A Crochet Table Runner
I've been busy lately trying to finish a table runner I started a few years ago. I had only actually made six of the main motifs, so I've really done most of it in the last week. This is made up of 18 small 'pineapple' motifs, four picot wheel motifs, and several picot half and two-third motifs [lots of ends to weave in], and then a simple outer area is done to finish it all off.
The design is in this booklet, Crochet Monthly, an English publication which I used to buy years ago. I have quite a number of them, but I've done almost all of the pieces in this issue. Many of them are based on the 'pineapple' design which I know is a little old hat, but these are quite delicate, and I find they look lovely on timber furniture. My daughter in law has claimed all of the mats I've made so far.
Perhaps this close-up will show a bit more of the design. This mat has been made using DMC Cebelia #40 thread, using almost all of a 50gm ball. The sweet little lady bug clock is a gift from a lovely friend in the UK, something I shall always treasure.

This is so delicate and such a pretty design. You crochet beautifully, Linda, so very neat. I looooove the lady bug clock - worth cherishing. Di.
That is beautiful Linda. Laurel
Linda this is beautiful ! i would love to learn how to crochet ! you do such beautiful work !
Like everything else you do Linda, your crochet work is just perfect. This is such a light delicate design I just love crochet table mats on furniture.
That is certainly one beautiful table runner. The pineapple design is a little different to the ones that I know. The pineapples are on the way back too, I've seen them in scarves & crochet outwear. Beautiful work.
Oh, my, that brings back memories! I used to get the same magazine, still have some somewhere:)Well done, Linda, getting your table runner finished, it looks beautiful!
There is something very special about fine crochet :))
Oh Linda - this is beautiful - love hand crochet and what a shame we don't see it as much these days. Well done as always. Kerrie
As you well know I cannot crochet. I can't even conceive of how you have made this; it is stunning! I am so glad it has made a comeback; there is such pretty pattern around.
Beautiful,beautiful Linda...what clever fingers you have..x
