Grapevine Runner; First Filet Project



Fillet crocheting was brand new to me when I decided to take on this Grapevine Runner by Rita Weiss in her pattern book "Crocheting Doilies". (I wasn't able to find a pattern link on line but the book on that link starts at around 8.00 for a used book. It has many beautiful placemats, doilies, and runners in it including filet butterfly placemats).

When I started this project I had no idea what I was doing and it looked as though it would be very difficult. Not! I found as long as I kept track of my progress by marking off rows with a pencil, the project ran along smoothly and swiftly.

I think it turned out pretty darn good and my mother loves it. But she's my Mom, what else would she think about something her daughter made? lol

I would like to try another filet project, there are so many beautiful patterns out there, I just can't make up my mind which one to delve into. Any suggestions???

This is a lovely well made filet. I'm looking for some grapes to crochet and this is a lovely pattern.
