Last Christmas I did some linen washcloths as gifts and they went down well. I enjoyed a book called The Cottage Garden Diaries, where a woman, not far from where I lived at the time, lived fir a year as a schoolteacher's wife from the 1700s. It was very illuminating. xxJacquihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01659012917888444554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7650649438155050655.post-26195310902388609782011-06-15T15:59:14.180-04:002011-06-15T15:59:14.180-04:00i feel guilty that i'm not already thinking of...i feel guilty that i'm not already thinking of and planning for christmas. i'm totally impressed at your planning and hard work already!amanda {the habit of being}https://www.blogger.com/profile/05612086956180841674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7650649438155050655.post-49051836037591923642011-06-15T15:55:25.897-04:002011-06-15T15:55:25.897-04:00Thanks for the link to the dishcloths, I need some...Thanks for the link to the dishcloths, I need some new ones soon, they really would make beautiful gifts.Soilihttp://thevillavanilla.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7650649438155050655.post-77122189434709040302011-06-15T13:45:28.371-04:002011-06-15T13:45:28.371-04:00There is nothing like a handknit dishcloth.

I have always thought I was born in the wrong time and should have been in the 1800's. I will definitely have to check this book out! <br />About the Noro yarn - it may have given me a hard time because I am a beginner. It probably wouldn't be like that for you. The other's in our class who had trouble were also more beginner types. I have even broken needles with how tight I sometimes knit. It is lovely to look at anyway! :)Janiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15008952811417807825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7650649438155050655.post-21509356190798522032011-06-15T13:31:37.795-04:002011-06-15T13:31:37.795-04:00Oh gosh.

A bummer that the book is disapointing as it sounds like it could have been an interesting experiment. There are elements of many past eras that make me think I would prefer to live at those times, but really, I'm happy where I am. The whole inequality of women thing is usually what makes a past era unattractive for me. :)cpcablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01613763468298831975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7650649438155050655.post-4996212114699777182011-06-15T10:35:52.736-04:002011-06-15T10:35:52.736-04:00Hmm I am intrigued.

These are her favorite.<br /><br />Thanks for the heads up on the book. Unless you tell us differently I won't go there.<br /><br />A mechanics shop eh? Nahh...

But there is so much in the way...teacher gifts, baby gifts, going away gifts, birthday gifts, etc. If only there were more hours in the day (or I just moved faster). Like Emily, I was thinking the books sounded a bit like Frontier House, too. I always felt that I was born in the wrong century, but now I'm not sure I could survive in the "olden days" (as DS calls it)...I'm such a lazy cream puff (with chocolate pudding in the middle, of course! ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7650649438155050655.post-81674374808198412922011-06-15T08:41:53.429-04:002011-06-15T08:41:53.429-04:00Have you ever watched 1940s House?

Very nice!<br /><br />The book sounds interesting. I often think I should have been born/raised decades earlier myself. From what you have said of the read thus far it almost sounds like the reaction of the author and his family are what a lot of families in the PBS series Frontier House (and the other series went through). They just went into it and did somewhat what was of the norm of the time and then when it didn't fit to their liking, they did what they wanted. I'm adding this to my reading list -- thank you!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14739995985714273663noreply@blogger.com
