The Costume Museum is setting up a display of some its books for the public to flip through. We have set up the display like a library so folks can sit down and flip through the selected books. It didn’t take long to create the selection so once done, we sat down to flip through some of the books ourselves. I found one on crochet that seemed to be from around the turn of the century (though I couldn’t find an actual date on it.)
I found a couple of patterns I’d like to try and this blog seems like a good place to save it. I often think of my blog as a kind of “cloud” for saving photographs and ideas in the event of a computer crash.
so here goes…a lace with a matching insertion.
I haven’t tried this yet but I anticipate some struggle to comprehend vague instructions. Sigh….
I am so envious of the research opportunities you get!!! But so happy that you share all that you see and do with your costuming and museum work. This is beautiful edging I will have to learn how to crochet! Thanks for sharing
You are welcome! I enjoy sharing the odd little things that excite me with others who also like it!
