Filet Crochet Book

I have a friend who is a crochet master....at least I think so. It seems she can crochet anything with anything....yarn, string...don't sit too close or you'll become part of the project...one of those kind of people. I sit awed watching her crochet. The hook seems to take on a life of its own in her hands. She does the most amazing filet crochet....like the projects in this book. 

The Filet Crochet Book by Chris Rankin, 1990

Love the stars! 6 points!

These trims would be wonderful on a crib blanket for a new baby....So cute!

OMG! An heirloom to swoon over.

Beautiful!

Beautiful way to add color to a room. Fabulous patterns.

So, I think this is a great way to challenge one's self....add a bit of oomph! to already-owned skills. Or just look at the book and OOOH and AAH over the pictures....then find some thread and a steel hook and get started dazzling everyone...
