I participate in a Letter Swap. This is where you take the persons first name and use that as the basis for the pattern you choose. My person was Liz, so I had to find "L" patterns.
So for my first pattern, I chose something with Large as part of the title, and the second pattern had Little as part of the title. The Large was smaller than the Little. :o)
First, the Large - it is a Large White, or better known as a cabbage butterfly.
Then there is the Little - it's a Little Lime from the same book, 75 Birds, Butterflies and Beautiful Beasties to Knit and Crochet, by Lesley Stanfield
Then I made a Strawberry Potholder - but had to call it a Lacy Strawberry Potholder to get it in the right "L" category! This is from an old Annie's Attic pattern leaflet #851 called Crocheted Potholders 3, by Leisure Arts. The design is by Kay Fisher Meadors. There is a cool grape cluster potholder in there that I want to try.
The yarn is much brighter and prettier than it shows in these photos.
The last gift was a lovely set of patterns of Lacy Shawls to Knit.
Whew! Made it!
Wow! What a fun sounding swap. Cute ideas, Cat.
