As far back as I can remember, my dad was crocheting with fine cotton.
A small sample of my dad’s crochet:
There was a doily on every table.
I remember my mom starching the flowers propped open with cotton balls.
My dad’s Boye crochet hook priced at 15¢
He learned from his mom.
My grandmother’s crochet and embroidery:
Back in the ’70s, he tried to get me hooked with this kit (puns happen):
but by the time I was 8 inches into it, it was 8 years out of style…
…
…
…I would totally wear that skirt now.

Love his work, his mom’s work, and that pattern. You would totally rock that skirt!
