My Mom's Crochet Work

Various Doilies

My Mom Beti (Bracha) enjoyed crocheting with her small crochet hook. It gave her pleasure, relaxation and...fun.

She concentrated on small doilies that could use as table ornaments or coasters. She also crocheted some bigger items such as shawls, scarves, tablecloths, vests, and even a dress.

Unfortunately, I don't have her skill, so I cannot give information on the techniques of her crocheting, stitch and pattern details. I can only mention that she preferred D.M.C. cotton yarn, the ecru colour, and that she put love in every stitch.

Mom gave away some of the crocheted dolies as a gift to relatives, friends, neighbours. I keep the remaining items in a special box, taking them out now and then to enjoy their beauty and delicacy and remind myself of their creator, my dearest Mom.

מפיות סרוגות

אמי השקיעה המון אהבה
בכל פריט שהיא סרגה
לרוב היו אלה מפיות
ששמשו קישוט על שולחנות

עשתה שימוש בחוטים

בשלל מידות וצבעים

המציאה דוגמאות שונות

פשוטות וגם מורכבות

פה ושם נתנה כמתנה

אחד מן הפריטים שסרגה

את מה שנותר אני שומרת

בקופסא מיוחדת, למזכרת

Milieuri Crochetate

In timpul liber Mama crocheta

Cu placere, din toata inima

Milieuri facea ea multe

Dar si esarfe, shaluri, veste

Intrebuinta diferite fire

Ca culoare si grosime

Nu se uita prin jurnale

Ci crea pare-se originale

Cand si cand a dat cadou

Un mare sau mic milieu

Restul intr-o cutie pastrez

Scot, de ea sa-mi amintesc.
