    I don't make doilies but it is something I would love to try! I started crocheting when I was young. I had one Grandmother who knit and one who would crochet. They both taught me the basics but I am much better at crocheting than knitting! I remember as a kid I would just make chain after chain after chain! I am big on homemade gifts and have many young nieces and nephews as well as a 12 year old son. I started looking up patterns and taught myself how to read them. Went from scarfs to hats to slippers then ventured into baby sweaters & booties and now I am making all the girls ponchos! I am always looking for something fun to make as a gift and just started selling a few items at craft shows or by word of mouth! I would love to find a good mitten pattern! The last one I made came out looking like an oven mitt! LOL! A cute little girls jumper would be something I would like to make too!

    Larisa, I see 2 pictures of doilies did you make them? They are amazing!!! I have never made anything with such a tiny hook! Where are you from in Eastern Europe? My son is from Northern Ossetia!
