It's highly precise, unusual indeed for that period. They gave also the right measure for bare threads and picots!

rosetta
Pattern is from an old Italian pubblication, "Nuovo manuale elementare dei lavori delle dame secondo le più recenti variazioni della moda", 1868. It is free in Google books.

The same rosette is in the "Beeton's Book of Needlework"(1870), fig.12 -"circle in tatting", and there are others patterns in common. It is interesting that the shuttle showed in the Italian version is a flat shuttle.

This is spectacular - and your colours brighten it up even further !!! Love it
ReplyDeleteThose look great!! And I love the brightly colored one!!! :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful to have an old pattern that gives a good amount of guidance! I like your colours too. The word 'Rosetta' always sets off an ear worm for me. Now I'm going to be hearing 'Rosetta are you better, are you well, well, well?" Which is a really ridiculous song!
ReplyDeleteAn old pattern given new life, they look fabulous especially the coloured one
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for your nice comments :-f
ReplyDeleteRosa or Rosetta is also an Italian name for a girl :)
So pretty, Nin!
