Splendid doily - crochet

Sometime back I have seen this doily on preeti's blog.  I liked the colors and thought of giving it a try.  At that time i have bought some anchor cotton crochet thread for the first time and tried the doily with that thread. The doily was stiff and i didn't block it.  But I have come across the same doily in the net which has been blocked.  It was looking very neat.  So I have decided to block it in my free time.  Now over to the doily.

Hope all of u like it.  

Crocheted green doily

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.
