Netting in Magazines - Peterson's Magazine (1880-1898)

Even though I found all the issues between 1880 and 1889 available on-line, there were several issues of Peterson's Magazine that did not have any netting patterns or projects.  Those were:

• 1882 (Vol. 81-82)
• 1883 (Vol. 83-84)
• 1884 (Vol. 85-86)
• 1885 (Vol. 87-88)
• 1889 (Vol. 95-96)

I decided to also include 1890-1898, when the magazine was no longer published, since there were only two issues I was able to find online for that time period.  I could not find following years and volumes:

• 1890 (Vol. 97-98)
• 1892 (Vol. 102)
• 1893 (Vol. 103-104)
• 1894 (Vol. 105-106)
• 1895 (Vol. 107-108)
• 1896 (Vol. 109-110)
• 1897 (Vol. 111-112)
• 1898 (Vol. 113-114) 

The issues that had netting between 1880 and 1898 are:

This is the last of the magazines I know of that contain netting and are available on-line.  I am very grateful to those libraries and organizations that have made these older books and magazines accessible to the public.  

I was recently reminded that KnitHeaven has several vintage netting patterns listed.

If you know of a source for other books or magazines that are available on-line, please let me know in the comments below.

I finally found time to do some netting this week and was able to finish the doily I started several weeks ago.  I called it Swan and made the original back in 1987 for one of my brothers-in-law and his wife when they got married.  Back then I did not have a digital camera and so was only able to get a photocopy of part of the doily.

Now I have a view of the entire doily.  It is about 16 inches in diameter.
