I did indeed finish this Christmas tree skirt in time for Christmas! There were some serious doubts that I could get this done in time for present-opening. And honestly, my hook flew like it has never flown before and I just amazed myself with finishing it.
The pattern if from Country Woman magazine, issue: Nov/Dec 2003. I'm not sure if this issue is still available.
And of course, the cats presume that it was entirely crafted for their napping pleasure....
And many of you asked for the pattern for this aqua doily. It is from Magic Crochet magazine, issue: April 2002. From the buzz on different web pages, I don't think this magazine is available any longer. I have picked up a few at rummage sales and thrift stores.Lastly, my blogirl-friend, Robyn tagged me. She has a beautiful blog and she is sooooooo full of charm & sweetness! And because I was just recently tagged w/ the same 'game' here are my answers.

And I am tagging all of you who read this!
Very pretty - love the colors of the tree skirt. I need to learn (again) how to either knit or crochet. Maybe 2009 will be THE year.

ReplyDeleteI love your comment on my blog re: stitching patterns! :) The spring looking quilt will be a small wallhanging with applique blue birds (just to give you insider's info) coming out in the May issue of The Quilter. :)
Wonderful Stitching Wishes to you in the New Year!
Dawn I've never seen a crocheted Christmas tree skirt but I love this one - I never would have thought of doing that! And I continue to be amazed by your purses - perfect for a teenager. blessings, marlene

ReplyDeleteLook at that wonderful tree skirt. I missed this post. It must have been while I was away.
ReplyDeleteJust found this post. This is the prettiest crocheted tree skirt I have ever seen. Your color choices are so beautiful. I must try to find this pattern for next year.

The vintage granny square caught my eye. I wish you would have put the size of the squares. I am going to try and make a small one for some place mats that I am making. Could you put the size of the squares. When I get finished, no one will believe that it is granny squares. It is beautiful.
