I made a doily


Usually when I travel I don't take my yarns along but instead I take my doily threads and smaller size crochet hooks with me because they occupy less space. I take a print out of one or two doily patterns and that is enough for me to keep myself in touch with crochet during a month long vacation.


The thread is from my stash which I have been having since God-knows-when. I got the pattern from www.liveinternet.ru but I don't have the direct link to the pattern. 


Did you notice the new watermark? I am thinking of making some slight changes to the blog like changing the header, fonts and such. I'll do it slowly, one at a time.



How is your week going? I am working on some patterns for the shop. I have so much to share with you. Do you remember the scrap yarn rug that I started about a year ago? Well, it's completed! I am waiting for an opportunity to photograph it. It's so hot here and it's driving me crazy. I just don't feel like doing anything. I tried to work on a baby blanket which was started and abandoned about a couple of months ago, but without much success. I will post photos of it someday. Until then, have fun and enjoy the rest of your week!

  1. It's beautiful with its faded color. And a nice pattern
    If I had taken material for just a soillie, I''d died of boredom most of the time. It takes me an afternoon to make one. Now I take my paper & fabric pieces to make patchwork hexagons.
    Thanks for sharing, it'll be one I'll make this summer ;-)

  9. Lovely doily pattern and lovely color too. Doilies are a nice portable project and easy to take along when you are busy and on the go.

  11. What a fascinating talent! My mother used to make doilies too and I remember I used to ask her to teach me how but I never got around to learning that. But I do enjoy looking at them.
