A deer in the kitcheen

[Taramor]

Here are the curtain for my kitchen-window. I made it in filet-chrocheting. It might be a little old-fashioned, but I love it, both making it, and the sight of it from the parking-place a dark winter-evning.

8.5.2010: Maria Merlino have charted the pattern and uploaded it for everyone to use: http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=346201.msg4029771#msg4029771

I would love to see, if anybody else made the pattern!

What an excellent idea for a filet piece.  Good job!

[justthisguy]

Sweet work. this would be great for some subversive stuff too... Time to look up filet...

[Flia]

Pretty. Where did you find the pattern?

[Belruel]

Very pretty!
Old fashion is not a nasty word..nowadays they call it vintage :-)

[pesky pixie]

This is so beautiful!
Looks like you did a great job on it!
Great idea to hang it in your window in the kitchen for everyone to enjoy!

Is this a vintage pattern?

[Taramor]

Thank you all for the kind comments  . Fila and pesky pixie: The pattern is from a book by Diny Zijp "Bedstemors hæklerier" (Grandmamas chrocheting). I think it originaly was Dutch, i have only seen the Danish copy. I have had it from the library, and havn't been able to find it for sale. Justthisguy: you are rigth - I think most patterns for cross-stitching could be used for this, too. Belruel:  vintage it is!

[Flia]

You can crochet practically any cross stitch pattern, but the problem is of course the colours.

I'm a filet nut! I love this piece! Thanks for the nice picture.
