Second Crocheted Tablecloth

Posted in crochet, tagged , , , , on March 10, 2013| 2 Comments »

Tablecloth 2 CrochetI’ve been crocheting with cotton these last few weeks.  I like the feel of it.  This is the second tablecloth I have made.  This one started with a doily pattern that I found on Ravelry.com.  (You can see it here.)  Once I started with that pattern I couldn’t stop so I kept adding on to it and this is what happened.   Crocheting is a relaxing pastime for me.  I almost always have a hook and yarn in my hand when I sit to watch tv.  I credit my grandmothers for teaching me.  Granny taught me to chain when I was about six years old and later she showed me more stitches.  Then Big Mama taught me different patterns.  I’m so glad they took the time to teach a curious little girl how to do something they knew.  I think they would both have loved to see what I am doing with it today.

Mamie’s Tablecloth – A Free Pattern

Posted in crochet, tagged , , , , on March 5, 2013| 17 Comments »

SAMSUNGA few weeks ago on a Sunday afternoon I picked up a crochet hook and some cotton yarn and started playing.  This is what turned out.  I like experimenting with stitches to see if I can make it work.  SAMSUNGI am not a professional pattern writer so this is very basic.  You will need to join a round by slip stitching in the top of the first stitch.  Adjust to make it work.  I used Peaches and Crème 4-ply worsted cotton yarn.  It took about 26 ounces.
