Gong hay fat choy and happy year of the snake! I thought I’d use this as an excuse to crochet something I’ve been wanting to make for ages.

This week I come with another Victorian tutorial from 'The Housewife' (1886). It concerns making a pincushion from a horse brass.

I published my 'Make Your Own Digital Pattern' post, but I thought it was due an update now that I've found a FREE alternative.
