Historical Knitting & Crochet question:

How old is the usage of Blocking Pins* ?

Presumably it's tied to the invention and popular usage of rust proof pins - so somehow tied to Victorian Era Industrialisation ? - but this is hard for me, a non Historian to research.

[* Blocking Pins are groups of pins that today usually have plastic handles but can also be made with wooden handles]

SQUEAL! Just acquired another hair wreath! It's another restoration project but look at those gorgeous wool flowers and the paper quilling around the Virgin Mary. This will be the eighth piece in my momento mori collection - six wreaths, one brooch, and one first class saint's relic. What a gorgeous piece of craft. I pick it up on the 5th and I'm ecstatic. #GothsOfMastodon #crafthistory #momentomori
