Novel Materials

My latest Goodwill trouvaille is a series of Time Life books on "The Art of Sewing," published in 1973. There's some genuinely great stuff in them, along with a few really kooky howlers. Halfway in between, we have this "campy but tasteful conversation piece," featuring circles crocheted onto kitchen sink drainers. This is from the volume entitled "novel materials." They aren't kidding.

The instructions for making these is under "read more" in the form of jpg images scanned from the book. I know there has got to be a better way to do that, but I'm not sure yet what it is, so for now, try not to strain your eyes.

  1. I posted about this on the Crafty Vixens Tribe, and for some reason it inspired puns.
