Crinoline Lady Crazy

[heart]

Ok, a few of you wanted to see the doily crinoline lady, I did make a few changes, this is my progress so far,

I don't have easy access to #30 thread so I used # 10 and a #7 hook. I stopped after row 11 b/c the doily was getting big! Then picked up again in the pattern where the chains come in the design. The doily is laid across my scanner, so that shows you how big it is, the doll pieces seem to be ok shape wise, will have to see. I'll post more photos as I get more done.

 

 

 

Ok. I have wanted to do these for such a long time, and I finally ordered a pattern from Crochet Memories . com and I absolutely love them!!! The First one I gave to my Mom, the second one I put onto a fleece baby blankie for a lady at church who is expecting, and the third I did today, I just said a prayer and jumped right in. I didn't have a pattern, I did use my recent experience from the other two for an idea on how to shape this one, the first 2 are about 9" and the blue one is about 5" maby 6". Here you go!

Gorgeous!!! I especially like the fleece baby blanket. What a wonderful heirloom. Great job!

[heart]

Thanks a bunch! They are so fun! Believe it or not, I just ordered another one. It is pretty too.

I love crinoline ladies and you did a good job on them. Oh, the possibilities.

I found this crinoline lady pattern at CPC. (Didn't you say you didn't have a pattern?) Well anyway, very pretty! I have never crocheted a crinoline lady.... You got me wanting to, now, though!

 

Oh, woops, you said you just ordered one.... Well... there's the pattern for anyone else who may be interested.

 

Very nice!

Love the idea of putting them on a baby blanket; very femine touch.

[heart]

Yep, I like that one too. The first one I ordered is the Easter Girl one, (did up in the peach and then the white on the origional links) and the one I just ordered is the Red and Purple one on the link. She has great patterns, they are easy to read and are very beautiful. I can hardly wait to get the second one.

They are gorgous!! I really love dresses and angels so I'll have to try one of these-thanks for the link Mom w/a Motif!

I love those patterns, yours have turned out very well - and your own design is equally beautiful

Wow! I had no idea you could do a crinoline lady in so many different patterns- the Spring lady is nice, so is the Easter one... No wonder you are Crinoline Lady Crazy!

[heart]

My mom hand sews fabric ones to pillows, and I always liked them, so naturally I thought I was in heaven when I saw crocheted ones. I am going to try the vintage one you posted. I really like that it is vintage. I have 2 boys, so crochet is the only thing I get to do in a girly way, ( no offence to you great guys who crochet! which is awesome by the way!)

A month ago I was lookin' for a pattern like this. And couldn't find anything. It turns out I worded it wrong. Hooray I finally found some.

[lovingmommy]

oh wow. i had no idea something could be soooo pretty. i love the first one!!!

[JoAnn]

You did a wonderful job! I have an original pattern book of the Crinoline Lady. I don't do much thread, so I never tried it. I did do the ring bearers pillow from Crochet Memories for my DDs wedding. It came out great!

If you do this, I would love to see the picture of it done. I have been eyeing this pattern in my novelanddecor file for about a year now.

Yes me too!! I have this one but havebeen afraid to attempt it.

[victoriarose]

Sennight & Darski: I would LOVE to do this one as well, but I do not like the color scheme. What are your ideas?

[Sarah Jane]

I think probably some nice pink with White instead of blue maybe?
