I know, I know. Who wants to knit a counterpane in this day and age?
One might better ask, who wants a stitch dictionary with ideas extracted from years and years' worth of 19th century magazines?
Answer: me.
But the pictures in this book are also giving me all kinds of great ideas about construction and the portability potential of knitting a zillion satisfyingly challenging but fast-to-finish squares to be sewn together at some later date.
Sorta makes me think I want to knit a counterpane.

Oh, wow! I'd like to knit Counterpanes!
I've had this book so long the pages are no longer hooked together, the counterpanes make great scarves - one set for each end and then as many as you want for the middle. I could'nt imagine trying to knit a king sized bedspread
