While waiting for the girls to get finished with their handwriting yesterday I couldn't resist grabbing all the fall colored yarn I used in the tablerunner and decided to make a doily. I finished it within about 1 hours time and now need to make another one to make a set. Very addicting.
I used the pattern "Your Neighbor Lady's Doilies" but changed it just a bit so that I could get two repeats of the colors into it. My doily has 10 rounds not 9. My row 9 has individual dc all the way around and then I crocheted row 9 from the pattern for round 10.
For those who were wondering about the tablerunner, the so called pattern is strictly from my head. There would have to be some tweaking done to it before I ever share it. It's okay for me but not okay enough to share, for now.
The girls are not happy today. They believed the weather forecast last night as far as getting snow this morning. Not one flake is to be seen here in the valley. Just rain. The girls were so hoping to have a snow day today.
That is sooooo cute! I can't wait to have our first snowfall here in the Ocooch Mountains.
ReplyDeleteOh the doily goes perfect with the runner. I do love those colors. Poor girls, no snow day. I wish I could be so enthusiastic but you know how I feel about it. No wonder older people go south for the winter. After all these years of snow I'm about ready to go too.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty colors in your tablerunner and doily.
ReplyDeleteSigh. The girls are awful young to come to the realization that weather people are liars. :o)
Love it! And the table runner is also gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOh -- I want one of those! You make it sound so easy....I love crocheting, but I struggle with new stitches and techniques. Keep inspiring me and maybe I'll get it right.
ReplyDeleteI just love this doily! The word "snow" isn't even a thought in these parts right now, but tell your girls strange things can happen when it concerns weather. :-)
ReplyDeleteDarling Doily!
ReplyDeleteAlso, am totally loving the Autumn Leaf Background and header!

ReplyDeleteKarrrrfeeee! I absolutely love this doily and the table runner! You never cease to amaze me with the work of your hands! These colors are so rich and yummy, and it looks so perfect!!
ReplyDeleteSorry the girls didn't get snow! Tell them we haven't had any either! HA!!! It has been lovely here though! Nice and cool, but not cold and so sunny and blue!! Just the way I like it!!
Love and hugs to you, my friend! It's great to visit!

I love your table runner in the Fall colors! I found you on Ravelry - thanks for being a friend there. I'll have to follow your blog too now that I found it. Becky is a wonderful friend of mine too. It's a small world when you blog. I'm looking forward to taking a closer look at your blog. Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteOooo...it's lovely! Crochet is very relaxing isn't it? And quick! I find it much faster (and certainly easier to rip out) than knitting, but I love them both!
