Non-doily inspration for crochet thread

Fun new product addition of the week: Aunt Lydia’s Classic 10 Crochet Thread is now in the shop!

Now, I know you probably might be thinking of this yarn and you immediately jump to doilies, those frilly little things that likely littered your grandma’s tables, couches, and wherever else. And, yes, that its more popular use. But let’s think outside of the box here a bit, shall we?

First up, The Yesteryear Top by Mimi Alelis. It’s pictured as a summery crop top, but if you’re looking for more coverage the pattern is easily made longer. See this project on Ravelry or get the pattern on Interweave.

Next, we have the absolutely swoon-worthy Chrysanthemum gown by Chi Krneta. Make it short, make it long, make it a 2-piece set, or even a halter! Scroll through Ravelry and you’ll find some gorgeous wedding gowns made with this pattern, even! See more and buy the pattern on Ravelry

Ok, I’m a sucker for vintage things. I mean, I know a lot of it is considered outdated… but I don’t care. So when I ran across these vintage-looking coasters by Anabelia Handmade it was immediately loved. I can just imagine a set of these on my dining room table paired with my favorite teacups from my mom’s wedding china that she gave me. See what others have made on Ravelry, or find the pattern on Anabelia’s website.

Make these Beaded Wine Glass Charms by Kara Gunza and never forget which glass is yours! These cute little charms whip up quick, and make a fun way to mark your glasses. They’d also make a fantastic gift for a wine lover you might know! See what others have made in this pattern on Ravelry, and find the pattern on Petals to Picots

Last, but not least, earrings! How pretty are these A Little Pineapple earrings by Valerie Granger?! I adore the little beaded detail at the bottom of them! Whip up a pair for yourself and your friends, change out the yarn and bead color to match your own personal style, and add a bit of handmade flair to your wardrobe!
