Hard Crochet!!!

I got this book Hard Crochet by  Mark Dittrick and it was love at first sight! Only thing is trying to find yarn that he used!!!

But he goes into so much detail, I/you could make your own patterns effortlessly. I miss days of 5 page instructions, when you actually learn something from it!

  

I want to make this hat for Steve!!

1956 Crochet in 2013

I did it I finished my butterfly! Original pattern called for tatting thread which is thinner than size 10 cotton but I wanted a large butterfly! So with a size 9 steel hook and size 10 cotton thread, I done it! And I love it!!! Hoping to incorporate it in the back of a vest! The pattern is very good from this book! 

  

Hope you like!!!

takes us! 

So to start off,I have bought this booklet on ebay:

Hoping to complete my butterfly
