Placemat obsessed again

[Afghaniac]

And you probably thought you'd seen the last of these. But, at the end of a project and no new project in mind, I kept staring at a skein of Bernat Handicrafter off-white cotton sitting there in my basket (forgot what the plan for it was), and idly started doing this addictive pattern again. I like the ecru version so much, I'm keeping these for myself.

 

In case you like the pattern and didn't see my multiple previous posts, it's the cover pattern on an old Better Homes and Gardens book called White Crochet.

Nope - I thought there'd be more lolol.

I hope you're right. I have donated a couple of sets of them to a fund raiser for Doctors without Borders. It's a blind auction, and I'm not sure what starting price to put on each set of 4.

Very pretty placemats!!

[jolena]

I love that pattern too! May have to make some for Christmas gifts. Simply beautiful in ecru!

[Afghaniac]

Thanks, all. Ecru is my fave, too. I find that it's easy to adapt it to any holiday table colors, even Christmas or Easter by adding silver, pink, whatever. Now I need to get another skein when I get over to Joann's and make four more . . . Sigh . . .

Those are really pretty. I've made that before, it's one of my favorite patterns. but I never thought of them as placemats--that's a good idea and I might use it!!

They are as beautiful as the other ones. I had a difficult time finding a copy of the book but I finally got one.

They were so much fun to crochet that I had trouble transitioning to a new project! Hope you enjoy, too. Because I'd bought some bookshelves at Pier One, they were sweet enought to send me a gift coupon, which I used to help buy some ecru eyelet napkins that I've had my eye on for a long time, but felt were too pricey. They are perfect with the mats, and I'll post a picture when I set a table with them.
