I saw this pattern and couldn't wait to make this doily!
It is designed for multiple colors but I knew I had some grey crochet cotton that would be just right! I'm a little rusty at the small string and hook project but it is working out well overall.
I am using a new-to-me cotton called Artiste Mercerized Egyptian Cotton. (#10) I chose it for the color and it feels like any other crochet cotton I've ever used. I'm using a number 7 steel hook.
And I am ready to begin the gusset increases on the new sock. I'm doing a zig-zag up the side. Other than dropping my cable needle every few minutes, it is going well! In fact, I am on my second cable needle because the first one disappeared! I had tucked it in my watch strap to use on every other row, got up and did something in the kitchen and when I came back, no needle! lol
And I even loaded and began a quilt on the frame!
Nice to have the house full of stitching again!

Love the bright happy quilt - and the churn dash blocks!!! That crocheting is Beautiful!! its so delicate and lacy!
ReplyDeleteI dropped a metal dblpt needle yesterday and spent a ridiculous time looking for it. I even got out my magnetic wand thing and even after I found it I managed to drop it again right off the wand. It was like a comedy skit, it was so ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteWorking with crochet thread is interesting. I’ve knit a few doilies over the years. It’s a challenge to handle the thin thread, but satisfying to have a beautiful doily in the end.
ReplyDeleteLook at you go girl! The doily is beautiful. I almost always use ecru but the grey is beautiful. You're moving right along on the sock too. You get so much done.
