3 crochet poodles



I like these. Did I already post them?

ebay, greengablessales, scanned vintage pattern, comes as a PDF file. $4.99.

Left side, third image down

This is odd. I guess the ebay seller had 8 pictures put together as one image. If you click the image you can see it in a larger format.

The one that interests me is the third one down on the left. I like the pattern of those circles, which could be pillows, placemats, cat beds, frisbees?...

I also like the colors of the top one a lot, should remember them for other projects.

Fleisher 1939 Afghan magazine













According to ebay seller kept4u, these afghans are from Fleisher Afghans, Vol. 58 pattern book. The 22 page book has a 1939 copyright by Fleisher Yarns, Inc. Most of the patterns in the book are crochet, there is only one knitting pattern. Patterns in the book include:
  • Delftware Afghan
  • Briarcliff
  • Duchess
  • Nantucket
  • French Brocade
  • Tapestry Bouquet
  • Knitted Ripple
  • Pine Tree
  • Autumn Leaf
I like the knit stitch on the pink one and the blue one is an interesting visual effect.

Baby Crochet Book




I can see making the baby jacket on the cover.

The book looks interesting.

Scanned pattern, on ebay from greengablessales.

Crochet sweater idea


This is from a vintage 70s crochet magazine, sold on ebay by kate e didit, who sellls these books a lot.

This sweater really the only pattern I likein the book, but maybe I can figure out how to make a sweater like this on my own.

I think this is pretty cool.

Its from a book called Join-As-You-Go Afghans (Paperback)
by Bobbie Matela (Author) that is put out by the Needlecraft Shop.

Daffodil Doily


This is another scanned crochet pattern sold on ebay. Seller is greengablessales.

These flower doilys (doilies?) intrigue me, though I really have no use for them.

Winnie! And some other dog in a tie.



This pattern was on ebay. The sellers "store" is called Annalaia Patterns and Designs. This is a scanned pattern, it seems she relists the items she has scanned often. Today it was $4.35.


I could learn a lot making this! And its cute.



The pattern to make this was on ebay, in a booklet of patterns "from Annie's Attic."

I'm bidding on the book - we'll see where that leads.

PS - I figured out the name of the book. Its called Year-Round Scraps Aplenty. Published by Annie's Attic.

Bert n' Ernie




I saw these on ebay, the seller makes them.

The seller is mak652, maybe they will be there again.

Windowpane Crochet Scarf


Windowpane Crochet Scarf



http://www.crochetme.com/issue_1/alt_windowpanes_scarf.html





This is a nice stitch.

Crochet Flower











From http://www.crochetme.com/irish-oranges. The mesh used for the shawl is also nice and another potentially useful technique to learn.

Another garland idea...

This corkscrew scarf is part of a 2 scarf pattern called "Cool Warmth" at www. crochetme.com.

It looks awfully easy! Like the crochet garland below, it too could be a home decoration.

In this pattern a size I crochet hook was used and the yarn was Tilli Tomas "Mogul" yarn which is wool, with glass beads on it. Available at www.dreamweaveryarns.com a site I want to explore too.

Corkscrew

Corkscrew LariatThe corkscrew is worked lengthwise and is formed by making large picots. The length is determined by the foundation chain.

Scarf shown is 60”.

Foundation: Make a chain the length you’d like your scarf to be.

Picot Edging: Ch 7, sc in 1st ch from hook, *ch 7, sc in next ch; rep from * to end of ch.

Fasten off and weave in ends.

Crochet Spiral Garland


This could be fun. I can imagine it in gold on a Christmas tree.
