Kathy Grin has been collecting old crochet patterns for many years from both Australian and overseas sources. The result is a beautiful collection of over seventy patterns for household items - tablecloths, coffee cloths, doilies, tray cloths, cushion covers, shelf edgings and trims for linen and handkerchiefs - invaluable to anyone recreating turn-of-the-century ambience. Old fashioned instructions have been revised where necessary and translated into modern terminology to save readers the agony of puzzling over meanings.
Every item is illustrated against a background of the period furniture in Lanyon Homestead near Canberra.
