Since then, there was a nice little Snowflake Doily pattern that 'cleansed my doily palette' after the huge project.
After my short break from doilies, patterns now keep popping up that interest me.
Olga just posted a doily she completed, and I liked it's simple pattern and elegance. She linked to the pattern.

Whatever it is, I probably won't be making this doily right now. But someday, I'm going to have to try it.
What is your preference? Written patterns or charts?
I prefer written patterns, but if the pattern is simple enough I can go with a chart. :)
ReplyDeleteI definitely prefer written patterns, but can do charts if I must!
ReplyDeleteMindy, you definitely should give a try to a charted doily pattern. It looks too overwhelming at the first glance, but it's actually not that difficult. Just choose a clear one. Some of the free ones on the Internet were photocopied from magazines and are very difficult to understand, besides that's a violation of copyrights, so I stay away from those. But the one above is of very good quality, the symbols are big and well visible. The only problem it's in UK terminology.
ReplyDeleteI love to crochet but don't take time to do it enough. For Christmas I made my granddaughter's bitty baby a darling red dress, bloomers and a matching hat with white furry trim. Loved doing it. I do like to crochet doilies from charts -- haven't tried anything else. There used to be a magazine "Magic Crochet" and their charts were so clean and easy to use.
