It had no table of contents then but is primarily crochet patterns; Crochet Lace for your Petticoat, Birthday Tablecloth (on the cover), Petal Star Doily, Embroidered Band on a Crocheted Apron, a Crochet Edging, a Carnation, Rick Rack Dish Mat and a Pineapple Pincushion.

Other projects included a Knitted Bonnet with a Wired Brim, a Flag Quilt, and a Tatted Table Runner.
​
This month you’ll choose between the Carnation and the Pineapple Pincushion.   I wanted to make the Rick Rack Dish Mat an option but I don’t have enough rick rack to do one.

I love the old Pineapple Pincushions (and want to make one for myself someday.)

    I'm from Minnesota and have been crocheting since 2003.  I inherited a box full of Workbasket Magazines from my mother-in-law and became obsessed with the vintage patterns.
