    My grandmother's creations

    Hello,

    Here are some pictures of a set of crocheted items I received years ago. I have kept them in one of my kitchen drawers. My grandmother is no longer living, so I do not have the patterns. But, I thought this was really a neat set!

    Hi Barbi! These are great creations by your grandmother. Thanks for sharing them with us despite not having the patterns. Your granny was quite fond of variegated threads and simple but easy patterns which I think can be easily followed by our expert crochet members here (definitely not me!)

    Thanks! If you have similar patterns, feel free to post them here, or post a link. I know a few members were curious about patterns.

    Thanks for your help!

    Hi Barbi, I found a pattern for one of your grandma's crocheted items two of them on on the freepatterns site one is called Blue & White potholder the number is fc00722, the second one is on the same site it's called Dainty Pot Holder the number is fc00389 if this isn't the right ones let me know and I'll keep searching still working on the other items is it possible to have larger pictures so I can see if I can figure out the patterns for you if that would be something you would consider.

    Blackierose,

    Thanks for sharing your findings on the patterns. I have been so busy lately, and have not gotten around to looking yet. I really appreciate it! I will have to go take a look and save the patterns to my computer.
