A very simple pattern from Panda Crochet!, which works out surprisingly large. The yarn was left over from some baby set I made.
Very quick to make from a simple pattern at Mielke’s Fiber Arts. I added a pompom to finish off. It fits Sridhar nicely, although he originally refused to use it. It came in handy for his February trip to New Delhi.
I’ve searched the net, but it appears The Potholder Lady has gone into cyber-hibernation and now only be found in archives. Scroll down the page for a peep at her original Pinwheel Placemat, but no pattern. Sorry! 😦
If anybody stumbles across TPL again, please let me know.
ETA March 30 2008: Even webarchive no longer has The PotHolder Lady’s site. Which is a great pity. She had some lovely patterns.
You can get the pattern for this doily from FreePatterns.com under ‘Dazzling Doilies’. You will need to register and sign in to access the patterns, but it’s worth it. They have lots of lovely patterns. I haven’t got around to making the other two in this particular set.
This one is made with nylon(?) thread about the same gauge as worsted weight yarn, I think. The pattern is from Crochet ‘N’ More.
I’ve been looking for a crochet pattern for a sweater for ages, then I saw That Crochet Guy had some really droolworthy cocoons. After searching high and low I found the pattern on Brown Sugar, Ltd. My mom wants me to make one for my sister who travels a bit and so might find it useful. But I think I will test it on myself first 😉
This pattern can be adopted with other stitches quite easily, I think. Sssh, I might actually create something!
The basis for this three-colour granny square doily is the basic granny square, the pattern for which you can get at JPF Crochet Club for example.
I hereby disclaim ALL ORIGINALITY of pattern. I thought I’d better rush to disclaim all originality! My conscience was pricked by a kind comment left on my last blog by Drew Emborsky who used a six-letter word starting with ‘t’ and ending with ‘t’.
If you want to see some real ‘t—-t’ do visit his site! I guess I haven’t been clear enough in my posting, and people just might get the wrong idea about my abilities. 🙂
Here is a new thread project I started, a Ribbed Beret pattern for my nephew who is going to be celebrating his 5th birthday soon. If you read the original pattern, I’m sure you’ll decide I’m crazy, because the yarn and gauge and stuff are totally different, but hey, what do you do when you live in a different country and climate yet are bitten by the crochet bug? You adapt!
