Poinsettia Doily

Another gift I made was this Poinsettia Doily in a gorgeous deep red.


A straight-on shot:
Hubby and I both liked the way the 'petals' seemed to swirl from the center, so I did not attempt to force them straight (as the pattern suggested). This was his favorite doily of the ones I made for gifts. ...maybe it's his all-time favorite, I never asked for clarification. It's just nice to have someone like what you've made!

  3. Just beautiful! Your work has inspired me. One of my goals for 2012 is to learn to make a doily. I just keep looking at your blog and it got me to take the plunge. Thank you so much for sharing!

  6. Gorgeous! I wish I could work with thread, but I'm all thumbs and the patterns are too intricate for me. I like to crochet simple things that I can do mindlessly while watching TV, and not lose my place.

    I like the way the petals are too.
