This doily pattern was in my to do list for a longggggggggggggggggggggg time. The pattern was free and it was from freepatterns.com. The name given to this doily is Christmas Amaryllis doily. I have seen this in some blogs crocheted by the doily lovers.
Here i have used the pearl cotton thread no.8 green color. This is the first time i am crocheting a doily with thread. While crocheting I didn't get the proper shaper. But after blocking I was happy to see the shape with pineapples. But on the blocking side I didn't do a perfect job. The edges are not that much perfect. Try to block once more. Now have a look at my greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen doily.
Today I was happy for one more reason that is, I have found out the option for compressing the image files from MB to Kb. And today all the three images got uploaded within the blink of my eye. I used to edit my pictures using ms paint. But now I am using Microsoft Office Picture manager to do this.
In my next post I will come up with a small embroidered project. So do watch my space. Till then,Happy Crocheting.
A fantastic doily! I love the colour and the design is so elegant. Good for you to learn tricks with the camera and computer!

Beautiful doily Shami! I have taught myself the basic crochet stitches but the items I put together are often not what they are supposed to be. Your pineapple pattern looks perfect and I guess blocking is an important step. Glad you found a computer tip allowing you to more quickly upload your photos. Thanks also for visiting my blog. I hadn't been here for awhile and your posts are always so inspiring.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful doily! Love the green color!
