I'm still having fun making swatches from the patterns in
Crochet Patterns Book 300. This is my favorite (foot for scale). I remember my mom making a white crochet cotton thread table topper in a similar pineapple pattern. I like it super big like this. I think it looks a little peacocky, too.
I'd like to make a light summer blanket for our bed in an open, lacy pattern. Obviously not for *this* summer...
Lots of these patterns are in the running.
