It is a fitting example of needlework and history, hand in hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis electronic pattern book opens a window on another time and another place. The time is the turn of the twentieth century and the place is London, England. Needleworkers of that era would be amazed to see their favorite crochet patterns in a virtual format of which they could never have dreamed.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn an effort to bring needlework to the emerging middle class, Weldon's, a paper pattern producer of the Victorian era, began to publish monthly newsletters devoted to various crafts (beading, knitting, crochet, patchwork, and the like). These newsletters were typically 14 pages and cost 2 pence. Later, they were collected into book form, titled \u003ci\u003eWeldon's Practical Needlework\u003c\/i\u003e. This series was included in Volume 4.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWe have reproduced for you here the crochet material from the the Fifth through Eighth Series. There are over 100 patterns that range from simple garments such as mitts and gloves, to ornate ones such as petticoats and jackets. The patterns are often ingenious, and many of the objects transcend the century-plus span of years since they were devised. Because the English crochet notations might perplex a contemporary crocheter we have included a simple stitch conversion chart for your convenience.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis electronic book serves as a curiosity, an inspiration, a resource, and a link to a time beyond our memories. In using and enjoying it, you keep the craft alive.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Long Thread Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58634378805551,"sku":"ldj1791805114030","price":19.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/7003\/1151\/files\/weldons-practical-crochet-series-5-8-set-ebook_1.jpg?v=1791805120","url":"https:\/\/cloveray.shop\/products\/weldons-practical-crochet-series-5-8-set-ebook","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
