Doilies like lace shawls must be blocked!
I soak it, wring it out and pin it out on a board.
I spray it with starch and let it dry thoroughly.
When I was blocking it out, I realized I made a slight mistake-this has only 11 points and not 12. When it was a wad in my lap,
I never noticed. I am not going to rip it out--
it is going to be unique!

In fact, I am going to make another just like it
for my other end table!

Very pretty! Eleven is such a fun number, anyway… :) -Marsel
ReplyDeleteIt is lovely! I have a number of doilies that my Mom and Fletcher's Mom had. We also have some small ones that were starched to death and they are ornaments for our Christmas tree.
ReplyDeleteWhat a difference between blocked and unblocked. It looks lovely under your beautiful bowl.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty! Perfect for under your gorgeous wood bowls.
ReplyDeleteIt turned out perfectly. I can't wait to get my small hooks and thread out again. Your wood bowls show off the doily to perfection. Or is it the opposite? :-)

Super pretty!
ReplyDeleteI think it was meant to have eleven points!
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely doily. I sometimes come up with a different number of points even if I crochet the same pattern over and over, but I figure no one knows but me. Since the smallest I go is mercerized cotton, I don't usually block anything as it seems to hold its shape better. I also usually do mostly simple patterns so that makes a difference, too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! It looks great and is a real treasure.
