Doilies

My most recent venture: Doilies!

I don't have a great collection yet, but here are the ones I've completed.

First one: Fail.
See all that ruffling? That wasn't supposed to happen.

Second attempt: Much happier with the end product.

I'm such a fan of the picot edging!

...so I did it again, this time in red, and this time, larger...

  3. The picot edging does look great. That's a stitch I never really use but I like it.

  4. I think I've said it before, but your doilies are beautiful. I like how the picot stitch really dresses up a project, but I sure hate doing it!

  7. Wow those are amazing! They're so intricate. I'm so used to working with what seems like "thick" wool for my afghan, I can't imagine working with something so thin! lol

  9. These are beautiful, Mindy. Love the red one. I love crocheting with thread. It's been a while since I made a doily and you've inspired me to start another one.

    Blessings,
    Pamela
