[Knitting A Conundrum]

Crochet find!

I love crocheted lace, edgings and doilies. My grandma's house was filled with them, so I got the taste young.

I found this site with a bunch of links to edgings online, many of them antique:

And while you are looking for stuff, don't forget the about page for crochet:
http://crochet.about.com/

Here's a page with a couple of 1918 doily patterns:

And here's a page run by the person with the edgings link, that looks marvelous:

Thanks for those links!

And in a belated answer to your question about storage of "stuff" for "projects", I use all kinds and sizes of baskets with handles. For each project, I have all the scraps, needles, ribbon, patterns, yarn, thread, or whatever, in that one basket, so I can just grab the basket and go, or set it aside when I want to clean. (Of course, I don't weave or do large projects, so maybe this wouldn't work for everyone, LOL!) Plus, the sight of baskets doesn't offend me as much as the miscellany of junk associated with each project does.
