Thoughts from the T-Shirt Lady

When I was recently going through all my old needlework books and kits - some as old as the 1970’s, I ran across an issue of The Workbasket - this one was from Feb 1982, and I think I borrowed it from someone who used to ride the bus with me to go to work. This is before my DH and I met. Wonder if she still lives in the area.

Anyway, there is this really neat crochet pattern for a wall hanging of a unicorn. Calls for rug yarn. My youngest used to love unicorns when she was growning up, and I thought I would like to make it for her for Christmas this year… why not.

Took some doing, but I finally found a source for the rug yarn - on-line, since none of the craft or fabric stores had any. I debated whether I would actually make it, since I have so many other projects in the works and had to make an extra effort to get the yarn. But I ordered it today, and God willing, I will get this project done as well.

I’ll try to remember to post the picture of it when it’s finished. If you would like the pattern, either before I get the design done and the picture posted, or after, let me know. I will be glad to share it.

BTW - I thought about the magazine - I never actually subscribed to it myself, but if you did, you might be interested in a little history of the mag that I found atThe Workbasket Magazine Then and Now. Interesting reading.
