Crochet Snowflake #22

I can't believe that it is the last week of August already and I've not had time to work on any of my craft projects. Too much fun!

Here is my newest snowflake. I have also written the instructions about sugar and water stiffeners. This is the same recipe that my grandmother used to stiffen her rock hard doilies, like the ones that are stiff baskets. I like this recipe for snowflakes because I like them when they are crystal hard.

Next time I make a doily I will take pictures of what it looks like when I've got it all stretched and pinned.

Vintage Crochet Roses Doily

I've added some pictures of a Roses Doily crocheted by my  grandmother.

One of one of my favorite memories is my grandmother coming to visit with her crochet. She always had a project on the go and I have become the same. I always have a project going, usually more than one.
