European Crochet magazines--books?

[sunnywolfgar]

I am almost done with the doily that is Netherland pattern I found on the net it is a motif design and will post a pic in a few more days not done yet.

Ok, I have looked all over the net for Netherland crochet patterns and only came up with a few over the last several weeks. I am looking for any thing doilies,, table toppers,, I will even look at motifs cause I know how to use the pattern and make it larger. I did get Hass books but not sure if thats what I really want to crochet. He sure does have some great books!

I did get 1 book off of was suppose to be a Netherland crochet book off of E-bay and as it turns out it is German.

so on the hunt again...

Does anybody know of any European Crochet Books--magazines ? espically from Netherlands--Holland area?

Terry, when hunting online have you tried using the Dutch language for your search? I have no idea what is Dutch for "crochet pattern" but it can really help. Like when hunting to tatting patterns I also check Frivolite (French) and Occhi (German) and get more results that way. Just a thought :) Good luck (ooh, I might have a friend in the Netherlands who could help, if you get really stuck pm me and I will see what I can do ;))

I'm Dutch so if there is anything you want translated you can ask me :) oh and "crochet pattern" is "haakpatroon" in Dutch :) I also know of this (http://www.*************.nl/haakpatronen_haakpatroon_crochet_patterns.htm) site that has patterns in Dutch and English and most of them are Dutch:)
Anyway if there's anything else you need to know I'm here to help:D

Hi Terry:)

Well I've been trying to find you some sites with patterns but I don't have much time right now so I will look further tomorrow if that's ok:)

I'm sorry but... what are table toppers? are they like table cloths that cover the whole table or are they the ones that only cover the middle of the table:blush

-Filet crochet= filethaken (or filethaakwerk)
-Pattern= patroon
-Patterns= patronen
-Doily= Onderleggertje

I hope that was of any help:) are you just looking for sites or would you like me to find you some sites where they sell books and magazines?

[sunnywolfgar]

Some people in the olden days called them table toppers. Its still a doily just larger.
yes books and magazines would help too.

Never know what I may come across.
Thank--you for any help...
