As abstract drawings, rendered in colored pencil, they're quite lovely things (as are darns themselves!), but understanding each drawn line and loop as representing a thread I think makes them even better. Pretty subtle, and my photos don't help at all, but uncommon to find and pretty special feeling. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e 8 1\/2\" x 6 1\/2\", 15 leafs, 13 all or partially filled; pages with drawings are pictured, though I've not photographed all pages with writing (in Dutch). Very good condition but for the back cover being nearly detached--cleanly torn along the fold\/staple binding. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"critical EYE Finds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48167250067710,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/5022\/1382\/files\/IMG_2656.png?v=1778076893","url":"https:\/\/www.criticaleyefinds.com\/products\/early-20th-century-dutch-notebook-with-colored-pencil-darning-diagrams-and-notes","provider":"critical EYE Finds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
