New Crochet Book to Love: Vintage Crochet

Dsc_0017
Vintage Crochet by Susan Cropper is one of the most beautiful crochet - no, not just crochet - craft books I have ever seen. The title says it all but I still wasn't prepared to swoon and drool over every picture and project. There are so many patterns in here that I would like to try but even if I don't it's still a wonderful book to read at bedtime and drift into dreams of crafting utopia!

Why do I love this bag so much? Is it the perfect shade of orange? Is it the ribbon handle? Is it the subtle sheen of the yarn? I don't know but this is on my list to make.

Bobbles! Aack, what's not to love?! I have some old wood handles just like these so this bag is being put on my list too.

There are a lot more projects than these two bags - a wavy blanket, Alicia's cardigan, an adorable headband, a cafe curtain that just kills me I love it so much, a breakfast set that includes tea and egg cozies, Juju's scarf and cloche, a tablecloth - but you'll have to get the book and see for yourself!

this book is on my wishlist -- thanks for showing us a little bit. i've learned not to buy books sight unseen so i've been very anxious for a peek.

Thanks for sharing these fun things!

I just received my copy and like you have been swooning. It's a gorgeous book with many great projects!

oh golly. i think i have to go buy that RIGHT now.
thanks for the tip!

Thanks so much for posting this! I ordered the book last week, sight unseen, and now I am positive it was a great choice.

I love stopping by your blog! I must say that the photo of your dog in the right column makes me smile every time I see it. I lost my dog recently, and that photo reminds me of him. So adorable! And thanks for the wonderful Advent projects!

I'm getting this for Christmas, sight unseen, but those two bags are enough to make me feel I made the right choice! Especially the orange one, which looks good enough to eat.

AAH!!!!!!!!!! a nother thing i NEED to buy!!!
Thanks for sharing!
