I would've gladly sent you mine, but it was in German, so it probably wouldn't have been much good to you. The good news though is that I found it with a bit of Google magic. It's called 'Take Up Crochet' in English, by a lady called Sue Whiting. She's also on Ravelry.com, so you might search for her there if you're a member and see if the design you're looking for us in the Ravelry.com database. When I Googled 'Take Up Crochet Sue Whiting', the book appeared on Amazon.com - I just can't post a link here as I'm on my phone. I hope this helps and if I find my copy of the book, I'll let you know ;-)The Gingerbread Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11060553716262145464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7907318835461639396.post-15768150078970597182016-12-07T07:13:13.320+01:002016-12-07T07:13:13.320+01:00Hi.

I had done a beautiful flowered doily in the back of the book (if memory serves) can you come to the rescue of this desperate Australian and either send me the ISBN number of the book, if you still have it, or an image of the page or even write out the pattern. I hope you get this. Thank you very much.

In the interests of bloggery, I've done a bit of Googling and have found a few lovely blankets in this technique ... but it's just not my thing. <br /><br />tintocktap: yes, Edinburgh is lovely and the people are so nice and friendly. I had a look at that book and continue to be in awe of anyone who'd take on the effort of crocheting all of those chains. I think I'll wait till I have kiddies, then teach them how to finger-crochet and start them off making the chains for me.

I bought it because of the tartan (also because it was marked down to next to nothing) but was disappointed because I don't like filet crochet and ... because it took me ten years to figure out the tartan pattern :-( I'd offer you my copy if you spoke German!

I actually learnt to crochet using that and made a small placemat using one of the designs - I think there's a tablecloth pattern in white thread crochet squares. I think there's a filet crochet pattern in the same book which I also tried but gave up. I never tried the tartan project because it seemed too big for me to attempt.
