This is a loose and random collection of original knitting, crochet and needlework patterns from Victorian publications. I do knit, crochet and sew, however, these patterns at best can be described as a very loose collection of directions accompanied by photographs and/or illustrations and are in many instances beyond my skills and comprehension.

To view the patterns and instructions clearer, double click and expand as desired.

Good luck!

The Mists and Mazes of Politics

This is not a blog for my opinions but clearly the magazines of 1894 (Home Notes)    hoped to shape the opinions of the women they were aimed at. As I leaf through looking for patterns to photograph occasionally other stuff just jumps out at me.

Many of the articles are written by someone with a female name but these two are not signed, coming under the heading of 'Fireside Talks' and showing a line drawing of two women chatting by the fire... Home Notes was edited by 'Isobel' according to the cover.   Mmm I wonder, Mr C Arthur Pearson (publisher) if both opinions might be yours?
