- Can you tell how long it took me to make the intro by how much my flowers wilted? This time, I'll knit, sew, tat and crochet a regency reticule inspired by Bridgerton. Is it a Reticule or a Ridicule - or maybe a ridiculous reticule?

Engineering knits is a place for people who enjoy all kinds of vintage and antique crafts - from sewing to knitting, crochet to embroidery I like to try it all. I definitely have a preference for historical fibre crafts, and it is my dream to one day make an entire outfit from sheep to sweater. I hope you enjoy watching me and my favorite companion, Nutella, struggle through some fascinating projects! - Jak na to + styl
I inherited a reticule from my great-grandmother. It's silk and has aged into a lovely ivory color. It went with me to all my proms and formal dances as well as my wedding. It held the emergency repair kit for my gowns, a linen handkerchief my grandmother crocheted an edge on, a compact, and a lipstick.
Sounds lovely 😍
@@ujika8164 It is.
I think what really would have made the initials stand out is if you had either dyed the letters or had used a different color thread at the point of the initals to make them stand out. Perhaps a gold thread would have looked really good.
Yes, we both like your new sweater. That top button is slick. I was impressed with the editing though. Very good film making flow. It was breezy and fun to watch. Lots more cut scenes than usual and good music match up. Like something from tv. Good job!
Love the 1940 rainbow sweater! Thanks for posting the pattern.
What a cute reticule.
Yt
I like the obscured filet crochet-- it is mysterious, and if people can make out the letters, they will wonder what they stand for!
My daughter's third grade class did a mock Oregon trail walk and so I knitted all the girls a period specific shawl. I was so intrigued by the old patterns and how they were written with different symbols and names for stitches.
Oh yeah! As someone who knits knowing what to do even for really old things is so much easier. But when it comes to old crochet? It's like everything back then was backwards and upside down. Basically our slip stich is their normal stitch so a double is a single crochet. Then onwards like that. It's so confusing. 😅
@@mariawhite7337 sounds like the British terms used for crochet. I wouldn't say the old knitting terms are easier to understand. The terms were completely different names. If what you're talking about is like the British terms, they are just off by one stitch and actually make sense. Single crochet - you pull through once, double- you pull through twice, etc.
I had never heard of filet crochet before this video, and you've inspired me to try it out. Like the crazy crafter I am, I've created a filet crochet pattern that's a portrait of my dog! It's about a yard wide square and I'm on row 3 of 140, wish me luck! 😆
It's interesting that your first idea involved using netting. The name "reticule" likely comes from the Latin word for net, "reticulum". A Roman gladiator who fought using a net and trident was called a "retiarius", and the snake with a net-like pattern on its back is a reticulated python.
The reticule was probably, in It's early forms, a net bag, later adapted to use different fabrics.
In the end, your knitted mesh fits the history of the reticule nicely, and the finished product is beautiful!
Nutella, sweater, reticule 💖 I enjoyed your video 🙂
I totally love that idea of combining different techniques. The medallion idea is great.
Though, since I have a weird aversion against filet crochet, I would replace it with a cross stitched or needlepoint medallion.
Thank your for giving me that great inspiration for decorating an otherwise sewn piece.
I recently discovered your channel and I'm sorry I didn't find you two years ago
Clearly this bag was made to carry current projects when you're on the go. 😁
I just found this video by chance and oh... my goodness... I love you. Such a kindred spirit. And your sewing machine??? I gasped aloud!
That Rainbow sweater is a dream!
Yes, love your 1940s sweater and the sweet bag!
I was just staring at your sweater when you pointed out that it was new! It’s so beautiful!
Your reticule is so cute! I am very envious of your skill with yarn!
I LOVE that you made an item showcasing your multiple crafts! and that sewing machine was wild - tfs!
I just found your channel. So far, I love what I see. I love multiple crafts such as, knitting, crochet, beading, tatting/macrame, especially sewing, painting, sketching, and many others. I love your crochet samples, great idea.
What great timing, I just made a reticule of my own too! It was handsewn using the 'Frog Reticule' pattern from the American Duchess book and is for holding my knotting shuttle and WIPs, plus things for teaching myself tatting since you reminded me that I've been meaning to try it out for ages, lol.
While I'm very happy with how mine turned out this has given me so many ideas on how to decorate it even more, because why not go nuts huh? 😆
I love the sweater with the pointy stitches! And the reticule is awesome, I'm now pondering making a dice bag in that basic shape.
Love the new sweater! I couldn't even wait for the video to finish, it's amazing.
Reticule is lovely also, no surprise. 🥳
Loved it all. The jersey (sweater), the reticle, me crocheting watching you, while you watch Jimmy. I found one of my Mum's old tatting shuttles and had a go.
How sweet and ingenious reticule! Your Nutella is also sweet!
Piecework magazine did an article years ago about knitted, beaded purses... amazing work. I used to make little beaded amulet bags and sold them but I didn't try to make pictures.
One of the tricks I learned was 3 DC per block. It makes a tighter smaller picture. AS you said in another video the hardest thing about Filigree crochet is keeping the work tight so it doesn't pucker
Loved your sweater design, your puppy and the hand bag.
What a lovely reticule. Very creative.
Your sweater is so nice. Really love the design and your dog is so adorable.
That sweater is incredible 😍
What a nice sweater! I really love your idea's. And it's nice to see such a bag come together. Love your fiber arts
Omg tatting while watching Welsh Viking! I love tatting , I’ve been doing it on and off for like 10 years and I’ve ne er found someone else my age who does it!
I'm on love with you beautiful sweater.
Oh, I LOVE your blouse!
Fantastic podcast again ! Thank you
That turned out beautifully!
OMG, she's watching The Welsh Viking!
Aw! It is beautiful!
It turned out great! And the surprise cameo of Jimmy was a pleasant double-take
My grandmother told me of her mother and aunts and friends maybe sitting in the backyard of the family's house tatting while they "visited" and I think there are still some pieces of that tatting around.
love the sweater and the color combination!! the reticule turned out lovely too.
This is just wonderful. I love the sweater, and I am in awe of your multi-fiber arts reticule! Lovely video.
The sweater looks like it has a lot of teeny bunnies on it :D
Lovely demonstration, thank you.
Awe, this was such a cute project!
wow...The reticule looks so elegant! wonderful design and make
What a lovely video. I enjoyed watching this immensely. 😊❤️❤️
Beautiful - congratulations
It’s beautiful as is your rainbow sweater, well done😊✌️🧶
Lovely!
Fantastic!
I’ve never seen tatting before! This is so cool, thanks for sharing!
Love everything you do
And your sewing machine
Omg
Nice job. I love all the fiber crafts and by the way, netting is a beautiful, enjoyable and dainty needle art. I began netting in the 1970's. Finding patterns is difficult but rewarding when I finally get them. Thank you for the video.
this is soo cool!
Very fun and interesting video, thanks
Haha you got me with what was inside :D I was expecting some knitting related tools
All textile arts channels should have cute pupper mascots!
i was browsing ravelry while watching and came across the rainbow sweater pattern lol! I really need to get around to making a 40's style yoked sweater, they're so flattering!
Wow! This turned out really good 👍 Love the lace overlay with that beautiful blue. You are so talented!! Thank you for sharing this with us.
Sending best wishes from Down Under ❤️❤️🌺🌸💕🇦🇺😎
Love it. I may need to make myself one. I have a green sateen I can use and a velvet as well
I would love to see how you assemble your reticule. I love it! I can never figure out the drawstring part. Especially with a three sided one.
I made a beaded reticule using a peyote stitch. I don't know how historic it is but it turned out nice. I also mad a beaded art deco one too.
I just tried tatting!! Awkward, but I know it will get easier. Love seeing Nutella!
Sweet!
I think I would have done surface crochet for the letters, then it could be cursive and you wouldn't need to make a box space in the knit. It turned out really lovely. Definitely something I would be happy to carry around with me. It's been a long time since I've done any tatting, but I remember how. I might have to make one. I think I might add some doily like crochet patterns in the corners too, that could be really nice. I donno, maybe I'm overcomplicating it and my changes wouldn't be as nice in reality as in my head. Surface crochet could also be used to outline the letters if you'd like them to stand out a little more.
For those of you making period specific ridicules, you can't use tatting or crochet until after 1840s. They weren't invented. You could use filet knitting and tambour lace.. Tabour lace is a crochet chain stitch done on fabric to outline a design or chain stitch filling in space of the design. You would either use embroidery, or embroidery laces like netted, Or other embroidered like netting lace or bobbin lace, hardanger, or applique. Your finished design on your ridicule was very pretty!
I was purling a row while watching the video and when you kept saying yarn forward, knit two together, you can guess what happened. Love your jumper and the reticule. I could never cut cut my work, I'm not that brave.
I’m fairly new to your channel and I really do enjoy your content. The new sweater is great, maybe I have to knit a similar one. Liebe Grüße. 🙌🏼
Blocking the filet crochet pieces may have helped them stand out better! With that said, I have yet to figure out how to make filet crochet designs very clear and distinct the way they are in all the photographs I've seen... not sure what I'm doing wrong there. I've had more success with a corner-to-corner "filet" style that uses fans instead of straight stitches - there's more difference between the open and closed spaces so the design is much more distinct. Regardless, a beautiful project! The tatted border really makes it, IMO.
What about touching up the letters with seed beads? The sparkle will make it stand out and it would be an easy addition without having to take anything apart
Off topic, but I love your nail polish color
I have just watched the first two seasons of Bridgerton and I used to make these little purses for my grandmother was teaching me to tat but she always found containers to starch I’m sure if you did that starting and pinning before assembling your letters would be much easier to read I never did get very good at tatting but my grandmother did beautiful tatting
Beautiful. I wonder for the letters if the letter stitches could be tighter and closer and the border looser so it stands out more?
Have you seen those Victorian Chatelaines? They're so pretty and practical
Perhaps get some matching coloured thread or ribbon to the main bag and outline the letters?
As someone who has suffered back and neck pain from heavy shoulder strap handbags, I say BRING BACK POCKETS! BRING BACK THE RETICULE!
🙂
I found your channel about a year ago. I enjoy your content a great deal. I worry, though. Is your channel a gateway to knitting? Sigh. I already sew, crochet, embroider (badly, lol), and I'm learning to card weave, and spin yarn. I tried hat making and gave up. I don't have time to learn to knit! But I want a sontag shawl...sigh, this is how I get into every other craft.
Your sewing machine is so unique and intriguing. What should I look up to learn more about it?
beautiful result, you're very brave to cut your knitting like that! I would love to know where you got the letter charts from, for your crochet element?
Love the reticule! I especially love the machine - is it a Wilcox and Gibbs? I have a hand crank version!
I'm curious about font flexibility with this style of crochet (I'm completely unfamiliar with it). Is text in Comic Sans possible? Or some 8-bit pixel font--a weird mash of old and new.
Anyways, I both admire and appreciate the time and effort you put into, not only the projects you're making, creating these videos. Cheers!
How do you keep pet hair out of your work? Every winter i crochet an afghan. It keeps me warm while i make it, and it makes a pretty nice gift! I have a floofy siamese who insists on being in my lap at all times. When i finish any project i have to pull kitty fur out if the yarn! The cat is The Princess of Kitty Town aka the season's diamond so she's not giving up her spot in my lap no matter what.
The letters are easier to see at a distance!
Bridgerton makes my skin crawl.
You keep your tatting supplies, or spindle and fibre, or crochet project, or socks you're knitting... lol
I can imagine you making an early 1820s dress
hello, you are amazing.I would love to sit next to you and watching or knitting together. Love from Italy 🤗
I am learning tatting on CZcams University 😎. What size Needle and what thread are you using please?
It’s so scary to cut into your knitting! Fortunately, I haven’t had many projects that called for it. The reticule and your sweater both look great.
I had to laugh at myself a little because I didn’t catch on right away that what you were booping Nutella’s nose with were very small gauge knitting needles!
I always wanted to make a bag like this. Unfortunatley, I can do everything but sew! 😭
My mother called those little bags, Dorothy bags. She was born in 1916
when you sewed your lace to the filet 😱
Love your fur baby. What breed is he/she?
My aunt knit a dress for my mom in 1946. Would you like to have it? I'd love for someone who would appreciate the dress to have it.
Lovely!
