My friend wanted to make a shade for her table lamp. She asked if I could crochet her a big doiley....
Do you think I could say no? ....of course not! Crocheting is a pleasureble thing to do. So, with a ball of cotton thread, I sat on my throne and started!
This was in the afternoon...before midnight arrived, and in between other housechore routine demands, I'm almost finished.
Might sound funny, but I crochet till my fingers gets numbed and I still call it enjoyable!
My friend is going to starch and shape this unto a bowl... so this post will have to be continued when I can go back to see how she will finish this project. Stay tuned.
Very pretty. We usually place something like this, say, under a vase or a fruit bowl...or make it bigger/broader and use as a tablecloth for a round coffee table.
ReplyDeleteThank you for giving me some ideas to dream for Arthur...Oneday perhaps I could be more ambitious and make a big round table cloth.
DeleteLucky friend. I am looking forward to seeing how your friend uses it.
ReplyDeleteNorma, I'll go and check my friend with my camera sometime soon and will certainly update the end project...also am very curious to see her creativity:)
DeleteHi Annie! Oh, what a lovely doily you've made for your friend. She's a lucky one to have a friend like you to crochet this pretty doily for her. Can't wait to see how it looks. I crochet too and I do know about the numb fingers! ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for popping in to see me.
be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Shelia, Glad you can relate to what I'm talking about...at least I know I'm not alone in this :)
DeleteIt's lovely , Annie ! It reminds me of my Aunt who used to make this :D We've got lots of doilies before but don't know where they are now tsk tsk :P
