Spider Web Doily
Isn't this doily just wonderful? Just my idea of what a doily should look like!
This is the one I started in Madrid but didn't quite finish. When I resumed work on it I wasn't happy with it - no matter what I did it wouldn't lie flat - no amount of stretching and pinning out was going to make a difference. But I loved the pattern so much so I ripped it out and started again. The pattern called for 16 repeats in the round but I altered it to 12 and hey presto! it worked.
All I need now is a nice vintage plate to put it on - Oh and some delicoius cakes to display on it.

ReplyDeleteHi Megan. Thanks for your comment. It was seeing your finished doily on Ravely that put me on to the pattern. So thanks for that. It's good to get inspiration from others.
