Fern Leaf Doily
Finally!
Oh my, I was beginning to think I was never going to finish this doily!
This one was a bit difficult for me, and tested my patience for sure. :-)
I've lost count how many times I had to rip out a round or two and
start over.
Whew!
Fern Leaf Doily
This doily measures about 16" in diameter, which makes it the
largest crochet doily piece I've ever made.
I'm really kind of surprised it blocked out like it did because when I got it all
pinned down I could see a big mistake...can you?
I'm not telling! LOL
I found this pattern from a fellow blogger and crochet buddy. :-)
Thanks Kate
for answering my questions and for your words of
encouragement!
If you'd like to see this doily in a different color and get the
pattern, I hope you'll visit Kate
You know, I don't really know why I'm so obsessed with making doilies.
I don't really use them in my home, however,
I think this one found it's place in our guest room, and the lamp
kind of hides my mistake. :-)
So, what's next you say?
Well, I'm thinking of something a bit smaller, however, every time
I visit Kate's blog, I see another beautiful doily she's made,
and I'm hooked.
The ferns I'm showing you today, are from my front yard.
Such an interesting plant, and they love the wet climate here.
Hope you are enjoying the weekend.
I'll be over soon to get caught up with you!
