Country Door Curtain

Ann V. Gallentine

 

This curtain was designed for the window in our country kitchen door. I got the idea from my grandmother who crocheted such curtains many years ago. As I love to knit, I decided to try that medium for the project. The lace pattern of diamonds is just perfect. It came out so good that I am now knitting a tablecloth in the same pattern for our dining room table.
