From the December, 1952 Workbasket magazine, a doily to crochet. Three pages of instructions are on my Flickr account.
As we start the needlework count-down to Christmas, I'll be posting one project per week from this issue, starting with the ones I figure are going to take the longest. There are eight projects in all.
I particularly wanted to get this copy scanned as it is falling apart.
Had to say "Christmas projects"...had to make me look at the calendar and freak out.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Off to start my Great Niece's stocking, #48 for me.
Gorgeous! That's an interesting pattern. I thought it was 30s because of the Deco influenced border and geometric shapes in the centre, but, add the 40s/50s daisy shapes, and it's 50s. Good patterns never die.
ReplyDeleteNo kidding. I'm on the planning committee for an event in mid-November and wham! here we are in October already.
ReplyDeleteI've given up doing Christmas projects. Either I start in January, or forget it, it's not getting done in time.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was working I used to tat small, dead-easy ornaments to slide into Christmas cards for my coworkerson. Now that I'm retired, I don't have to do this.
