Now why didn't I take a picture of the finished coffee table cloth I made using the pattern for the Mountain Laurel tablecloth! Oh well, I'll be making another one exactly like it to fit the top of a sofa table. Working on another large round doily for an end table. That will make three of those, then I'll start the sofa table cloth, and then a cloth for the top of a fireplace mantel. Pictures to follow when I finish all of this! After that a large Rippling Rose Afghan to make. Will sure be glad when this is all finished!

Hook Sleevz
I invented this some years ago, but never had it patented due to it would cost over $10,000 and they are very easy to make.

You can make these out of drinking straws or plastic tubing to fit over your crochet hooks. These will help you make more uniform bullion stitches,commonly called roll stitches. Cut a slit down through the straw/tubing as straight as you can, then trim one end off at a slant and rounded as shown here in this picture.

When you make the bullion st and after you make the last step of it, you just pull the Hook Sleevz off of your hook.

Mountain Laurel Doily

This is 23" in diameter. Size 10 DMC thread using a size 6 hook, but a size 8 hook for the two rounds of edging. Same motif pattern as for the tablecloth. Going to make a total of three of these doilies, then making two long narrow cloths for a coffee table and a sofa table. Another odd-shaped cloth for a mantel, and later some smaller doilies all using this motif pattern.

Three round ripple afghans I crocheted for my grand neice's three daughters. One is in shades of pink, one in purples, and one if pinks and blues. (Click onto picture to see larger.)

Tea Set Doily and Coaster set which I crocheted and sent to a lady in Ireland. This is a vintage pattern which I found in a book I have.

Miser Bag

This is a tiny little miser bag made with size 10 thread. Shown here with a quarter so you can tell just how small this bag is. Pattern is available through me.

Autumn Burst Ripple Afghan

This is a huge afghan which was made last year for a lady at work. I don't think I've ever seen a round ripple afghan that wasn't pretty. It seems like any color combination always turns out lovely even when you think they aren't going to!
