"I actually stopped to try this and see if I liked it. It was very easy. Took me about 20 minutes to make the first one, the second was faster. Think will make a great blanket with different color centers."

"I was just thinking yesterday that I need to find a way to dress up my fleece blanket I bought. And this Sweet Shells Crochet Edging will be great! I love your timing!! After reading the written pattern this will work out great and make a $5.00 blanket a great gift. So nice to have this one. Thank you so much for sharing this free crochet edging pattern."

"I'm actually doing this right now. I'm doing a 72 X 80 inches blanket or bread spread which will fit a queen size bed. I'm excited about this project. This is my first off-white blanket project which will be followed by a lot more similar colored projects in the future. I will post the finished blanket later."

"Thank you for putting the pattern here on this page, I tried this pattern years ago and it didn't work but now I see this one is some what different. I will be trying this one and hope it works out. I like the look of this Ancient Mariner Wheel Stitch Lapghan. This will make a great Christmas gift for my oldest grandson.. Thank you so much for sharing this free crochet lapghan pattern."

"Thanks for pointing this out -- very helpful because I think the afghan is beautiful but I'd be very frustrated if I couldn't figure it out!"

VIntage has never looked so good! Fall in love with this book by Jane Crowfoot as you see how well knitting and crochet can work together. This book is divided into three different vintage design themes: Folk Tales, Two-Tone Chic, and Time for Tea. Which theme is for you? I think my favorite theme is the Time for Tea because I would love to curl up on the couch with these pillows and set my favorite cup of tea on the Victoria doily.

Other projects in this book capture the vintage spirit so well that people won't even know that you crocheted or knitted them. Vintage inspired pieces are all over department stores these days and now you can make your own home decor pieces. Whether you are predominately an knitter or crocheter, there are patterns for you to try and for you to expand your skills. There is a beautiful Babouchka crochet hexagon afghan in this book that I just adore.

Many of these gorgeous patterns are aimed at beginners and others are aimed for more experienced crocheters or knitters. Either way, this book is just lovely for anyone looking too add some vintage flair to their home.
