ForestGreen pineapple lace motifs pineapple lace doily: http://barbscraftbooks.tripod.com/barbscrochet/id37.htmlHow to construct the motif: http://crochet.about.com/od/learncrochet/ht/htpineapple.htmhttp://www.crochetmemories.com/archive/may9.htmlI don't really know why I don't like this motif. Traditionally pineapples are a symbol used to welcome someone into their home. It's also one of the best known crocheted lace motifs, I don't seem to be able to pick up a crochet magazine that doesn't have a pineapple motif somewhere in it. I've seen it used for tablecloths, doilies, placemats, coasters, afghans, rugs, you name it. if you Google "crochet pineapple" without the quotes you will get plenty of hits. If you didn't want links to the pineapple motifs you should clarify which of the things in my post you wanted information about.
lol. Sorry. I got so excited by the mention of crochet lace (as everyone was spewing about knitted lace), I missed the whole last sentence about pineapple motifs. I was just curious about links to making crocheted lace, period. Thank you!

Silver Mist lol. Sorry. I got so excited by the mention of crochet lace (as everyone was spewing about knitted lace), I missed the whole last sentence about pineapple motifs. I was just curious about links to making crocheted lace, period. Thank you!
Don't worry about it, I've done it too. I love edgings, insertions, doilies, filet lace, etc. I haven't been brave enough to try Irish crochet, but I've played with broomstick lace and I can't wait to get a loom and try hairpin lace. Libraries are a good place to look for books, the bigger the library, the more likely it will be to have pattern books. I suggest checking out doilies and edgings first, just to get a feel for which lace patterns you like best. Lace patterns are used in tablecloths, luncheon sets, bookmarks, some coasters, doilies of course, table runners, dresser scarves, shawls, bedspreads, afghans, and kerchiefs, just to name a few items. http://www.calmingseas.com/ has links to lots of patterns all over the web. You can google any of the terms in italics + crochet (ie. crochet luncheon sets) and find plenty of links. I got kind of lucky and had a stash of old needlework magazines given to me. Some of them are from the 1950's and have plenty of lace household items like tablecloths and doilies. Quite frequently lacey squares, rounds, or hexigons were used to make the larger items like bedspreads or tablecloths. I have often seen the same motif or square used to make different items. I hope this is better information for you Silver Mist.
