152 Year Old Mystery Crochet Pattern | What will it be this time? (Mystery #8) 

Addicted. How do I subscrube i cant see the Red button any more😢

@@Padraigp it’s a white button now , I’m not a fan of it lol

@@justvintagecrochet i had to click on the name of the channel and then found it. Some update orother changed things. I don't ever like change especially for absolutely nó fathomable reason. I suppose someone who has no cotcheting to do just enjoy knitting and unravvelling the interweb instead lol!

@@justvintagecrochet also your channel is genius and so much fun ive sent links to my mom who crotchets and my granny did too and my great granny was a seamstress i have an edwardian silk dress she almost had finished making. And lots of vintage géar. But absolutely. No patterns so im delighted to see them! Absolutely love shouting at you as you go along lol!>

The " mersrs" in the beginning of the pattern stands for Mercerized cotton by the way!

"The usual way" sort of thing. 😁

Oh god yes. Take a sufficient amount of salt so as to season 1 litre of broth. Having made the broth proceed in the usual manner to blahventate the oxtail into a paste of Paris with the whisk being sure to leave a small space in the pastry to allow the steam to escape. Bake in the usual manner. 😂

@serendipidus8482 use a wine glassfull of this and a walnut sized lump of that. Bake in cool oven for an hour. How full a wine glass? To the rim? Three-quarters? Walnut sized lump? English walnut with or without husk or black walnut with or without husk? Or just the walnut meat? COOL oven!? Isn't that an oxymoron? Hell with it, ordering in.

11:49 though I’m still shouting “chain 4”! 😂

It is beautiful! Thank you!

I was thinking the same thing! The brackets were explaining the purl :) This is fascinating to see! I haven't ever thought about trying to find old crochet patterns to try.

@@FionaC1 same!

😂 This is so relatable when I bought an old crochet book 'coz I wanted to learn the terms..I ended up doing all the practice chains but when I got to the patterns I scratch my head and had to repeat several times coz my work doesn't look like the photos..😂

lol Thank you :)

Thank you so much! and well said :)

Absolutely! I would have looked to see what it is supposed to be at the first sign of confusion. She said once it's like reading Dr Suess, I agree.

I do feel you r vibe! I am a self taught crochet too peace be with you!! ✌🏻🧚‍♀️🔮

@argusfleibeit - My first time on this site but for a moment thought I had written your comment myself. I do only the same crochet stitches as well, that my mother taught me to take my mind off my school exams. From squares I progressed to my own pattern for tea-cosies. Like you I find patterns a bit hard to follow. I also think of it as like trying to read music (slow but I get there, though right hand only but enough for piano & basic violin). Algebra too (I like to look up the basics once or twice a year to refresh myself, to see how it actually works, all other forms of maths leaving me cold). So this looks an interesting way to find out what the pattern makes - whilat as big a mystery to everyone else as to me. We do both seem to be a pair of 'tryers', don't we? Oh it's turned out to be like a bit of lace!! Very nice. Have you ever tried to make a circular sugar bowl cover? I saw one that was weighted down with beads, only my own attempts were neither circular nor as pretty. Ah well... (PS. I can still do shorthand though, just not as fast)

@@AmieDeLalla I'm talking about way back, when there was just string or yarn. I think it took quite a leap to go from there to making something. I do think it was some kind of different mind that would work and discover these crafts. Sorry about your inferiority complex.

Thank you :)

@@justvintagecrochet I really appreciate the time that you put into these videos (all of your videos). I am homeless, living in my car and you take me away from my daily stresses and I thank you so very much… I always have a smile watching you figure out those very limited instructions. Thank you😁❤️

thank you :)

lol thank you :)

It's so fun to watch her struggle especially with the english ones where she can't even figure out the sentence and says it so funny. Things were written in such precise language in those days that everything sounds like it's Stephen fry saying it!

Very well said! I agree 100%.

That's wonderful ❤

yay!! I so happy to hear that :)

​@Skipperoni i second this motion! i wanna try all these myself!

That you so much!! 🤗

Thank you 😊

I'm glad I checked the comments, I was gonna say the same thing about "&c" haha! I love how written and spoken language evolve over time

thank you :)

thank you , I find them on internet archives :)

That's so awesome, thank you so much! :)

thank you . I really do :)

I enjoyed watching this very much, once again you did a super job of figuring it out, and it’s amazing how close you came to making it exactly, with the instructions given . I would never have figured it out . Thanks again for doing these videos .

Yes I agree,very unique concept ,very enjoyable to eatch

lol

thank you :)

Ha, ha! I guessed weird.😂

Ah! Bassinette! That's the etymology of the modern word! Cool beans!

Couvrette is the etymologic origin of "coverlette" in English. Hmmm...

I'm a language nerd in Latin, but I don't know French.

@@donnasqueaky2 No, not quite. “bassin” (< Lat. ’baccinum’, meaning ’wide bowl’) and “berceau” (< Lat. ’berciolum’, meaning ‘small carrier/cradle’) are two different words.

Reminds me of pieces my Great Grandmother would make. I have the most Beautiful Spread she made...I would sit for hours and 'feed her the there's As she crocheted💜

I think it's the bottom lace of a dress or jacket.

thank you :)

wonderful! :)

thank you :)

Does this have anything to do with baby’s clothes

The terms were for different baby furniture like a bassinet and different types of cradles, chairs, push chairs etc. It could have also been used on baby clothes. I guess it was so one could make all the nursery items match by having the covers made of similar fabrics. Colors, and trims. Having some clothes match the nursery items would make sense as well.

yes, I know , thank you

@@justvintagecrochet hah, sorry, I tried scrolling through the comments, and didn't find anything about it, didn't want to spam you

@@LualaDy no worries, I have gotten over 80 comments about it and 1 email with a screenshot 😂, lemmy tell ya lol , I do actually very much appreciate the feedback and advice from you all though ❤️

thank you :)

Thank you.

thank you so much :)

thank you so much! :)

indeed! :)

ish lol :)

Thank you so much :)

@@justvintagecrochet You're welcome🙂

thank you

right on haha :)

Thank you :)

I'm so glad to see that I wasn't the only one yelling, "REPEAT FROM ASTERISK!" at the video!! 😂 I have a vintage crochet "edging" pattern that I found online that is very similar to this. I love making doilies (although the last few rounds can get obnoxiously LLLOOOOOONNNNGGGG!!!!!) and these edgings remind me of stretched out doilies. I feel super blessed that I was taught how to read patterns by my former mother-in-law. It can really help trying to work through these vintage patterns. 😁

thank you! :)

thank you :)

thank you :)

Lol Thank you 🤗

yay! thank you :)
