to crochet! This weekend was one of those times. I had some HDT from Bre-Aly that was just calling me (size 10 Aiden colorway). Blue is my favorite color. Green is my grandson Aidan's favorite color. I just had to make something! This is supposed to be Coaster 42 from Ondori Crochet Lace with Complete Diagrams, but in size 10 thread it's 8" across... a little too big for a coaster!
As I see the picture on the blog, I can tell I didn't pay close attention when blocking this last night. Some of the inward-facing points are not defined enough for me. I think I'll wait until it needs to be washed to fix it, though.
It's been a while since I've picked up a crochet hook, and boy can I feel it in my shoulders this morning! I guess I was exercising muscles that haven't been used in a while. I love being able to count crochet as a form of exercise! ; )
Very pretty Diane and that surprises me because I usually do not like crochet.
ReplyDeleteHi Diane, What a pretty doily. I love how the colors work out in this.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work, Diane. Isn't crochet like "instant gratification" compared to tatting?
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful! You are so talented!
ReplyDeleteThis doily looks great, Diane. Bravo, another masterpiece.
ReplyDeleteHi Diane, Thanks for dropping by my blog and leaving a comment. My crotchet is very basic...probably totally forgotten since being introduced to bobbin lace and tatting :) This piece is gorgeous, and I love your daffodil doily too.
ReplyDeleteIt is very pretty Diane. You are so fast!
ReplyDeleteFor me its quilting and knitting. I still do tat a bit for an exchange and some HDTing.
ReplyDeleteWow Diane! I wish I knew how to crochet. It must be a nice change of pace. It is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteDiane, that is beautiful! Very very nice work! I always enjoy seeing what you've been up to.
ReplyDeleteHow did I miss this one? And where have you been? You're being very quiet!
