the baby to be buried in. They opted for cremation though she packed that sweater set up with all the other special things they had. I still think it's one of the best things I have ever set my hand at making. Love your channel, if you could only hear me when you are having issues with those mystery patterns you would laugh at me. 🌹🌹
I have that book in front of you at the begining. It was my grandmas. So many pretty doilies in those old "books"
What a fabulous history lesson!! I wondered about the old steel crochet measurements versus today's steel measurements and now you have taught me the difference!! I do have one of those hole cards by which to tell the physical size of a crochet needle. I also have a lot of old crochet books - and they are SUCH fun to look at and attempt to work from.
Bella Coco is a good RUclips channel to learn the difference in US and UK terms. That's how I learned. Thanks Corinna!!! 💘
I didn't know she had a RUclips channel. I am learning to crochet from her book, "You Can Crochet With Bella Coco."
She is the reason (and Mikey from Crochet Crowd) that I taught myself how to crochet 9 years ago.
My first crochet hook was an impulse buy, the video tutorials were very handy 😂
The info was great. After today I am better educated after watching. I remember Beetons. Excellent book.
Another great informative video, I love it when you get into the groove about the history of our craft. I learned to crochet from a book I borrowed from a library in the early 70’s, it was in English terms & I have no problem reading those patterns but US terminology makes much more sense to me. As I said I work in both, so this helps with the older patterns. I am looking forward to the photo frame tutorial, I have some very old photos of late family members & think this would be the way to display them.👏👏❤️❤️🇬🇧
I know both US & UK stitch terms because of my grandmother she was Eastern European , I think everyone should learn them.
2:19 let’s start at the beginning, a very good place to start, when you read you begin with A B C when you sing you begin with Do Ray Me…..😂🧡🧡😊
So nice this video. The first People who crochet . The People in Egypte. Very simple crochet, but they were the first.
I love crocheting old patterns. ( I used to own a copy of that magazine in the video.) Thank you for showing people how to make these lovely old patterns before they're lost. I've been crocheting for almost sixty years and I come from a long line of needleworkers who have passed on the skills to me. Thank you for passing on these patterns and crocheting knowledge for a whole new generation to enjoy. May I suggest using tatting thread ( size 80) with a number 12, 13 or 14 steel hook for crocheting delicate, dainty vintage edgings.
This was really exciting! I admit it was confusing at first, but the second half had me glued to the screen. Seeing your hook collections and learning the Van Dyke stitch iterations left me wanting more. I am a modern crocheter, but do like watching your mystery videos. Thank you!
A wonderful video about vintage (my teen years 🙄) and antique crochet! Great fun and very informative. Thank you! 🦋
I went through NY on a bus 😮 your term made me laugh cause 😱 thanks for the memories 😄 and your love to teach ❣️
I have a lot of copies of "The Modern Priscilla" from the late 1800s I found in a barn in Maine. You are really going to help me with figuring out the crochet patterns.
I love your collection of hooks. 🧶👍Fascinating information!!!
I absolutely love listening to your videos! Your voice is so soothing and you have a great sense of humor 🤗🤗
Thank you so much 😀
I tried using those cotton crochet threads and metal hooks. My goal was to make enough snow flakes (and maybe Christmas stockings) for a 3-foot christmas tree. I tried, but everything was just too small for chubby arthritic fingers. Watching this video has inspired me to try again. (I tried bigger yarn and hook, but it wasnt as elegant.)
Thank you so much for sharing this history!! I feel better educated after this!! ❤
Love all the history….you had done a lot of research. Thank you for that. Love this channel so much. ❤️❤️🌻
Terrific video, Corrina! So helpful. Thanks a lot. ❤
Very interesting crochet history lesson condensed in one video. Looking forward to the crocheted picture frame video.
Loved learning all of this. I love the reference part of learning. Thank you for your videos that are very different from most others that copy each other.
This video is fantastic! Thank-you so much Corinna!
😊 so glad you are using that thread 80 I sent... what a score those 2 boxes were....enjoy
Oh I just love them! im forever grateful!!
@@justvintagecrochet they had your name on them....think I only paid $5 for both boxes.....enjoy and make something beautiful
I'm so gonna save this n rewatch I enjoyed this so much. But I must confess, I missed the Afghan stitch, lol.
What a lot of research you've done! You never stop amazing me! Thank you for all tgechard work.
Thank you so much. Very educational. Have a great day! ❤
I love your videos you explain the history of crochet very well. Please do a detailed video on the thread and yarn-only Victorian to the current US? I am stuck on sizing threads such as 30, 50, and 80.
I agree! I need a resource that I can keep going to that will tell me what the modern yarn is for pearl cotton #3 (for example) Also hook sizes from vintage to modern. Is there anything like a chart that exists like that? Or is it in those books Corrinna showed?
Also I wanted to know how I could send a picture of one of Corrinna’s projects that I did. I don’t see how to communicate with her/you (Corrinna)😊
Im happy too, to the best of my knowledge on it, a lot I still just don't know because there is limited information out there , but Im sure I can put something together that may help
you should be able to type in on google " pearl crochet cotton #3 " and be able to fine a modern brand making it as it's still used today :)
@@justvintagecrochet How can I send you a picture, Corrinna?
You have told us alot on a number of your videos you have done , you always show or explain the terms or materials needed so over time watching your channel I have learned alot !! So Thank You !! And Thank You for this !! Very interesting !! And yes wondering about ms Rosemary ??? Don't see her comment s in a while ?????? Cud you do a thread difference video ??
Very informative!! Your work is very much appreciated!! Thank you!
Fabulous video! You are such a wonderful teacher! ❤❤
Thank you so much!
LLLLLLLoved this! I just went to crochet class. Thank you
Ty! Super helpful! I still have trouble reading patterns etc❤😊👍
High
I did say before you are a good teacher
Very informative video thank you for sharing this information with us.
Thank you. Very informative! 🙏😇
Chiné is pronounced SHE-NAI😉 thanks for that amazing video Corina ❤ I love your work!
In my own mind, because there was no internet or youtube available when I was learning, I defined the difference between U.S. and U.K. terms this way: U.K. focuses on the number of loops on the hook before you pull through. U.S. focuses on the number of TIMES you pull the hook through. The why of the difference still escapes me.
One thing I find interesting, is international crochet symbols (no idea how old this concept is... probably mid-20th century; I first came across it when I got hold of a pattern in Dutch). If the written pattern is in a different language than yours or even a non-Roman script (e.g. Cyrilic, Hang-gul or Kanji) you can still read the pattern because the international symbols present a picture of the piece while telling you how to make it at the same time.
Thank you for all the info.
Corinna, thank you for this fabulous video. I love hearing about things that are vintage and antique. Sorry I haven't been around lately, I have been concentration on my embroidery for a couple of months. I have been popping in from time to time to see what you are up to and how you are. Take good care of yourself and keep up the good work. You are opening the door to the past and teaching us so much. I know that I am learning things I probably wouldn't have learned if it were not for you. Looking forward to seeing your next video.
OOOOH THANKYOU for this and bringing out the books 😂 i read the question on your “messy video😊” about why back loop only GIRLFRIEND I SO LOVE YOU YOUR WORK AND YOU KNOWLEDGE again THANKYOU ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for this video!
Thank you for the history lesson!!❤❤
Very nice, informative history! You go, girl! ❤🙂
Thank you! 😃
I know how to make a double foundation chain. It is kind of like making the long double.
Loved this video,thanxxxxx
I've got this book ! Never used the crochet bit though. The embroidery part is good and very useful.
Please make another follow up video. So much for us to pick up.
Awesome & very interesting! Great job on an unscripted video! Thanks so much for the info and taking the time to share it all.
That was a very informative and interesting video. I feel a bit embarrassed that I didn't know crochet meant 'hook' in French!
I love this! Thank you!!! I’m just this week trying my first pattern. It’s been going great! Until row 27😬 I’m stuck. Any chance you’d give a quick tutorial on following even a modern day pattern? 😬❤️
What does it say? - row 27
Baleen was used for “boning” in corsets so it would make sense that hooks would be carved from it too.
I am an inline hook fan as well. They work best for me.
I so want an old copy of Mrs Beeton's needlework book. Haven't been able to find an acceptable copy!
I bought one on Amazon a couple of weeks ago, used but in perfect condition you could hardly see any use, for less than £5, the same seller had several copies.
I recently ran across Jack Frost brand purse patterns from 1940s calling for Cordette, soutache or gimp. It seems that the closest easily found substitutes for these are 2mm cording in cotton (macrame), nylon, polypropylene or polyester. I am open to other suggestions though! Hope this helps someone
I have a couple Jack Frost books too. Try nylon cord, also, in my books, the soutache and gimp use the same hook and get same gauge as worsted, but 1940s worsted was slightly smaller than today's (not quite #3 weight but what some refer to as light worsted).
Loved this episodes!💜💜. Besides the books you showed, can you recommend any other? Any pdf books besides what you showed? One last question, I might be getting a copy of a book I already have and was wondering if I can send you the other copy? It is a book from the early 1900’s and it has a lot of cultural significance to Malta (heredity lol). Please let me know. Thank you💜💜
Hola hay alguna forma de obtener el listado de los términos del Crochet us y uk para así fuese más fácil cuando hago los patrones que te he comprado, gracias
Do you have suggestions for cleaning steel hooks? I have some of my ancestors, going to size 15. Some of them are basically black.
This is so cool! Thanks for the history! Also, the 1879 pattern you held up to screenshot? I was not able to find what 8 thread chine wool is? Or even what chine wool is. I'm guessing it's at least a DK weight?
I would say that a fair guess, I too have a very hard time trying to figure out what yarn and thread they want as they nearly never include a hook size either ( which would help) , but based on the fact that its a carriage bag, I think a DK is a very good guess
@justvintagecrochet yes! That's what I was thinking too! I did look at some photos of what came up on Google as carriage bags. I don't think it matters too much really. It's one of those things where you can pick! 😂
Do you read even if you don’t you should look for and read the book the secret stitch by Jane Reid I loved it.
Thanks but i m french and when the traduction tells me it’s with the wrong stich it’s very hard. So thanks to make exemple
I can't believe you'd just assume I'm alive now 💀🤣
Thanks Corrina :) I was wondering about the size 3 thread you showed. Do you think that is about the size of a 1 weight?
yes!
#3 is also the same as two strands of #10, if you're comfortable using two strands as one.
@@justvintagecrochet thanks
Can we go back to a purl chain stitch?? What the what is that?
Wow 80 thread for your photo frame.
Chiné wool is pronounced ‘shinnay’ I think 😊
I find the UK terms to be quite unintuitive, I think it's much more accurate to name based on pulling through than by loop number.
If something is plain, basic crochet, why is it a double? It should be single.
I think they based it on knitting, as one loop on your needle is 1 stitch , Im sure it made sense to them back then, but I agree US terms are easier for me to grasp , and I also respect the origins of it all at the same time :)
You mentioned that crochet is French for hook so calling it a “crochet hook” is the same as saying “hook hook.” This reminds me of La Brea. La brea is Spanish for “the tar.” Thus saying “the La Brea tar pits” is the same as saying “the the tar tar pits”
Or...we just love watshing you...
In French, Tricot means knitting with needles only. We say Crochet for crochet with a hook, never tricot.
Yes, I have been told this :) , but we are talking about UK Victorian Era terms which its why I included it in this video, because regardless of today's terms, UK pattern writers and French pattern writers in the 1800s did use the term Tricot Crochet ( Hook Knitting) in patterns and if someone has a pattern that says " Tricot Crochet" it's helpful that they know what that means when working an 1800s pattern, I have checked french pattern books and even they used "tricot crochet" and Tunisian crochet ( in the 1800s) .
I think a lot of people make the mistake of equating what they know today in modern terms with these antique , nearly 200 year old terms ( if not actually older) , and that's where the confusion come in
I want to assure yu that everything I spoke on and speak on can be verified , I make sure before I put it out there , Thanks so much for your feedback !
I understood that crochet originated by fishermen mending their fishing nets.
I think that’s part of it. If you’re interested in learning more history or information try searching nalbinding, crochet in china, filet embroidery, Eléonore Riego de la Branchardière, and Irish crochet. Also try antique pattern library. I feel like you go through various rabbit holes and they’re all interconnected
Nope if you can drive in Rome you can drive anywhere 😅😅
