I still have the hooks, and some of the books, but haven't crocheted anything for years. This makes me itchy to do it again.Deb Shuckahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03439395710731341021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910448650038310463.post-92132552032043799752011-01-17T17:15:24.080-08:002011-01-17T17:15:24.080-08:00Oh Jo that is gonna be a work of art!

Does your round table have claw feet or a pedestal base? I wanna know so I can picture it too! Oh and I almost forgot a world with ciggies advertised everywhere you looked. ~LiliLilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03003968489244660242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910448650038310463.post-79669872357958389692011-01-17T15:55:05.009-08:002011-01-17T15:55:05.009-08:00The pineapple design is one of my favorites.

I always came back to it renewed and refilled with ideas and enthusiasm. <br /><br />I've done that tablecloth twice. I've always had a round table, glass with beautiful rattan swivel chairs. I love it!

I made one for the table round, one for the table with one leaf, and one for the table opened all the way with three leaves. I used Japanese paterns because they are all done in pictures and easy to follow. I've made three quilted cloths as the table is very old and needs protection from my husband's glasses of ice water that he tends to leave until too late and cause rings on the wood.Julie Fukudahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15704374750710761269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910448650038310463.post-21460863874406622522011-01-16T02:12:27.638-08:002011-01-16T02:12:27.638-08:00Looks like you are having fun!

Over the years I've tried and tried but I just can't seem to get the hang of it. I can do the stitches but the tension is the problem, it looks like the work of a particularly inebriated spider! Those designs are so lovely though - maybe I'll make one more attempt.........Rowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679130612798888266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910448650038310463.post-90767018230381963192011-01-15T20:16:01.128-08:002011-01-15T20:16:01.128-08:00I crocheted a doily in early 20's, long ago! ...I crocheted a doily in early 20's, long ago!

I think I might have seen it before, but I'm interested to know it's the pineapple design.<br /><br />As to me crocheting? No. But my sister is one of the best I've ever seen, and my grandmother was good, too. My sister crocheted an amazing afghan for me about ten years ago, and I adore it. She did a stitch that looks like those Irish fishermen's sweaters. That's what I told her I wanted so it would have a nautical look to it, and she accomplished it with flying colors, I might add. She crocheted it in white. <br /><br />I can't wait to see this in your home and to see what else you crochet.<br /><br />XO,<br /><br />Sheila :-)The Quintessential Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010105595059019883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910448650038310463.post-54188502106620923962011-01-15T19:49:43.319-08:002011-01-15T19:49:43.319-08:00Oh...very pretty...did you by chance see the table...Oh...very pretty...did you by chance see the table cloth my sister did for me on my blog?
