Outstanding Crochet

 







Sunny Day Crochet Dress from 

Outstanding Crochet: My Cross Stitching "Victorian Charm" by Dimensions...

I made this one a while ago, but recently kids broke a glass cover, so I've decided to take some pictures................Outstanding Crochet: 

Crochet case purse mirror "Gerda".

I finished this "easy/intermediate" level pattern

yesterday. It called "Gerda"

 because it reminds me of the tale Snow Gueen by Hans Christian Andersen.

Again, it has step-by-step pictures with written instructions and charts. Goes to my folder until my work permit papers are

 ready.

as soon as i read here tbat's in the blog of the girl' with post above here ..yes in her blog.....about Hans Christian Andersen

who's story was in the news some 5-6 months ago in every news paper......the story was "The Emperor's New Clothes"

and pointing towards Arvind_Kejriwal an Indian politician, social activist and former Indian Revenue Service officer who is the seventh and current Chief Minister of Delhi.

Yarn Bombing

How beautiful do these colourful droplets of crochet look sprinkled in snow and frost? This photograph makes me feel all inspired to get the crochet hook out and make a garland of diamond shapes edged in a white yarn, echoing the frost. This could then be hung around the house (depending on how fast I’d crochet, maybe just the fireplace) as a Christmas decoration.

 Cowan Bridge



 In these days, when it is considered quite a modern move ment to interest children in rural and suburban schools in gardening, it is well to remember that nearly ninety years ago the pupils at this school for clergymen's daughters were encouraged to keep a small plot of garden in good order, so that they might be interested in such work, and have their powers of observation improved.
