Carry-Along Crochet

It's starting to warm up and travel is in the air.

For those of you who don't put that crochet hook down in favor of gardening and yardwork, here is a light, piecework idea that is more portable than an unfinished afghan.

At the last Crochet Klatch meeting, I had a request for a doily pattern. If you don't mind working with a smaller hook and fine cotton thread, a doily is lightweight and airy. It won't make your lap hot while you work.

http://www.crochetpatterncentral.com/ has several doily patterns. Usually, this is my go-to website for excellent crochet patterns, but I was surprised to find a different site with over 300 doily patterns. Check out www.allcrafts.net/crochet/crochetdoilies.htm for a truly excellent selection. You'll find lots more than just the traditional pineapple design.

Happy crafting.
