Good Morning from Starting Chain! This morning we’d like to feature a few examples of traditional crochet, plus one that has been adapted. We’d like to say “Bravo” to their creators and also express appreciation for their sharing of them with us all.

Suzanne’s work is stunningly beautiful! Her tablecloth is a work of art and will be something that will be cherished for generations. She also posted a photo of one she did using the Queen Anne’s lace motif. It, too, is just fantastic. As we all know, beauty can take years to achieve. It’s worth it.

We love Edith’s doily. It does look like ballerinas!

Denyse’s use of a traditional circular Pineapple tablecloth for a shawl or shrug is creative and very functional. It is beautiful. We can see it with a nice dress. There is something about it, too, that reminds us a bit of Katniss’s Mockingjay wings in “Catching Fire”. Cinna would approve.
