Net Stitch Angel

Sans starch, which explains the wonky look.

Thanks everyone. She's such a easy cute little pattern. I have another one done and am starting the third for gifts.

Oh, so pretty. I really love angels.

I had ordered 2 angel books from ebay to get a start for Christmas.......still haven't done anything. Guess this could be the :kick I need to get started:P

There's a story behind the angels. (There's ALWAYS a story with me :P )



My husband's mother had a collection of angel ornaments that she would put on their christmas tree every year. When she passed (long before I met David) instead of dividing them up they decided to keep them together and her only daughter to have them.
Ever since I have known him, around Christmas time he has given his daughter, his daughter in law, and me an angel ornament for our trees. The first one (which was sets of 3 beautiful crystal angels), he included a note about his mothers angels, one that was so touching I cried. I still have it too.
So this year while making the girl's snowflake ornaments I decided I would find an angel pattern for their tree.
I never met his mother but from what I have heard and from knowing her son she had to have been one wonderful lady. Since she was a fellow crocheter I felt it fitting to honor her with crocheted angels this year.




man, I have been sappy this year....
