Weldon's Third Series

This time we have 47 items and only 38 illustrations. Some of the patterns without photos include more common things they would make like baby boots, a shawl and some mats. Others seem a little more complicated but there is probably a general shape that they're familiar with like the Petticoat for a Child of Two and a Child's Petticoat with Bodice.

Here are some of the patterns that I think are fun.
There are several hats in this series including a Pretty Hat for a Baby Boy, a Bonnet for a Baby and the ones show below; the Bective Cap, the See-Saw Cap, the Gentleman's Smoking Cap and the Boy's College Cap. I considered making the Smoking Cap but I thought it might turn out to be more of a basket than a useful hat.​

Speaking of baskets there are a few baskets/bags in this series. The Spill Case is described as a "pretty novelty to work for bazaars or presents." There's a Fancy Work Basket done in thread with large ribbons. But, my favorite is the Bag for Knitting. It says it's perfect for knitters because it will hold any size needle. It has openings on the side to accommodate the needles and, I assume, so you can easily pull out your needles for personal defense. I'm assuming that they suggest using cherry colored wool because it will hide the blood stains more easily.​

This Tippet Worked in Point Muscovite was an interesting combination of a shoulder cape with a muff attached by ribbons.

For next week's project, I'm going to attempt one of the patterns with no photo again. It's called "Cloud" and is described as a light and elegant wrap. This is one of the bigger things I'll make from the Weldon's Series. The finished size is about 1 1/2 yards plus an edging.  We'll see if it's really is light and elegant!
