SUMMARY- This is mostly crochet with six token tatted Bridal edgings, a page each of knitted, filet, church filet, hairpin, and monogram medallions. I love these old needlework books, but really wish they gave the designer's names. Cecilia Vanek had them print a ruler at the bottom of as many of the pages as possible in this issue, so that you could measure how much yardage you'd made as you went.
