It’s in my 1980s notebook, next to sourced patterns that made it into The New Carolingian Modelbook, but with no annotations.

But I’m a rotten kid, and I never finished out her design. I worked up this motif for a needlepoint bench cover my mom was going to make. She uses it for knitting, but it’s equally useful for stitching. Inspired by a yale (a heraldic splay-horned goat) appearing in various Sibmacher modelbooks of the late 1500s/early 1600s, she’s come up with a unicorn. It’s another The New Carolingian Modelbook excerpt.Īnother original pattern, but one by Elder Daughter Alex rather than me. This one’s original, but it was inspired by patterns appearing in in Niccolo Zoppino d’Aristotle’s Ensamplio di Lavori from 1530. Since then I’ve played with it, abstracting bits and compounding the base concept. I regraphed that pattern and included it in The New Carolingian Modelbook. The basic interlace that started this rumination was published in Giovani Andrea Vavasore’s Ensamplio di Lavori, first printed in Venice in 1532. I’ve used it both in stitching and knitting, although those projects predated on-line documentation. It appeared in The New Carolingian Modelbook. Like the lion above, this hare is from Johan Sibmacher’s Schon Neues Modelbuch of 1597. Once embroidered and once knit, in the Knot a Hat earwarmer band appearing on my knitting patterns page.Īlso from the Da Sera 1546 work referenced above, this pattern is included in The New Carolingian Modelbook, too. This one was charted up from a pattern appearing in Domenico Da Sera’s 1546 Opera Nova… You can find that entire work at Kathryn Goodwyn’s Flowers of the Needle.The astute will notice that I’ve used this pattern here twice.

Needless to say, it earned me some unwelcome attention later on, so it’s been retitled with a more generic name.Īnother The New Carolingian Modelbook excerpt.

Shortly after the first Harry Potter book became available in the US (and long before the movies), I released it in case folk wanted to knit Gryffindor sweaters as they are described in the book. I included this Sibmacher 1597 pattern in The New Carolingian Modelbook.

I explain source and dedication to SCA Clan Oldcastle in this post from February 2010. My redaction of an late 16th/early 17th century graphed pattern, charted from an extant museum artifact. They work well for counted embroidery including cross stitch and its variants lacis darned net, drawn or pulled thread work withdrawn thread work filet crochet knitting and double knitting tiles and mosaics, marquetry, and other crafts. Plain block unit graphs also appear in the embroidery pattern section. Reformatting and porting over 8+ years of material takes time! Block Unit Graphs (Well, mostly block units…)
