In the Beginning...

...there were old fashioned needles and gothic yarn. This will be a place of all sorts of projects from tablecloths to washcloths to blankets to anything else that strikes my fancy.
I adore things of antique or old fashioned appearance such as tablecloths, curtains, bedspreads and all those famous heirlooms. I haven't made anything that big just yet but I do intend to. It is the reason I have taught myself various needlework.
I started out with knitting until I could call myself a Speed Knitter. I knit washcloths and dishrags and began a blanket.
I then progressed into the art of crochet...plunging until I could call myself a Rabid Crocheter. I crocheted facecloths and doilies and began blankets and a tablecloth.
My main focuses remain on lace and openwork. Anything that looks like your Great Grandmother spent a year on, only darker and more fancy. Hopefully there will be lots of juice on here and I'll have outdone each and every one of your Great Grandmothers!
