Crochet/Old pattern

Question
Hi! During the 1980's I made an afghan with crocheted squares in an off white color. I believe the squares were 12" x 12" or 14" x 14" made out of the afghan and popcorn stitch. The popcorn stitch was used in a patterned way which made a diamond shape. Once done I embroidered with colored yarn in each diamond. I lost the book in which the  directions were. Is there anyway of finding this pattern? I have been looking for awhile over the internet with no luck. The book may have been Leisure Art but I am not sure. Thank you and have a great day, DIane

Answer
Hi Diane,
I'm sorry I am not familiar with this pattern.  However, if you think this might be Leisure Arts, you can go to their website, www.leisurearts.com.  I have had great luck with e-mailing them direct about questions on patterns in their books.  They are very helpful.
Other than that, I don't know where I'd look.
Good luck.

Expertise

Traditional Crochet and Filet Crochet (not clothes) I do more thread crochet than yarn.

Experience

I have been crocheting for over 50 years. As a child growing up in New Orleans, LA, I had aunts and older cousins who taught me, but now they are all gone and sadly, there is no one who crochets in my area. I hope to be able to meet fellow crocheters through this website, and I'd be delighted if I could help someone answer a question. I'm sure I'll be asking my share, also. I specifically enjoy doilies and afghans. I really like designing filet crochet. I don't make clothes, other than hats and scarves.

Education/Credentials
I learned as a child in the 50's from aunts and older cousins.
