I finished crocheting this doily about a week or so ago. Tonight, I starched it and ironed it to shape. The pattern was very easy to make. The problem I had was "seeing" but it did get a little easier as it progressed. The pattern is called
spiral simplicity doily. I made it for my uncle who requested doilies for the arms of his couch; one down and one to go! I'm not sure if I used the correct gauge thread because the label was missing when I bought my stash of crochet thread at a thrift store and I really don't know much about crocheting with thread since this is only my 2nd time to ever crochet with it. Anyway, if you're looking for a simple, not flowery doily to crochet you might want to consider this one. Hope you enjoyed looking. Hugs....
I absolutely love the doily, it is beautiful you did a wonderful job, I want to make one of those one day but I don't think I'm that talented enough, lol
ReplyDeleteTry it! It is so simple. The only trouble I had was vision related and I was looking through my glasses then over my glasses. The pattern itself is very easy and I was thinking that it might make an interesting afghan or baby blanket if the pattern is made out of ww and continued for additional rows. Believe me, I can not do complicated things so if you think you'd like to try it then go for it! :)
ReplyDeleteWow! Gorgeous. I don't know if I'd have the patience for threadwork, so I just have to admire everyone else's :-)
ReplyDeleteLovely work, Sharon! What a pretty doily... seeing as how I don't have eyesight or coordination for threadwork, I have to make do with admiring everyone else's :-)) Olivia
ReplyDeleteGingerbread Lady, you would be surprised at how easy it was to make. Thread takes a bit getting used to but with a little looking over my glasses and a little looking through them and it wasn't too much of a problem. Check out the pattern, it is very easy. I didn't have the courage to try something "frillier" but that's ok since it is for a guy.
