Stitch 'n' Starch began as a journey through history. Through great foresight of my grandmother, great aunts and my mom, numerous Victorian and Edwardian hand crafted items were passed down to me. The Victorian home held a plethora of knitted, embroidered, crocheted, tatted, woven ... well, all sorts of needlecrafted item. And most were on prominent display. My grandmother and great aunts did a lot of starching and I am fortunate enough to have their original patterns in that elegant, spidery handwriting of the day. Often, the number of items displayed was viewed as being akin to the very wealth and standing of the family in the community. We have attempted to design memories of those very same bygone eras and bring them into the world of modern day machine knitting. Each of the items you see in our pictures on this page were machine knit. The patterns are easy to follow and suitable for a wide variety of machines.

  

 All of our patterns are now in ELECTRONIC FORMAT! These are available in either WORD or PDF file. Purchasers will receive a URL for download upon payment. Please click the Books & Patterns link.
