I have become involved (yet again!) in an on-line knitalong
This time it is run by a Dutch knitter who discovered a sampler knitted by a young girl in the mid 1800's. It was done as a sampler for knitting stockings - very fine white wool .
An intriguing side issue here is that the patterns are given in Dutch and English, as is the posting to the group, so I am absorbing a few Dutch knitting terms as I go!
We are getting one pattern each Saturday and I have so far kept up.
I'm knitting in cotton and think I'll make it into a scarf when I've finished.
Here are the photos of the first eight patterns. The original had a letter M on it which I changed to an N.
