I just finished watching the 1900s house, and in that series the family (who lives in a Victorian house with Victorian technology for several months) started going stir crazy once they were able to afford a house cleaner and suddenly had much more free time (but they weren’t crafters). I can 100% understand why Victorian houses were covered in crocheted lace simply to give them something to do throughout the day. I feel like I’d fit right in! Lol
I loved that series!! So interesting!! I think I would have fit in as well! 💖
And I’d be your tea drinking neighbor lol
Queen Victoria's granddaughter Alexandra, the last czarina of Russia, was an extremely gifted needlewoman and loved knitting, crocheting and embroidery. She sold her own works for charity. Many pictures show her in her mauve boudoir, with a crochet project in her hand. She taught her daughters, too.
One of the Queen Victoria's daughters founded the Royal School of Needlework which has a fantastic reputation until today.
Loved the video!!!!
Oh wow!!! Thank you so very much for sharing so of that! Was lucky enough to go to the Victoria and Albert museum when we were in London in April and thoroughly enjoyed it! You might like that video as well: ruclips.net/video/WlWxq-MADJQ/видео.html
I lived in Pennsylvania when I was younger. I use to go "barning" or "picking" then sell the stuff at antique shops in other parts of the country. (I was a cross-country trucker at the time.) I would go up to farms that had the time worn look and ask if they had old stuff they wanted to get rid of/sell. Some folks would run me off, some would let me pick for a few hours or a day, others would ask me to come back as many times as I wanted and still others would load me down just to get stuff off their property. A few of them fed me! Lol. I was so skinny back then. Good times.
Often I would find trunks full of tatted, crochet, knit, woven and knotted items. The most impressive was a beautiful and intricate 156"x 60" tatted and crocheted table cloth from the late 1800's. I took it into a dealer in NYC that thought I didn't know what I had. He was a poor poker player though. I split the profit with a sweet old irish lady that showed love in the form of pastries. God rest her soul. I don't miss getting chased by raccoons, possums, and angry territorial roosters though.
Oh my goodness! What an amazing life you've lived!!! Wow! Thank you for sharing that with me! And I'm so glad you knew what a treasure you had in that tablecloth! Wow! 💓
The bit about instructions not including how to turn a heel, how to increase/decrease, etc. reminds me of old sewing patterns that expect the reader to understand when/how to use interfacing (if at all), interpreting pattern piece markings, etc. It's interesting to see how these things have evolved from necessary household skills to hobbies.
That is a very interesting observation! Thanks for sharing! 🧶🪡🧵
Thank you so much for the intriguing look into the history of crochet and knitting! It was very informative and interesting to learn about why there were so many handmade items during my great-great grandmother's time on the throne. I'm only a distant relation, so no tiara for me, but it's a proud heritage. I used to live in Asheville and knew Mr. George Cecil and his brother, George, who were George Vanderbilt's grandsons. They were lovely British gentleman and I loved them dearly.
Thanks for a well made video!
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing!! Sounds like you've lived a very interesting life!! ❤️❤️❤️
Lol, "only a 2 and a half hour drive...." in Ireland that brings you to the other side if the country🤣
Haha! Yes, two and a half hours is a day trip for us! Ireland is one of my top bucket list of places to visit! My ancestors are from Connacht, which I believe is on the west coast. 🍀🍀🍀
My digging into Victorian crafts has been in tatting. My grandparents married in 1910 after graduating from medical school. Grandpa was a doctor and did Tatting. Grandma was a nurse and did crochet and embroidery. My mom learned to tat from him and learned embroidery from her. Mom couldn't slow down enough for me to learn tatting. But eventually I was able to learn to do it. I started teaching myself all kinds of handwork in high school. I cycle through what I do every few years. I love learning new things. I really liked this video.
Oh wow!!! What an amazing family you have!! Thank you so much for sharing their story with us!! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! 🧶🧶🧶
I have some incredibly fine tatting done by my great-grandmother (who was born in 1892). I can only aspire to work with thread that fine.
I have never been able to get the hang of tatting!
Just this year I knitted my first pair of socks and was able to scratch that off my bucket list.
What made my sock making experiencing interesting was the introduction to the Magic Loop 32" circle knitting needle. It is a knitting experience completely different then any other knitting experience I had before. I stayed away from making socks until then because of double pointed four needles required to knit a pair of socks which mentally transferred to me time it would take picking up stitches I had dropped. After you learn the technique which might take a day or two to catch on with all the foreign maneuvering of the circular needle which requires memory and getting used to anything foreign. My first sock was done "toe up." I used "Bamboo Pop Sock" yarn made of bamboo fiber that lets the sock breath. Magic Loop sock Tutorials can be found on You Tube if any one is interested but beware it could become addictive.
I have been hearing more and more about the magic loop for sock knitting! I'm comfortable with DPNs but I think I would prefer magic loop! I've been told that The Crazy Sock Lady here on RUclips has great tutorials!! Now I just need to get some pretty yarn!! 💖
@@EliseRoseCrochet Pretty yarn makes the "investment in time" more rewarding when socks are completed. Thanks for the tour of the Vanderbilt Mansion. It was so interesting I looked for a few other tours of the mansion you tube and they too were interesting. I subscribed to your channel so looking forward to your next episode. Until then take care.
Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! ❤️
I LOVE magic loop. Life changing.
Mm there's something about history that fills my soul. It's so emotional because of the connection to those who came before us and how we see so much of ourselves in them. It makes me feel so nostalgic. I think that's why I love crochet so much, it feels like paying homage to a time where industriousness, quality and values really abounded. I wish I was born in the Victorian era.
I totally get what you mean. Thinking about the women who came before me and if they loved crocheting and knitting inspires me so much! ❤️❤️❤️
Very interesting, as I get older I find all this history facts and style very interesting.
my grandma was a knitter, she knitted all her sweaters with no patterns. When I was younger I didn't know to appreciate it, regret it very much today. Thanks for sharing
I know how you feel! My grandmother was an amazing crocheter and I didn't appreciate it. So wish I could sit and talk with her about it now. ❤️❤️❤️
I’m in the same boat as y’all. I didn’t appreciate my grandma and great grandmas crochet when I was younger as much as I do now and sadly can’t talk to either one about it since they’re gone now. Any time I use one of my great grandmas dish cloths that she crocheted (only by feel when she went blind) I hold back tears and hope that she can see me from heaven crocheting my little heart out and enjoying it as much as she did.
My Irish granny made so many cable knit sweaters without a pattern. Happily I still have two of the sweaters she made for me and my kids love to wear them ❤❤❤
Yes PLEASE more Victorian and possibly pattern tutorials! This was awesome !
This was one of my favorite videos to make! So much fun!! 🧶🧶🧶
The Rhubarb Crumble wrap! It's lovely in those colours! It does look very vintage in those colours. I've made it but used a deep teal and a dark steel blue. A baby camel and silk mix, omg, the nicest yarn I've ever used!
I was so blown away when Helen sent the shawl to me. I will treasure it always! 💓
@@EliseRoseCrochet it's a stunning shawl, one of my favourites
Please do more crochet history! I loved this! It was fantastic. Thank you
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I plan on making more!! 💓
My husband and I toured Biltmore aestate on our honeymoon 11 years ago and were blown away by it. Such a fascinating place! There is nothing like that here in Australia!
It really is incredible! ❤️❤️❤️
Loved learning about the history of crochet! We so often discuss the present and future of crochet, but it’s great to know where we’ve come from.
I so enjoy the history of things! So glad you liked the video! ❤️❤️❤️
My forebears were spinners, knitters & weavers for at least 9 generations - I’ve traced them back to 1651 in Nottinghamshire. They were tradesmen who served 10 to 15 years apprenticeships before being allowed to join the guild and set up their own workshop. The industrialisation of their crafts and the mass production that ensued resulted in the last framework knitter in my family dying in the poorhouse as he couldn’t get any work in his trade. I also believe in genetic memories because I have been fascinated with fibre crafts all my life - my mother taught me to knit when I was 5 because she got tired of my begging to learn. The first time I saw a spinning wheel I was 10 yo and knew how to use it without being shown. When I get my hands on a raw fleece the smell sends me into raptures. Got to be in the genes 😌
That is absolutely fascinating!! I totally agree about genetic memories. So very interesting! 💖
I love everything Victorian! This was a very delightful and informative video. I grew up seeing my mother, Grandmother, and aunts crocheting and embroidering. I have inherited 99 pieces of crochet and 75 embroidered linens from my grandmother and aunt. They are my most precious possessions. I grew up around antiques that my mother collected. Among her antique books are two volumes of Peterson's Magazine from 1864 and 1867. As a child these books always fascinated me, especially the clothing and lacework. Yes, the crochet instructions are quite confusing and they do seem to assume that you are an expert crocheter who knows what they are implying. by their instructions. Thank God for those who have translated the patterns into modern terms. Thank you for this wonderful look at Victorian times.
Thank you so very much for sharing!! Sounds like you have some real treasures there!! 🧶🧶🧶
This video spoke directly to my soul! My husband and I have seasons passes to Biltmore. In 2019 when they had the Downton Abbey Exhibit, I went to see it 4 times! I absolutely LOVE this era. The estate for us is just an hour away. You need to look into their Valentine's 3 course dinner at the Bistro starting later this week....(today is 2/5/22)
I totally missed the Downton Abbey exhibit! I bet that was incredible!! The Valentine's dinner sounds wonderful! I'm so glad you liked the video!! ❤❤❤
I loved hearing your story on Irish famine. Pretty common knowledge right? But I'm 62 yrs old and never ever heard the lace making saved many many familys!!! Brought tears to my eyes as I to have Irish heritage too.
Elise you look gorgeous!! I love history, and crochet and knitting, so of you combine them - I am delighted!! Thank you!! Xx
Thank you so very much! I really enjoyed making this video and doing the research! ❤️
My mom has been to the Biltmore estate and LOVED it. She's told me all about it, so it was fun to see some of it for myself from your video😊
That's wonderful! It's a magnificent place!! 💘
All the Victorian things are beautiful thank you
You are so welcome! ❤️
You are a great orator and storyteller! I loved watching this video
Thank you so much! ❤️
We are almost neighbors! I’m about an hour and a half away in Kingsport, TN and come up to Asheville several times every year. I’m looking forward to the Vintage Market coming up in March! I’ve been knitting for years and just started making amigurumi and found your RUclips. I’ve really enjoyed watching but especially this week while being sick. Your dolls are beautiful and I just ordered yarn to make that little sunburst granny square blanket! So pretty! Thanks for sharing!!
Awww! I have a friend from Kingsport! Hope you're feeling better soon! 🌻
That was a treat. Thank you. I love the Victorian look. If I could buy a fancy home I would get a Victorian one and deck it out richly.
Me too!!!! I love Victorian homes!!! 💖💖💖
I lived in Ashville for several years. Biltmore at Christmas was a yearly tradition. Fun fact, the house in the movie Ritchie rich was the Biltmore estate.
I would love to go at Christmas! And I had no idea that it was in that movie!! ✨
@@EliseRoseCrochet they go all out at Christmas time, it's a magical experience. The last year we were there they had a ginger bread house competition and you'd be amazed at some of the entries, some were as tall as me and I'm not a short man.
@@The_Scriggles Wow!!
I'm a textile artist and everything in my home pretty much is covered with something or other I made. My mom calls it "shmatta decorating" (shmatta is Yiddish for rag) ;-) She means it lovingly though! I guess I am a Victorian at heart!
You definitely sound like a Victorian at heart!! Love your moms nickname for you! 💕💕💕
I love the patterns and fashions from the 1930s. There are such exquisite details to them like unique collars and necklines. I am plus sized so I would like to translate some of these patterns into ones that would fit and flatter a "fluffy" person like me!
Oooh! That sounds amazing!! 💞
I would dearly love a step-by-step tutorial on beautiful Victorian crochet patterns. I am not yet able to read the printed crochet patterns so I LOVE when RUclipsrs complete the pattern while videotaping, explaining as they go. It's so easy to follow and so enjoyable. Please, please, please - let's complete the gorgeous Victorian patterns you find and resurrect their beauty.
Check out the Engineering Knits RUclips channel and also look up vintage crochet patterns on RUclips! You'll find many lovely ones!! 🧶🧶🧶
Note that most of the extravagant pieces you find in queen anne style house were actually mass produced from factories. It was actually the craftsman homes that were a response to the queen anne style that went back to majority hand crafted features.
Thanks so much for sharing! 🧶🧶🧶
As a Brit, I find it amazing that you talk about Victorian times and things even though she was our Queen.
Of course! Such an interesting period in time!
I have searched for crochet history on line and not found anything this informational. I thoroughly enjoyed this and now have a completely new respect for the art. Thank you for this beautiful video. I will look into the resources you mentioned. So excited! Thanks again, much appreciated!
I'm so very glad you enjoyed the video! I really enjoyed making it! 💓
When she said that NC locals might know about this house I was like “is it Biltmore? I bet it’s Biltmore” 😂
You were right!! 💓
What a beautiful shawl you're wearing!!! 💕I really loved everything you showed us especially since I adore the Victorian era🤗
The Biltmore is beautiful..sooo interesting😍
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! This video was so much fun for me to make!! 🌺🌼🌻
Oh yes I'm very interested. I'm an avid crotchter. Thank you for showing us some of Biltmore castle as it is on my bucket list to do.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! 💖
Hi Barbara.
How are you feeling today I hope your day is as bright as your pretty smile today.
I am very interested in historical knitting, crocheting and also nalbinding! I'm so happy that your channel showed up in my recommendations and with this video! What a beautiful home they built... the intricate details are fascinating. What impressed me the most though was with the scale of the rooms, they were able to still keep a cozy, welcoming atmosphere! That is not easy to do in a place so large!
Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! The Biltmore is absolutely incredible! It really does feel warm and cozy! I've never been at Christmas, but I've heard the decorations are magical! ⭐🎄❤
Very interesting and well-done video! Thank you! Yes! Please make videos about knitting and crochet patterns across the different eras of history. I love to collect them and re-create them.
That's my plan! I'm already thinking about all the different time periods! 💖
Love Biltmore House. Lived in Greenville, SC for many years and visited Biltmore House as a homeschooling field trip for kids. Add the crochet/knit history was a real treat. Thank you!
I think Greenville, SC is even closer to Asheville than we are in the Charlotte area! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! 🍄🌻💓
Yes, my Aunt lives in Carlotte...Matthews, actually.
Wow. What a great video to learn the history of crochet and knitting. Ty I always look forward to watching your next video. 🌤☀️🌦
Thank you so much! I really do enjoy learning more about the history of crocheting and knitting too! ❤️❤️❤️
Hi cloudy.
How are you feeling today I hope your day is as bright as your pretty smile today.
Whew - very interesting - I've been to the Biltmore in Asheville, NC - built in late 1800's and completed in1895 - very modern for the era. It is the largest home in the USA. The tour of the property is awesome and historical.....
It really is a magnificent place! ❤️
Wonderfully done. My adult daughter is named Lacey after Victorian lace
Awww! That is beautiful! 💖💖💖
Love everything Victorian, so thank you for the detailed video on the subject of crochet and knitting. I work at both, so appreciate anything from that era ,as they made some beautiful and intricate work. A lot of this fine work was done by candlelight too. A fabulous tour of the building, I love it. Wow, what a library. Amazing - every room is wonderful. The Vanderbilts were the luckiest people going. It is fantastic. Thank you from the U.K.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. The Vanderbilts were indeed a lucky group! 💖
I appreciate your video so much. It was nice to step back in time and relive the beauty and flavor of that era. I am a long time crocheter and knitter. I've been known to stretch the boundaries a bit when I crocheted the seats for a lawn chair and a baby stroller. I was fortunate to find quite a few crochet books from the early 1900's, the oldest being from 1906. I agree with you in that the instructions are very hard to decipher but the pictures have provided much inspiration. Again, thank you for sharing that lovely video with us and would love to see more in the future.
I'm impressed!!! I have a knitting pattern book from the 1950s and there are patterns in it for underwear!! I cannot imagine wool
undies being comfortable!! 🧶🧶🧶
Two of my favorites knitting 🧶 and the Biltmore. One of my favorite places. Been there many times. Best at Christmas 🎅. Totally enjoyed the history of knitting 🧶/crochet
Thank you! I want to go at Christmas sometime! 💖
this art project is good for someone who is a homemaker loves art and makes things.
Thank you! 💖
Elise, Thank you for such a beautiful, well put together video. I feel like I've been to the Vanderbilt home now! And all the Victorian era facts were fascinating as well. I really appreciate all the work you put into your lovely videos. They're always a delight!
You are so welcome! ❤️❤️❤️
Aw yay I love Engineering Knits, I'm glad to see she's getting recognized
She has some amazing content!! So glad I found her channel! 💖
I am interested in Victorian knit and crochet. I have a small collection of original patterns from that era that I picked up in antique stores, etc.
What a treasure you have!! 💓
Oh, more videos like this one! Thank you, Elise!
I'm so very glad you enjoyed it! 💖
I have made all the little girls in the family a little sweater the pattern is over 100 years old all the mommies love it its called jiffy knit jacket
That is amazing!! They are family heirlooms! 💓
I have some original Godey's magazines, and find it totally fun to do the patterns. Of course, I have crocheted for decades!!
I haven't done socks yet, for lots of reasons.
Glad you had such a fun visit to Biltmore.
Oh I bet those old magazines are such a treasure! The Biltmore really is such a gorgeous and inspiring place to visit! 🌺🌼🌻
Really interesting video! :) I wish we could learn fun facts like this, about queen Victoria and Irish crochet at school instead of boring battles and wars. The Biltmore Estate looks gorgeous, thanks for sharing your trip!
I could not agree more! If they had shared this type of information in school, I would have paid more attention!! 😂
I love anything Victorian. I am from Virginia. Never been to Biltmore. Even though I'm not that far away. But I really want to, especially now. I really love this video. Fastened by irish crochet
You will love the Biltmore!! ❤️
I live about 2 hours from Asheville. I’ve been to the Biltmore about a dozen times! One of my favorite places to visit 💕
It's just so beautiful there! 💖
Not even a knitter and this was fascinating! Love your channel
Oh thank you!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! 🧶🧶🧶
So much history and beautify. I loved this video, thank you!!!
I'm so very glad you liked it! 💓
Hi Judy.
How are you feeling today I hope your day is as bright as your pretty smile today.
Yes please upload more about Victorian stuff 💜💜💜💜
Thank you! I'm so glad you liked the video! 💖
This is so wholesome!
Thank you so much! ❤️
I cannot love this video enough. I live in Marion and have never been to Biltmore it’s definitely a dream of mine but I’ve just never had the money to go. Thanks for the wonderful history lesson and preview of this gorgeous home. ❤
Awww! I hope you get to go someday!! ❤️❤️❤️
That was so interesting. Thank you. I'm an knitter/crocheter myself.
I"m so glad you enjoyed it! 💓
They are still beautiful and i don't mind if it comes back. Modern Clothes could need it. Knitting and hooking are also relaxing. The fine Stuff needs lot of time to make...but so beautiful and you appreciate your own clothes more instead of throwing away. Sure nowadays it would be strange to wear Victorian or Edwardian Clothes but the Boots and Tops..classy and elegant. Details are beautiful.
I totally agree! 🧶🧶🧶
This is my first time watching one of your videos. I’m hooked. Thank you
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 💖
I taught myself how to make beaded crochet with Victorian crochet books I found in a Thrift store many many many years ago...
Wow!!! That is so amazing! Thank you for sharing! 💖💖💖
I used to check out crochet books from the library. I also realized that older patterns from the 1960's is that the are based on the assumption that you know how to crochet.
Yes. They assume you have a basic knowledge while books now walk you through it all! 🧶🧶🧶
Very interesting and well done video, Elise. Enjoyed watching this.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 💓
My parents house (the house I grew up in) is a Victorian semi detached villa and my Dad is restoring the formal sitting room. It'll look great when it's finished.
We have a museum close to us (the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum) and it has old Irish cottages and some workshops with looms. Occasionally they hold demonstrations on crafts and I have tried Irish lacework, it is so difficult, I don't know how people can tell all the bobbins apart. They also have 2 looms that still work and can create woollen fabric and linen fabric. It's fascinating, you'd love it.
Wow!!! I would love to see lacework demonstrations! That museum sounds absolutely amazing! ❤️❤️❤️
I found another blog or it found me about vintagecrochet and she is attempting to make the items from old publications I think it is. Called just vintage. I also have magazines called Old Time Crochet from the 1980s that. Reprinted the patterns with more modern terms.i have attempted some of these but not quite proficient because I taught myself how to crochet from right handed instructions and some times the diagrams are hard to interpret when you are lifted but I knit right handed because my girl scout troop went for lessons at department store
I was at work when this dropped and I was SO tempted to try and sneak away to watch but thought I would wait until I got home. It was worth the wait. I was able to read the blog post which only made me more excited to get home to watch the video. Beautiful video. Your content makes me happy ❤️
Awww! Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and post! I had a great time learning everything and the dressing up part too! 😂
I wish houses were still built with such intricate details! Even super expensive homes don’t do beautiful carved wood or molding, they are fancy, but I’d rather have a Victorian home any day!
I couldn't agree more!! I've been trying to convince my husband that we need an old home, but all he sees are the expenses and repairs, lol! 🏠🏠🏠
Am literally sat crotcheting a shawl as an xmas gift lol
Haha!! Great timing! 💓
I crotchet and knit. I love making doilies but find the younger people are not interested in them. I would love patterns of Victorian era so I may make and add to my collection.
I think the interest is coming back and more and more young people are becoming interested! ❤️❤️❤️
Doilies turned into wall hangings are a bit more popular! Put it in a round hoop and it will sell :) The art as a whole is becoming more popular, as far as I can tell.
Loved the history of Ireland, Victoria and Biltmore. My family adores visiting Biltmore and have had many behind the scenes tours. I have to say I was surprised at your pronunciation of Appalachia. You must be from the city. 😁Like you, I was really intrigued with the linen space. (obviously the library too). When my family first started going they didn't have the whole wine shopping area. It really ruined the scenery from the hotel. But for wine drinkers they probably enjoy it. When my son was young he would get to collect the eggs from the chickens and once we were privilege to visit when a baby lamb was born. It's more commercialized now. Wonderful video.
Thank you so much!! ❤️ And yes, I'm from the city!! Would love to know how you pronounce it!! 🧶🧶🧶
@@EliseRoseCrochet The emphesis is on the Latch-un, instead of Lay-shun, which lets the natives know where people are from. I love this about different areas of the U.S., because there are so many street names and towns where the natives pronounce them differently instead of phonetically. Irvine in Cali, but Irvin (spelled like Irvine) in KY. Versailles in France, but Ver-sales in KY. (don't ask, I have no idea) LOL I think natives have an aversion to French pronunciations.
OH, I forgot to ask, does Biltmore still have the falconry?
This is so interesting! So well researched and factual. Thank you so much! I'd like to see more of historical video about crafts around the internet.
Thank you so much!! 🧶🧶🧶
I love the Victorian era, so I found your video to be wonderful! I also crochet and tat lace, and seeing some of the interior of that magnificent home was sp special. Thank you !
Oh I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Would love to crochet and tat lace!! Sounds beautiful!! And the home is absolutely magnificent! You're so very welcome! ❤️❤️❤️
I knit, crochet, tat, and all sorts of needlework as well. Although I’ve been more focused on knitting and sewing lately. I’ve got to get back to tatting and designing more tatting patterns! Don’t you just love the variety that we can do!
@@witatter1 That is amazing! It is wonderful that there are so many different ways to express ourselves!
I just found your channel!! LOOOOOOOVE this video. You're a wonderful show host and your videos are so fun. Looking forward seeing more!😍😍😍😍😍😍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you so very much! 💖
Thanks a lot for this video, I love history and so much more if its about origin of stichtes, crochet, etc.. Please, consider making more! ☺👏👏👏
I think I will!! I've been surprised how many people have been interested in this video!! 🧶🧶🧶
This is totally fascinating. You obviously put a great deal of research into this video. I learned SO much. Thank you!
Thank you so very much! I really enjoyed making the video!! ❤️❤️❤️
What colors of yarn were available in the victorian era?
I also find it interesting that lace machines came out of this era, using punch cards to tell the machine the pattern.
Very interesting! Thanks for sharing! 🧶🧶🧶
Would love to see more of these patterns. Thank you 🧶
I'm so glad you enjoyed them! 💖
I did enjoy your video.
Beautiful home and lace items. I love the Victorian era. Thank you for your video. I love to crochet.
I knit also
But crochet is what I do most.
You're so welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! 💓
That was great Elise! Yes I love Victorian needlework and find it very interesting also. We've been to the Biltmore. Wow, what a wonderful place. Thanks so much for sharing and anytime you want to revisit this subject would be wonderful. I have crocheted lace for pillow cases and find it very lovely.
The Victorian era is so incredibly interesting with all the beautiful handiwork! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! ❤️❤️❤️
I loved this video. Thank you for sharing the tour of Biltmore. We just finished reading the Serafina book series and it was fun to see so many of the rooms mentioned in the books.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! ❤️❤️❤️
OMGosh I didn’t know you are a fellow North Carolinian!! (Obviously, I typed this before she gave all of the information on the estate, Lol!! ). The Builomore estate is a jewel of our state! It’s a place that everyone should visit at least once!! The home is amazing!! The way in which the estate was built -- with thoughts of how to heat and cool is astonishing!! Of to mention the gigantic pool they had inside!!! Oh, and the wine from the vineyards!!! You can do a wine tasting as part of the tour! The money earned from ticket sales to tour the estate is what pays for the enormous upkeep needed to maintain the ‘home’ and grounds as well as employs a large number of locals. (Btw, the pool was in use when I toured it...but that was pre 2000s...yup, I’m old, lol!)
She said completely correct on reading these Victorian era patterns....very difficult!! It assumes that you know what they are thinking and doing...it leaves A LOT out of the pattern! It’s more like shorthand...like you were writing a pattern as you were creating the item to jog your memory of what you did. You don’t kneed all of those details bc you did the work and you’d know what you were talking about.

I really enjoyed this upload . Thankyou from Manchester uk 😊
Thank you!! I'm so glad!! ❤️
Loved this video Elise. Fun fact, I learned to swim in a Victorian swimming pool 😁 I'm sure your socks will be much better than Queen Victoria's 🤣😘😘
That is so interesting!!! And can you even imagine saying something so critical about a Queen and in front of her!! Thankfully Queen Victoria seems to have had a good sense of humor! 😂
Lovely video. Such a treat!

Thank you so much for this incredible history lesson! It was so interesting to learn about knitting and crochet during the Industrial Revolution. Yes, the Biltmore Estate is on my bucket list!!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! 🧶🧶🧶
love the Biltmore!
It's a magical place! ✨✨✨
Speaking of Biltmore, I emailed the head curator about examining the family's knitwear to recreate & sell patterns. The knitwear doesn't exist, and if it did, it wouldn't be at Biltmore. So much for that plan.
Oh that's interesting. I wonder what happened to their knitwear. They have so many other artifacts from the home, it's a shame they didn't keep the clothing. 🧶🧶🧶
@@EliseRoseCrochet The curator reminded me that Biltmore was the Vanderbilts' summer home, so their winter clothes would have rarely been at Biltmore at all. I was imagining writing the patterns & making kits which would be sold at Biltmore & online.
@@davidhensley76 very interesting! Such a good idea too!
I visited the Biltmore years ago and I now am living in Raleigh area. The gardens were amazing and I was so fascinated by the pool. Hard to believe people lived like that. They were installing Xmas decorations when we were there which I guess goes on for months. Thanks for the memory!
I've never been to the Biltmore at Christmas! I bet its amazing! It is hard to imagine how people lived like that! ❤
You know the size hook you will need by the ply of the yarn they would be using. I assume needles were the same. I doubt there was much frustration, especially since you mother/grandmother/aunt would’ve taught you that growing up.
Thank you so much for sharing that information! Very helpful! 🧶🧶🧶
Loved this educational vlog on Victorian yarn arts. I toured the Biltmore 3 decades ago. Amazing and fascinating place
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! It really is such an amazing place! ❤️❤️❤️
What a beautiful and interesting video.
Thank you so very much! 💕
Loved that, Thank you. I have an old book of Cluny Lace patterns and would dearly love a modern translation of the patterns, it is the most adorable crochet lace. Irish crochet is outstanding, Pinterest show many wedding dresses made using that method. Your shawl is gorgeous.
Oh those patterns sound lovely!!! 🧶🧶🧶
Thank you, I will take your advice and check out Pinterest Irish crochet. That book sounds very fascinating I would love to see what that looks like. neat very fascinating stuff thank you for sharing.
Wow! Wow! WOW!!!!!!! Thank you for such a fascinating video! It was a fun pack from start to finish!!! Loved it so much and would love to see more just like it!!! Great history information in all aspects!!! I was filled with happiness throughout the whole video!!!
