Knitting in History
Well, it’s finished. What have I learnt from this test of a design published in 1880?
This design is quite sweet but I think a similar effect could be achieved more simply. The stitched on lace border is charming – see my previous post for instructions – BUT the seam around the leg is quite clumsy.
Adding the ribbon threaded through the eyelet holes around the ankle made a nice finishing touch.

It does make you wonder about the design. The result is so very cute 🙂
