On Learn about Butterflies Day, we’d like to thank butterflies for inspiring filet crochet panels, refrigerator magnets, doilies, and more.

A CKC Member calls this crocheted piece a “Waxwing Butterfly,” because it has been stiffened with wax instead of the more commonly-used starch. Photo used with permission.

Happy Birthday, Barbie! …and thanks for inspiring so many talented knitters and crocheters to design clothing for you.

Photo is of several pattern leaflet covers from Annie’s Calendar Bed Doll Society™, The 1993 Collector’s Series. The crocheted dresses were designed by Annie Potter, the founder of Annie’s Attic, Inc., a mail-order pattern and supply company at the time of publication.
