Halloween Cover and Doily

Another cute Halloween pattern from Free Crochet. I'm thinking that this week's theme for the free pattern of the day, is Halloween. This one, I would definitely make. It's supposed to go over a candle holder. The glass bowl type that are sold at Wal-Mart. I really do enjoy this.

I'm going to make this. To put on my coffee table. I already have a similar glass bowl candle holder. It's painted though. No crochet. And it was a gift from my daughter. I think this would be nice to put there for the holiday.

Coffee Table Topper

Another lovely doily from Free Crochet. This is today's free pattern. And I really like it. I have a soft spot in my heart for doilies. And for the pineapple stitch. This is definitely going on my to-make list.

Now I just need to get to Hobby Lobby. I want to make this for my living room coffee table. I really like the pineapple stitch. And this looks like such a great pattern.

I've gotten a few messages about doilies. They're not hard to make. Working with the small crochet needles and thread isn't too bad. You just have to worry about your tension. Your stitches have to be pretty uniform. But it's not hard. Then you can always block your doily when you finish.

Starlight Doily

A while back, my daughter sent me a link to Crochet Soiree. I just hadn't had time to look at it. Until today. And it is a nice website. They sell lots of crochet patterns and materials. There is also a nice blog. And some free patterns. You just need to download them right away. Most are only free for a week or so. But I did find this one...



You can get the Starlight Doily pattern for free right now. I really like the look of it. And I'm printing it out as I type this. The Starlight Doily is definitely going to be on my "To-Make" list. But I'll definitely be going to this website many times in the future.
