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!!!

Vintage or Antique?

Lately, I have been obsessed with vintage crochet and crafts on ebay! There is really cool used tools available.  And some really great sellers out there, too!

I'm going to try and start sharing my finds right here! On my blog! So follow along if you like and we'll see where this 

takes us! 

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

And chose the butterfly pattern :)

Hoping to complete my butterfly 

soon, 

hope to see you there!

My latest hat?!

I thought I was going to do my fishing hat over, well I guess I have a hard time sticking to one pattern. Even that got massively altered. 

Next one I did was a baby sun hat and everyone loved it so much, think I'm going to try to do it over. And write it down! 

Steve is still wanting a fishing hat, he really liked the one I already did but the poor guy has a little head and it looked funny on him after I washed and blocked it. But when my friend, Candace put it on She looked so darn cute in it, I gave it to her, she loved it and I didn't even know her birthday was only a couple days away!!!

Well, anyway here is a picture of the baby hat that I am going to do over cause some friends want one! 

    

Next one I plan on taking the Fpdc all the way down cause I'm not real happy with it looking all uneven! 

Thanks you for taking time to look! Feel free to comment! Really enjoy getting feedback!
