Crochet find

After having lunch with an old friend today, I popped in to the Vinnies op-shop for a bit of a browse and came across this pretty throw which I couldn't possibly leave there. As a crocheter, I can appreciate the time and effort that has gone into making it and feel it would have been rather sad to have left it sitting there.


At $7.50 it was more than a bargain and I'm almost certain its made in wool as its quite heavy and has that wool look and feel. Measures 40 inches x 36 inches and has 90 little squares. There's not a thing wrong with it either so I'm very happy.


Have a great weekend everyone. I think I'm going to have a bit of a read-a-thon this weekend.  xox

    1. Pat, for the life of me I cannot work out how this is joined together. At first I was thinking whip stitched but on closer inspection, there seems to be a single strand of yarn going straight along the stitches. Now you've got me wondering :)

  3. You should be happy with that find. It's a goodie. I immediately thought of peas, carrots, and corn! Ha-ha. (I just came from a vegetarian's blog so maybe that's why my mind went to veggies immediately!) Someone would be very happy to know you took it home.
