Thread crochet and crochet edging

 

I have quite a few wonderful vintage crochet booklets covering patterns for crochet edgings. Through the years I have been selecting a pattern to crochet a length of edging and place it into a box with the pattern name, page number, and the date when I crocheted it.  This is a great reference if  I should want to place crocheted edging on a project of linen.
The above photo is from a 1941 booklet and I thought the Hibiscus pattern looked so pretty.
I started crocheting and instantly liked this pattern and made a short length of it.
This is fairly wide and would be lovely for the edge of a tablecloth or curtain.
So tell me.......what are your hands busy creating? I would love to hear!

Beautiful work. I really admire fine crochet work, but don't have the patience for it myself. My creative efforts are in fringe twisting for a woven lap robe and scarves for Christmas presents.
