Got a package from ebay today - SCOOOOORRRE!
I'll take pictures later, but I got a great selection of vintage 1970's patterns. Got a few iffy thread patterns (did anyone ever actually WEAR filet crochet collars after the 1790s?), and a book I already own (A Year of Afghans), but everything else is awesome.
I totally want to make the Granny Square Sampler Afghan in one of the books. I'm actually thinking of doing something like that for the kids now, since the squares in all the different yarns are coming out in such different sizes. The pattern has squares ranging from 5 inches to 12 inches, in all different colors.
Well, back to crocheting for my secret pal!
About Me
- Tiga
- I'm a 32 (Ack! How did that happen?) stay at home mom/housedaughter. I have one little girl, Ellie. We live with my wonderful Mom, otherwise known as Grammie, in the Tampa Bay area of Florida. I've been crocheting just since 2006 and I'm completely self-taught, although my grandmother crochets and critques my work from time to time. My great-grandmother, Oma, also crocheted and knitted, so it's in the genes! My mom, on the other hand, just figured out the difference between a knitting needle and a crochet hook. Sigh. But she's the only one in the house that can untangle a skein of yarn, so she has some affinity for the fiber!
