Magically, I now have Ms Pauker’s first book in my hands after all. Okay, only on my tablet, but that’s also “in my hands”, so to speak. In any case, the question arose as to whether it wouldn’t make more sense to work on this book first. And well, what can I say. I can imagine that things are explained in it that completely confused me in her third or fourth book, at least I hope that’s the case. Then I guess I’ll have to rename the project “Newest pattern book of 103 excellently beautiful knitting pattern tours”. Read you later.
Month: January 2023
Today I discovered that the woman who wrote the book I am working on is in a collection of samples that I still have on my shelf. However, the patterns from my book are not included here. How productive was this woman? And what does she mean by “knitting a smooth course over it”. There seems to have been a secret knitting language around 1830. Are there actually archives in Germany or Austria that only deal with this? I hope the internet knows something like that. So many questions and so much internet, it will challenge the recall and precision of my search engine. In any case, the best results come up with “Gang sricken”. Or are there no knitting gangs on the streets of New York?
Wow this “everything I knitted/made/crocheted in 2022” trend …. I should make a video with everything I haven’t knitted or crocheted in the last 4 years. So not finished… so. That would probably be a very long video and I’ll spare you.
Instead, this year will be accompanied by a project that I will write about regularly here on a sub-page. The first post will be published on Saturday morning.
Hello you 2-3 readers out there, don’t be too excited but you can see knitting pattern instructions (from 1835) from then on that you may or may not be able to knit, but you can watch them 😀
