CROCHET & CRAFTS


In the fall of 1996, I began to crochet. I've been looking around the internet for crochet related pages and patterns, and I've been quite surprised at the wonderful things I've found! The first crochet project I started was an "Around the World" afghan. The first project I finished, however, was a dishcloth! If you like to look at the finished work of others, as I do, please check out my projects pages.

Around the World Afghan
This is the "Around the World" afghan.   It's a very simple pattern, but I'm still proud of it!  Mikey always has to be included in the pictures...Click on the photo to see a bigger, clearer one. (Summer 1997)

I like to make many different things, but favorites seem to be thread projects - doilies, fashion doll costumes..... I enjoy collecting vintage crochet books and thread. I really love working with the thread of the 50s (or earlier) era. Such beautiful colors and great quality - you don't always see that in the thread manufactured today.



  The CANcrochet group made this lovely afghan for me. The squares came from all over the globe. This is a gift I will always treasure and I can't thank my friends enough for it! My cat, Ashley, really enjoyed checking out all the squares, too. I could tell which ones came from cat households. :) Click on the photo to see a bigger, clearer one. (January 2000)


I have more pictures of my completed projects on my Crochet & Crafts Projects Pictures Page.
