I have somehow ended up owning some vintage thread crocheted potholders. One of my favorites is this round white potholder with the pink satin ribbon laced every other row. It's a simple pattern, really, and I decided to document it by writing the pattern down. So I hauled out the stash of crochet thread, made a cuppa tea and started in on it. I have the general principle but haven't yet gotten it to lay truly flat.
One day I will, though, with perseverance.
It's lovely, but with the pretty ribbon, I'd be afraid to use it! Might get dirty ...
ReplyDeleteLovely! And to document the process even lovelier! That's a nice Irish green...are you Irish?
ReplyDeleteOh goodness! that is a lovely color green. My yarn work must be done with big yarn and big needles :)
ReplyDeleteYou are a very determined lady! Others will certainly benefit from all your hard work.
ReplyDeleteI could not use the ribbon, one, either.
I love that you're handwriting the directions! These days, we hardly hand write anything, do we?!
ReplyDeleteThose would make lovely mug mats! Christmas is coming.... ;-)
I'm impressed. Never could really 'read' crochet patterns - although I seem to do fine with knitting. Grand project.

What a talent to be able to look at a crocheted piece and figure out how to make it! (I didn't get the crochet gene.) And how Christmassy the color is.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely! Hopefully you will share it with us lazy ones when you get it right!

It will be worth the struggle when you are done *s*
