First doily
Here is the first doily I've ever made, recently completed.
Design: "Springtime" by Hazel I. Henry
Thread: Aunt Lydia's #10 cotton, colour "Delft"
Hook: Milward #4 vintage steel hook (same as US #7 steel
hook)
Pattern graciously supplied by Spoula.
Doily is pinned on a cushion.Last edited by MeToo!; 07-18-2017 at 11:51 AM.

Hi MeToo,
I am so glad you posted your doily. I told you it was pretty. It looks really good over that dark blue pillow.

Nice to hear from you all. Thanks to you, I feel encouraged to try doing a doily again if I can find a pattern that isn't full of trebles.
Something denser and less hole-y.

MeToo, I am sending you 3 more doily patterns that are dense and less holes. (ha) Remember you can substitute Double crochets for treble stitches if you want. They look small and simple.

@Jean Marie. Thanks so much for your kindness. I just started working on what is meant to be a coaster, i.e., about 4-5 inches in diameter, only 6 rounds, but am using #3 CotLin thread + a 4.5mm hook instead, so it will be twice as large and I'll call it a doily. It should take about 3 hours, maybe. You could probably do it in 1/2 an hour...
This wee project is just to pass the time (like I have that much to spare) until my yarn for my next doily project arrives.
