5.0 out of 5 stars I learned something useful!
Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2020
Verified Purchase
This book has sat around in my Kindle library for years. Occasionally, I looked through it, but, no matter my skill, the lack of pictures and the antiquated writing style has dissuaded me from using any of the patterns. Today, that changed. Those pesky holes in your carefully worked columns of cables has had a solution since the reign of Queen Victoria of England.

Miss Mee calls it Twisted Knitting; She also calls a 12 stitch repeat of Old Shale "fans". The Gentleman's Cuffs will throw you, but the answer is right there! They are cuffs, those crazy things that hold up your socks.

The baby's hood requires extra fine lace weight thread, properly fine knitting needles, and 208 stitches to start. If I could see to knit with sewing thread, I might try it. For one shawl, you must be proficient at netting, but it is a simple pattern clearly expressed.

Overall, a great book. I'm glad I went back to it. It is worth trying, if you have some skill at knitting. It is not intended to teach knitting, and, unless reenactment is your thing, you are unlikely to use the patterns. But it does give a glimpse of history, and knitting is also fun.

For a book that's more than 100 years old, it's great. The language needs to be dealt with in patience, Victorian English almost needs translating for modern tastes. The patterns turn out some cute items, but the stitch patterns are fantastic. (Hint: "pins" are knitting needles; "seam 1" is the same as purl 1, etc.)

Along the pages of the book they refer to photos that don't exist. This makes all much more difficult to understand.

The instructions are easy to follow, the stitch names and techniques did not change at all since 1846. The big down side is that this publication does not include illustrations, so while you are working on the project you can only see the final product in your mind's eye. If you are an experienced knitter you can envision it, otherwise it is a surprise. I knit for relaxation, so in some way I enjoyed being surprised by the final result - kind of like a mystery quilt!

If you enjoy knitting and not trying to accomplish a very specific patent, you will find following these instructions easy and be pleasantly surprised by what you created. I like these old patents and having this tangible connection to the past.

The terminology is archaic; i. e. Size 8 pins. ( needle's) Not a useable book. No pictures. I could not follow the instructions at all. It was free but I won't be using this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Knitting and more - cultural history!
Reviewed in Germany on February 25, 2013

The book is another great document of cultural history (although I knitted my last kettle holder in the 1950s), and a reminder of the wonderful knitting artwork of my mother and grandmother. And presumably the book is also useful to knitters and crocheters, though I can't judge this personally.
