THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO THREAD CROCHET ($9.95) |
"Everything you need
to know about crocheting with thread." Well, probably not everything! The
first 6 pages are basic crochet instructions, and then there are 25
patterns most of which come from previous LA publications: bookmarks (a
pineapple one is also shown in symbol crochet!), edgings, ponytail bands,
snowflakes, baby set, basket, hat pincushion, sachet, fans coaster, Bible
cover, pineapple pillow, square doily, round doily, tablecloth (motifs),
filet dresser scarf, v-neck pullover, and vest. All made in size 10
(bedspread weight) cotton. |

99 LITTLE DOILIES ($16.95) by Patricia Kristoffersen.
|
Another
wonderful set of designs from Trish, more of her textured doilies in sizes
from 4-1/2" to 9-1/2", round and oval. 44 of the designs are brand new and
55 have been previously published in LA2874 and LA2966. All of these are
definitely "doilies" and not motifs with an edging! These are a great way
to try your hand (hook?) at Trish's elaborate patterns, and you could even
use a heavier weight yarn and end up with a great heavy hot pad or plant
doily. All are shown in size 10, bedspread weight, cotton. |

treetoppers (for a table and floor-size tree), 4 are icicles, 1 snowflake
chain (a "drop" of snowflakes with a crystal at the bottom), 2 beaded
garland, 1 snowflake garland, 1 tree skirt for a table-size tree, and 1
filet tree skirt for a full-size tree. All are made with size 10,
bedspread weight, thread. |

DECORATIVE PILLOWS ($6.00) by Anne Halliday. |
Eleven wonderful ways
to practice stitches and play with unusual yarns without breaking the
budget! Pillow sizes range from 14" to 18" and each pattern has
instructions for a gauge swatch (great!). Patterns include: Cozy Checks,
Diamond Bobbles, Charming Clusters, Cable Comfort, Traditional Mosaic,
Bobbled Beauty, Classic Herringbone, and Simply Charming - all in worsted
weight yarn. Plus Variegated Tweed and Handsome Herringbone, both in bulky
weight yarn. All of these patterns would be very suitable for afghans,
after you decided you like the stitch pattern and would be willing to put
in the time for a whole afghan it the stitch, and many of these would be
very suitable for multiple-strand afghans. |

LA3249 ROSE COTTAGE AFGHANS ($6.50) by various designers.
|
I think
perhaps the "Rose Cottage" title refers more to the "cottage" look of the
afghans because there are no rose patterns in here. The 7 patterns
include: Gentle Place, a geometric motif in 3 colors; Serene Moments,
all-over design with post stitch in 1 color; Quiet Refuge, fisherman-look
in 1 color with post, popcorn, and twist stitches; Tranquil Retreat, large
motifs (8-1/4") with a "circle in a square"; Simple Times, wonder textured
in 1 color, shown on cover; Restful Space, starflower circle-in-a-square
motif in 2 colors; and Peaceful Interval, an all-over design in 1 color
with a deep edging design. All are made in worsted weight yarn.
