Wow my imagination is going crazy with how purses have evolved. I can't imagine not having my lipstick, mirror or phone with me. Indeed, a woman's purse has evolved along with her everyday accessory necessities!!!💃
That was really interesting! At first I thought it was called a miser's purse because it would stop you from spending money as you would have to do a whole procedure. ha! Thank you for sharing your process :)
This bag is so pretty. I love the color of the yarn, but holy moly are those some TINY needles! Your work is so fine, I can't wait for you to explore knitting further.
After watching you make a miser's purse, now I need to go make me one. It looks so pretty. I'm often seen pictures of ladies carrying them, but I also mistakenly thought it was a handkerchief, so today I learned those are miser's purses not handkerchiefs. Ty for all the wonderful & educational videos you make!
I am so glad that I can finally understand how those purses work! I love the idea of a coin purse, but it is hard to parse through and find the coins you need. This method of separation solves all my problems! Thank you!!
What amazing work! Your purse is BEAUTIFUL! It looks like the same style of purse that Harriet carries at the end of the 2020 film adaptation of “Emma”!
This is incredible!! That lattice style beading can be done on a single thread working side to side and attaching to the knitted work as you go! I can’t explain on a comment but I believe it can be done much easier that way.
Hi - just saw this on Cocovid and subscribed to your channel - lol I have a few Victorian Knitting books but I'm always too busy with sweaters ( nearly wrote jumper ) and blankets..... I had another look through the "Art of Knitting" after I watched your video and am going to knit the knee over thing - my knee is always colder than the rest of me
I was already excited before I started watching and I was not disappointed - a wonderful project! And so eloquently presented~ I shall definitely have to do something like this once I have the skill and materials for it!
Loved this, thank you! I like the way you hold the yarn. Different from how I was taught though yours is better because it is more ergonomic by only moving fingers to wrap the yarn rather than the way I knit, which takes a whole hand movement to wrap the yarn. 🇦🇺😎
It's called Continental. There are quite a few different ways to knit, and often it depends on what country/area people are from. For example, throwing (where you use one hand to wrap the yarn) is referred to as English knitting, there's also a Norwegian method, as well as Portugeuse knitting. Some people prefer Continental as they say it's faster - but whatever works really :)
@@SherbetLollipop it's only faster if you're good at it! XD The interesting bit is that, the different methods really evolved from different techniques that were popular. For example, 'throwing' works better for bobbles and cables like you'd see in an aran fisherman's sweater, for example, but continental really makes stranding and fair isle patterns a bit easier to do from our Norwegian cousins!
wow, that's such a clever design! And work with such tiny needles, amazing! The result is so pretty :) I suppose you know about it, but maybe as a resource for others, there's a method of netting with beads that uses just one thread (and beading needle, yes, that helps a lot). I've used that with some of my beaded projects and I can see how it could work with this kind of combined media purse as well. (There's lot of tutorials for it, simple googling "bead netting" leads to them usually.)
It is so pretty!!! How do you even maneuver needles that small?!? I feel like I would go cross-eyed and arthritic before getting halfway through! Sometimes you can get away with using a very small sewing needle; not all of the beads might fit, but keep an extra receptacle to drop them in so that you don't rethread the same bead. Takes longer, but quicker than no needle. Also, I feel like you were overthinking your beading far too much...
That is a great question. Of the paintings I've seen of women with miser's purses they're holding it in their hands. If you have a belt, you could also loop it over as well!
SO pretty! I love it~ I wish I could knit. Haha. i tried and I'm a natural with crochet but knit is so hard for me. I'll have to practice for a long time to get it right. =__=
May I ask what brand of needles you're using here? They look MUCH more tapered than mine in 0000, and trying to knit lace at that gauge with blunt needles is just soul-sucking. Oh, the woes of being a lace knitter.

You did such a good job on that. It would be awesome with a lining so the coins won't ruin the lace. It is beautiful.

I’m 22 and extremely near sighted and I can feel my vision waning even more just watching you knit this 😵💫
This bag is so pretty. I love the color of the yarn, but holy moly are those some TINY needles! Your work is so fine, I can't wait for you to explore knitting further.
This was fascinating to watch! I love how close it looks to the originals

Beautiful. The thrice-dyed silk's colour is gorgeous. ❤
Love the lattice beading!
Thank you! I'm so happy with how it turned out!
Thank you for clearing up the mystery that was keeping me from appreciating miser's purses! Now I get it, and your work is lovely.

It was great to see this yarn knit up, and I always wondered how those purses worked! Very pretty, and gosh those needles are small!!
Wow, and I thought knitting with US 1 (2.25 mm) was rough on the hands. I can't imagine what it would be like to use such small needles!
The detail is unreal!

I've seen big canvas bags called market wallets. Made in the same way as your purse, but much bigger of course.
Beautiful!
So gorgeous, so cute 😭😭😭
I'm SOOOOO in love with your videos!
Beautiful knitting project. I crochet, so I will have to adapt the pattern
Beautiful job!
I absolutely loved this ...so proud. You encouraged me to research this and I am making an 18th century pitcher purse ⛲🤤

This was very cool to see! I want to make one now!

Thank you! I've wanted to make one of these.
Very very interesting! So beautiful!
How delicate and lovely! I love the outcome of working with lace needles....but I hate what it does to my eyes and wrists! 😩
Oh that’s so pretty, and wow those are some tiny needles!!!
Such a cute purse. I think, I am going to try it, once I finished knitting the scarf that I am currently working on. Thank you for the video!
The purse you made is lovely ❤️
Oh god...those needles are so tiny! It turned out beautiful.
They are quite tiny - I've had to get used to knitting with them! Thank you 😊
Lovely. Thank you.
wow, that's such a clever design! And work with such tiny needles, amazing! The result is so pretty :)

So did t they just hold the purse in their hands? Or did they attach the purse to their person?
That is a great question. Of the paintings I've seen of women with miser's purses they're holding it in their hands. If you have a belt, you could also loop it over as well!
Women of old were sensible beings. Their clothes had big pockets.
@@EngineeringKnits looped over a belt would be very practical.
Where is your link to the Ostend in interested greatly in old oringnals

You can use this to hold crystals, cookies and colorful beans.
....where can you get needles that small???? I'd love to get myself to a pair.........honestly probably a bunch of them
Do you have a link for those needles?
Anyone know of a crochet pattern by chance. I may end up writing one
Have you ever heard of a pence jug?
You say miser's purse, I hear dice bag
Lol
