My First Doily

For the longest time, I’ve admired the intricate detail and laciness of doilies. This is the first doily that I ever crocheted. I knew someday, that I had to try doilies, but didn’t expect to suddenly make it. 

    One Thursday evening, I was at my Crochet/Knit group in the yarn store, near where I used to live. After getting up to take a break & my husband’s call to chat, I happened upon this beautiful crochet thread. It was in the Discount Basket. Of course, I grabbed it to purchase. All of a sudden, I felt like working on a new project: a doily, which I totally improvised. It helped to have crocheted coasters, which had some of the same types of stitches. 

   Since I dearly love shopping at Michael’s Arts & Crafts, they are recommended.  used the “Shaded Blues” Cotton Size 10 crochet thread by Aunt Lydia.You can find their crochet thread here. I’ll provide a link, once I’m part of an affiliate program.
