Making sense of vintage knitting terms

Posted on April 16, 2018September 21, 2021 by Jean

I’ve never seen patterns from the 1800 hundreds. The oldest patterns I have are from the 1940’s and the knitting terms then are pretty much the same as what we use now.

Neele sizes

Posted on May 21, 2017October 9, 2021 by Jean

How small do knitting needles go? I’ve only gone as small as a number 1, but they go to 00000. Once place I read they go to 8 zero’s. Can’t imagine what they would be like. Below the first link is to a chart of needle sizes and how they differ from country to country and some times a manufacturer makes a difference.
