The main reason I follow you, is that you are honest. If its a fail, it's a fail, if you nail it, you NAIL it, but whatever happens you are always 100% truthful and I really admire that. No one gets everything right and that is OK. I would've given up after reading that darn pattern 😅
I’m a bit of a history buff so thanks for the history lesson. Back in the day men used macassar oil to smooth their hair, this antimacassar cloth was used to protect the chair from the hair oil. I remember seeing these on my grandparents chairs when I was a child. Necessity is the mother of invention. Thanks for the history lesson.
I worked on it and it has multiples of 12 +1 (144+1(+2 at the beginning and double in the third chain from hook)). At the end of each row you chain two and turn and it doesn’t count as a stitch. I’m so glad for pattern writers of today and TH-cam tutorials! 😂
When I'm working with small steel hooks like this, I've taken to putting a silicone fingertip protector on my middle finger to stop that pain! It came as a 3-pack from dollar tree, and they're meant to protect against the heat of hot glue, but they work a charm for cushioning the jab of those tiny hooks!
So happy to see you again, Ms Corinna! Don’t stop working the back bumps! Ever since I learned this from you, my work looks so much better. Now my hint for you. I love working thread doilies. The only bummer was the groove that would cut deep into my finger by the thread. Ouchie! An older lady taught me to make a finger sleeve. Using thread, whatever size you like, make a chain long enough to fit around the base of your index finger and working a continuous round, make single crochets around and around. Increase and decrease as necessary to fit the contours of your finger, and make it as long as you need it. Really helps with your thread tension as well as protecting your finger. Love you, Lady! Blessings on you and your family.
In all my years, I've never suffered a crochet injury; knitting injuries, yes, once I switched to the good needles. Steel points stay sharp, that's all I can say, and I now have Band-Aids in every project bag. Give your finger a few days to recover, and we'll see you in the next video.
Hello Corrina, don't beat your self up you always give it your best. All of us would have given up long before now. Looking forward to your next video as always, I so enjoy them.❤
Can I make a suggestion, when doing these mystery patterns, work them in a sport or worsted weight yarn with the corresponding hook. This would result in a less frustrating (for you) working of the pattern while deciphering the pattern. It would also be easier to see, both while you are working it and what we see as an audience. You can then make a version as written if it is a pattern you like. Edit, less stress in your fingers as well. The mystery is the point, figuring it out.
I have done that before, then some get frustrated that im " cheating" or not making it true to the intended pattern, so I go back to thread and some want me to use worsted weight... Im literally not going to be able to make everyone happy , I totally respect your point , I just have to pick my fight for that day lol
I had the same thought: use thicker yarn and use way fewer stitches per row just to figure out the pattern without spending 20 minutes just to get from one end to the other -- maybe 5 or 6 pattern repeats and once finished it's a sample for anyone to replicate. If it's something you like, make it again the way it's intended to be.
I sooo agree with using a larger weight or even a different yarn. You don’t cheat at all when you teach and you can’t teach if you are too sore. Be comfortable. 😊
Looking at the maths, each row has 12 stitches in the pattern. 12 lots of twelve makes 144. You start with 145. This leaves one extra chain/stitch. Could the 1 treble be the one stitch outside of the repeat, and the two chain for turning height? Also, is there more to the pattern, perhaps on a different page? Seems like an abrupt end.
Imagine being about 8 years old, not knowing anything about how to crochet, and the person teaching you (my grandmother) insists on using size 20 thread and a steel hook, and wants you to learn how to crochet handkerchief lace. Talk about being thrown in at the deep end! I didn't get very far (a few inches of single crochet), but I still have the handkerchief that has my very first stitches (my grandmother finished it and it's beautiful) Thankfully, my father decided to re-teach me, from the very beginning, all the basic stitches in both rows and rounds, using worsted weight yarn, while following a vintage beginners pattern book (it's probably an antique book, by now). It's been 50 years since that handkerchief fiasco, and I STILL won't work with thread thinner than a size 10.
Watching you crochet with the small hook reminds me I have the crochet hook my paternal grandma learned to crochet on It has a really tiny hook on it but no size indication or label to tell me who made it. All I can say is it's steel and it's shorter than what I have seen. It used to have a cover for the hook end, but I boarder who let her daughter get into anything and laughed when we went to her about what the girl had done. She lost the cover and I found the hook on the back deck. Too bad her daughter never got ahold of her mom's antique doll her grandma left HER.
Omg I had a daisy maker when I learned how to crochet I loved it , wish I knew where to find one don't know where to look . I think pattern is 3 open spaces then 2 open then 1 then repeat you gave a finger for this one so good try !! Thank You !!
Hi 👋🏼 there…I was just wondering 💭…what happened to the vide from today Thursday August 8th…?? I didn’t get to finish watching & I was really looking 👀 forward to seeing it all…when I came back…POOF! GONE…!
I don't think you saw it, but it has a nice triangle design. I had to squint a little bit at first, but I think you did it right! Maybe the thread was just too fine.
I’m so glad you can do this tiny crocheting! I have bilateral carpal tunnel and nerve damage from trigger fingers and I just can’t hold anything that small. I really really wanna make some thing like today’s mystery but I will live vicariously through your fingers! Thank you so much for sharing!
I beg to differ, i think you nailed it! If you look, the dc ch2 dc spaces ARE lined up on the diagonal, may be a cute pattern if continued. Rockin the 1880's with style!
One thing I did borrow from Bernadette Banner (she has an antique/vintage/victorian sewing channel) is to use a leather thimble on your finger to help the sharp needle pricking. When dealing with not so sharp needles I made myself a denim thimble/finger glove from a piece I had around and I upcycled a strap of leather I also had laying around to make a small ring/thimble for sharper needles. For jewelry making there is a metal thimble/ring thing to help but to work with sewing/crocheting it is not really comfortable, I like the denim or the leather one for those. I always need something to protect my fingers because I have super sensitive skin. Fingerless gloves, gloves, finger coverings, rings, thimbles, band-aids, micropore, anything I can find to use to the task. I know you're not a sewer so you can grab a somehow thin leather and some other cloth/fabric and sandwich them using double sided tape to make a ring to your finger. Wrap the fabric strip around your finger, then the double sided tape and then the leather. You can try to use some heavy duty fabric like denim instead of the leather in case you don't have any. The tape should help to stop the needle from going through. I hope it helps!
I think, in the 4th row, you are supposed to go back to the part before the parentheses and work that, too. The parentheses is to be worked as part of the whole pattern, it's not them new beginning. I may try it that way and see what happens. When I tried to look at what that would do on yours, it broke my brain. I also think #10 thread would have been better. It surely would have been easier in your sweet finger! Oh my! That is gonna be sore. I have seen women wrap cloth tape on the tip of that finger when using a little hook. That might help, too! A for effort. You might look up the rules for how parentheses work inside the pattern. Love you!!!❤
oh goodness, just watching this made my finger sore in empathy for yours - my middle finger takes a beating because I also have a scar right where the crochet hook hits everytime, so my go are the narrow band aids so your finger tip is still open to grip and feel the crochet work. I remember my gran and my aunty Joan having anti-macassars on their furniture and both my dad and uncle used Brylcreme in their hair - mm I wonder if thats why high backed chairs went out of fashion ??
I love that stitch pattern. I never liked working with that fine of a thread. I normally just use crochet cotton #10, and the hook is recommended. Most of the doilies I made are a little bigger but turn out beautiful. Also, the bigger hook is less painful on the finger.
I was thinking it was straight diamond filet, I know how you feel I also crochet and sew till daylight but well done for getting where you did, I couldn't have done that. Hoping your son is keeping better ❤
I was looking for a daisy maker, have not found one yet (afforable in Germany) . Lucky you.That thin jarn would drive me nuts, respect again for your patients.
Hello! They still make size 10 knitting cotton in the UK today and it is recommended with a size 6 or 1 m.m. crochet hook. I would recommend using a thin sock yarn. Also, since it is a reprinted older pattern, some instructions may be left out or it could just be the instructions for a pattern to repeat to your desired length. I work with a lot of small crochet hooks, ( steel 12- 14) and the only thing I can say is your fingers get used to being picked and jabbed. Try using a small band-aid to protect your finger tip. Hope you feel better. I used to own almost a thousand crochet and needlework patterns ( sadly lost because of a move) and I'm trying to remember if you're pattern rings a bell. I would try the number 6 crochet hook and even a cotton crochet thread of size 10. Would you believe I once had a pattern for a dining room tablecloth that was to be made in size 100 thread ( picture sewing thread) and a steel size 14 crochet hook! Love your videos.
Could use the flame yarn with a green and white and do something Christmas themed. Or mix it with greens and browns and yellows for fall. Your mystery may not have been solved but that thread is a gorgeous color!❤
Idk if it's been mentioned but I'd you haven't frogged it, you could use it for ribbon/lace. It would make for a nice border on a birthday card or rose on a wire stem? I'm sure there's many other things it could be used for as well. Have a great day, hope your finger feels better.
The instructions say at the very start to use #10 or #12 thread. #10 is bedspread cotton usually. I use #40 for tatting. I use a #7-#10 steel crochet hook with #10 cotton.
Modern sizes and weights are not the same as early Victorian sizes and weights, I have many videos on this , It's really interesting, 140 ch with #10 cotton would have put this piece at nearly 2 feet wide if not right at 2 feet , which would have been way too big for what the piece is, Im pretty confident I was very close to the size thread needed, I once made a mystery video with size #60 thread that started with about 140 chain and it was for a wrist cuff, It was so pretty! :)
My mom had a small crochet needle go through her finger when she was around 8 and still learning to crochet. My great grandma was hardcore and an amazing tatter, crocheter and seamstress. I guess my mom wasn't big on crochet after that.😨
I have been working on motifs from Beeton's Book of Needlework. They are crocheted for doilies, but I am working them for something else. Some of the motifs are easy, some are so difficult, and I am convinced one or two are written wrong.
Wow, I can handle lace yarn once in a while, but thread type yarn, no way. You have cajones to do that, I am doing SIrin's Atlas; as part of a group and oh my that has given me some Angst, even after crocheting 55 years. I cant bear to watch this. It gives me the willies. I have had some patterns hurt my hand especially if the yarn is a bleeping nightmare. I just heard some call doilies as gargoylies. Sounds appropriate to me. I skipped along to watch in fast mode and it is painful to watch. I wonder what it would have been like in dk or sport weight?
First lines of instruction say “work back and forth”. Since it is written after the chain 45 in the pattern are we supposed to start edge with two rows dc possibly? If intended as a directory note I would expect it to be written after materials section. ??? To me it looks like fillet crochet Diamond pattern.
When I was in Elementary mother was crocheting with a small hook for whatever she was crocheting n somehow got the head of about a size 8 steel hoook under the skin in the quick in the skin part by the joint of her thumb. Looked pretty painful n weird. Took a few days for her thumb to feel ok but i don't recollect blood. Just something horrid to consider. Wasn't a big fan of any crochet hook smaller than a zero. Usually I stuck to good ol g hook n 4ply wintuk....
And for those who don't know, I just researched and it is that cloth or doily that protects the head or arms of the chair! I think Corinna mentioned that, but it didn't really register in my mind 😅
Hi, glad to hear about James doing better. Prayers answered. And I have to say I loved your little tubberware container for your mystery picks. I thought it was very vintage ❤. This little bowl beautiful but I think some of that swirling action is missing😅.Also give retro claude a watch re: daisy maker. Fabulous. Love your videos, hope things continue to go well going forward. You da best!

We used to have them also ,I remember seeing them on train seating also
Thanks for the info. I didn't know what that was.
I wished I had had this about nine years ago as someone used to come to our house and sit in my recliner chair with oily hair.
Thank you, the things ladies done to allow their men to stay polished 😂
Women always making sure men don’t make a mess of things. 😂

Blessings on you and your family.
My grandmother also used a finger sleeve! You are correct, people who were making doilies and such back then used one frequently.
Could you do this for any finger if you have issues with it (the yarn or thread) catching on dry/cracked skin?
I can see a nice triangular pattern forming. An anti-Macassar goes on the headrest of a chair to prevent a greasy stain from a gentleman’s hair.
In all my years, I've never suffered a crochet injury; knitting injuries, yes, once I switched to the good needles. Steel points stay sharp, that's all I can say, and I now have Band-Aids in every project bag. Give your finger a few days to recover, and we'll see you in the next video.
Hello Corrina, don't beat your self up you always give it your best. All of us would have given up long before now. Looking forward to your next video as always, I so enjoy them.❤
That's fiddly work right there. Sometimes I'll put a little piece of duct tape on the one finger to take the punches of a tiny hook.
Im 12 and ive been crocheting for 2 years now, im at an expert level and i just love history so your channel is like an early Christmas gift 😅❤😊
Yay! I’m so glad the winder made it safe! 💖
Oh indeed! , Im looking forward to playing with it for sure :)
Do you know where I can get one ?? Or what the technical word is for what it's called ??
@@Teerae11Other names for the nostepinne are: nøstepinne, nostepinde, yarn stick, yarn ball winder.
@@aquawoelfly thank you !!

I was just thinking, in times gone by, "besides" could mean "in addition to", although I don't know if that makes any more sense in this pattern. 😊
Retro Claude on yt shows,how to use the Daisy maker.Thanks for the wonderful time to share with you.
Yes she's made hundreds and slowly attaching them into a garment
Back in the day (1960s) i used to see daisy afghan kits everywhere. I'm assuming the flower maker winder was part of the kit.
@@melodied4314 There are instructions from the 1940s that show the daisy maker.
Ouch! Sorry about your sore finger! Very interesting pattern, never heard of that!! So thankful Justin is better and you felt like more mysteries!! ❤
Omg girl.... I love you. You get me giggling every time. You are awesome
the pattern is pretty!! I could never see enough to use such a small thread or hook.
I've never even heard of the anti-macassar and appreciate learning about it. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing the history very interesting. Concerning the crochet, it was fun trying you did your best. 😊

Can you wear a Thimble to protect your fingers? Love your show!
I have my great grandma's Daisy Maker.
But it has a lovely subtle triangle pattern to it :)
Hello! They still make size 10 knitting cotton in the UK today and it is recommended with a size 6 or 1 m.m. crochet hook. I would recommend using a thin sock yarn.

You have to make a video on how to use the daisy maker please I would love to learn how to make one
The instructions say at the very start to use #10 or #12 thread. #10 is bedspread cotton usually. I use #40 for tatting. I use a #7-#10 steel crochet hook with #10 cotton.

When you stretch the work you can see the up and down triangle pattern.
If you have time, you should do a Live Mystery Pattern. I just spent all of the 2 chain beside the pattern trying not to talk to you.
If you squint your eyes at 26.55 it makes a triangular pattern.
Wow, I can handle lace yarn once in a while, but thread type yarn, no way. You have cajones to do that, I am doing SIrin's Atlas; as part of a group and oh my that has given me some Angst, even after crocheting 55 years. I cant bear to watch this. It gives me the willies. I have had some patterns hurt my hand especially if the yarn is a bleeping nightmare. I just heard some call doilies as gargoylies. Sounds appropriate to me. I skipped along to watch in fast mode and it is painful to watch. I wonder what it would have been like in dk or sport weight?
First lines of instruction say “work back and forth”. Since it is written after the chain 45 in the pattern are we supposed to start edge with two rows dc possibly? If intended as a directory note I would expect it to be written after materials section. ??? To me it looks like fillet crochet Diamond pattern.
When I was in Elementary mother was crocheting with a small hook for whatever she was crocheting n somehow got the head of about a size 8 steel hoook under the skin in the quick in the skin part by the joint of her thumb. Looked pretty painful n weird. Took a few days for her thumb to feel ok but i don't recollect blood. Just something horrid to consider. Wasn't a big fan of any crochet hook smaller than a zero. Usually I stuck to good ol g hook n 4ply wintuk....
Last vid gone on a u g 8
Wow is that thin thread. How do you even see that?;😮
We have some macanrs my great grandma made!
I have a few Vintage knitting books. Do you know how I can get rid of them
Beside meaning 'in addition to' I'm guessing!
I was watching you last vid & came back to it… can’t find it… s a d
I love the idea of fine knits and crochet work but my hands are decidedly middle-aged and tell me it's worsted weight or go home.
Now the next mystery: What the heck is an 'Anti-macassar'?!
And for those who don't know, I just researched and it is that cloth or doily that protects the head or arms of the chair! I think Corinna mentioned that, but it didn't really register in my mind 😅
Diamond pattern?
I'm thinking Filet crochet
I don't forward the video or read comments as I like to try and guess, and I'm guessing Filet crochet
Yay ☺️
It looks like it might be a diamond pattern.❤

Hi, glad to hear about James doing better. Prayers answered. And I have to say I loved your little tubberware container for your mystery picks. I thought it was very vintage ❤. This little bowl beautiful but I think some of that swirling action is missing😅.Also give retro claude a watch re: daisy maker. Fabulous. Love your videos, hope things continue to go well going forward. You da best!

Oh gosh! Don't hurt yourself for mystery crochet. It's not worth it.😅

A for effort.
Definitely not wise to craft when tired
