Tulips

Jewel Box & Doily

Knit Blouse

Cute small tulips to sew from cloth. You can place them in a pot or use them to decorate. A very special item is this jewel box and doily. The jewel box is also crocheted and attached to the doily. Insert a small dish to keep the shape and place on the lid. For summer days, this is a lovely blouse to knit with drawstring top, light, sexy cool.

Article - Versatile & Fun Ways to Use Potholders

With a little imagination and creativity, pot holders can be transformed into lovely, useful gifts. With so many different varieties, you can create something custom made for any person or occasion. Use embroidery, sequins, ribbons and other trims to add to your “potholder”. Make with yarn or thread to vary the size.

New Collection - Potholders Books

Each book is listed individually but you can save on a large collection of vintage potholder crochet pattern books. Click each picture to see the individual book or Click Here to see details of the Collection.
 

New Collection - Afghans

Many vintage afghan books in PDF format have been added. Some of these old designs are lovely, whether you enjoy knitting, crocheting or embroidering afghan stitch. I particularly love the Fleisher book from 1937, the patterns are so far ahead of their time, almost psychedelic. There are also Navajo patterns (Jeannette Styles 1946 and Star #154). My favourite is the Jeannette Styles 1946 book which has a lot of information helpful to anyone who wishes to try to custom make their afghan or try variations.
