Crochet Thread Doily Finished

My first doily using thread is complete! A friend requested two doilies a year ago and I have finally finished the smaller of the two! It feels good to have this project complete and for it to have turned out so beautifully! 

I used a free pattern that you will find here:

Crochet Curling

So I made it to round 13 or so and it started to curl up on me around the edges. The pattern was for a 5 inch circle and I hadn't thought about maybe needing to add some extra stitches in to keep it flat until now. Eek! I have to rip it back out a few rows until just before it started curling, after my two shell stitches I chain two right now and I am going to change that to chaining 3 between my shell stitches. Crossing fingers this works out! I hope to get to at least a 20 inch round doily, wish me luck!

Crochet Doily Begins

Today I have been attempting a doily for the second time. The first one I 

fastened off and decided on calling it a doily for myself I messed up 

somewhere on it. I was given an order a year ago for two doilies. It has 

taken me this long to scratch my original pattern idea and try one 

easier. Besides that missed stitch at beginning of last round I was doing 

pretty good. Time to rip that last round out and do it over. Onward 

March! 

Crochet Lazy Daisy Fingerless Gloves

Finally the last set of instructions for the second beginner's crochet a long have been given in the Beginner's Crochet Group on Facebook.  We made these beautiful hand/wristers! I ended up with two pairs one pair that came out larger than the other so I gave them to a friend that has larger hands, I also gave her a matching ear warmer to go with them. This pair as of right now are added into my collection of items that I will either keep, sell or give away. 

When I decided on a crochet a long project for the group as I am the administrator, it was winter time here in Oklahoma. It is now Spring with high 80's on the ten day forecast. Oh well its still winter in some parts of the country! :)
