My first attempt at knitting a doily. I used #10 thread and 2mm needles. It sure doesn't go as fast as crocheting and it's hard to keep all the stitches on the needles. I found it interesting that the edging is crocheted! | |
I made this Trish K tabletopper called Timeless Lace but I used #30 thread instead of the #10 called for and got a beautiful 16" doily. | |
I wanted to try adding beads to my crochet work so I designed this simple coaster. It works up quickly and helped me get the idea of adding beads without undertaking a huge doily. | |
This is a Trish Kristoffersen doily called Stunning and it really is. I love all the detail in the design. The pattern can be found in her book, Simply Delightful Doilies published by Liesure Arts. | |
This is a doily that I found on a web page called Sunshine. The original was done in bright yellow but I chose the Christmas variegated to make a festive doily. | |
Another Trish Kristoffersen doily called Aurora. I made this one for my brother-in-law for his new marble table. It measures 20" across. The pattern can be found in her book, Simple Elegance published by Liesure Arts. | |
Can you tell yet who my favorite doily designer is? Yup, another Trish Kristoffersen doily called Impressive. I made this one with #30 thread and it is very dainty looking. The pattern can be found in her book, Simply Delightful Doilies published by Liesure Arts. | |
This doily is called Pineapple Oval. I made it for my daughter's new apartment. There is also a matching round doily. The pattern can be found in Trish's book, Absolutely Gorgeous Doilies published by Liesure Arts. | |
Another Trish doily! This one is called French Vanilla and is from the Coffee 'N Cream book. I made it with some #30 thread that my Grandmother had in her stash. | |
Trish again but I've forgotten which one it is! | |
This doily is called Pineapple Song and comes from Trish's book, Absolutely Gorgeous Doilies and it is! I made it with #20 Opera thread for a friend who has a B&B. | |
I couldn't find a shamrock doily to decorate for St Patricks Day so I created this one myself. | |
Another Trish doily that I've forgotten the name of! |
