Vintage crochet Friday #74

Did your mother/aunt/grandmother (or you!) have a set of Golden Hands when you were growing up?  My Mum collected the weekly partwork, and my Nanna collected Golden Hands Monthly.  I spent many hours browing through them as a child and teenager, and even made some projects from them.  I wonder what happened to the two dolls I made from one of the early issues?  They possibly went to the same place as both Mum’s and Nanna’s magazines – the op-shop.  Anyway, last year I found a set of Golden Hands in a local op-shop, and it came home with me.  Does anyone else remember this design from Issue 3?

Well, I made two in the last week!  Stay tuned for tomorrow’s blog post.
