Mum found this crochet stuff she'd never used and 'gave' it to me (more on that later).
It's Very Old.
Even the bag is retro:
There are 2 balls of crochet thread:
But it's the books that are the best value.
1st, the Ladybird Book:
with detailed instructions!
Some of which are surprisingly unclear:
And patterns at best old-fashioned:
 |
| This is a handkerchief case - bless! |
Patronising and un-PC:
Or a bit odd ugly ... ?
here's that last one again, I just can't stop looking at it!
Moving on, the Other Book.
Well.
What can I say?
There are a few high(er) points:
And then it's downhill pretty quickly!
 |
 |
| the phone! the jumper! the collar! |
 |
| nothing. I'm saying nothing. |
 |
| if only the frame were nicer |
 |
But I've saved the piece de resistance for last:
AAAAARRRGGGHHHH!
Anyway, Mum handed this to me a while ago and said something along the lines of "you can have this for now". Which is a bit weird, no? You can't really borrow crochet stuff can you, I mean, what happens when she wants it back? I have, however, decided to use a smidgen of the cream thread to try crocheting a lacy doily. I am not a doily-user, but Mum is so I'll make it for her.
