100 Days of Doilies Day 99

See how easy it is to get off your carefully crafted schedule? I totally forgot to post yesterday AGAIN!

The next to the last doily in this series is one of my favs! It's another wedding cake lace this time in burgundy and ecru. Yummy!


On another note, I started an Artfire shop. You can see it by clicking over there>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

100 Days of Doilies Day 98

Well that was fun (not). Nothing like death to totally throw your schedule off kilter for a week.

Back to the doilies.

I made this one in the 90's. I like the pattern. I think I'll make some more!

100 Days of Doilies Day 97

Hey I found it! This is the FIRST knitted doily I did back in Colorado. So nice to see it again! It was quite difficult to get the hang of doing this. That makes the Chinese ones even more $%#@&. Knowing the degree of difficulty and the small price paid for doing it.

100 Days of Doilies Day 96

100 Days of Doilies Day 95

OMG! these little oval doilies! I made dozens and dozens of them in every color you can imagine. I found the pattern the other day so there  may be more to come.

100 Days of Doilies Day 92


At one time I did quite a bit of filet crochet. I gave a lot of it away as gifts. I managed to keep this one (yay). Roses is a theme I have carried through most of my adult life.

100 Days of Doilies Day 91

This little beauty must have been sewn to something at one time or another. There are threads EVERYWHERE. It's quite small maybe 7" across made from thin thread maybe size 20 or 30.  I have no clue where I got it.

100 Days of Doilies Day 90

Digging back in my personal stash for the last few doilies in this series.

this is one of the first doilies I did after I learned to crochet. I mean seriously, can you tell how complicated it is? Add to that fact it was an ancient vintage pattern very poorly written. But I jumped in with both feet and all guns blazing. I never did finish it 100% because I couldn't figure the last bits out. It's falling apart now but I still love it.

100 Days of Doilies Day 89

I must have made this pattern at least once before because there were marks on it but I can't remember doing it. I also had to look for a picture online so I could see what I was getting into as the picture was AWOL. Daybreak by Elizabeth Hiddleson.

The middle blue is lighter. So pretty.

100 Days of Doilies Day 88

A new pattern for me  done in a variegated white and mint green Knit Cro Sheen from the big haul of thread I made last month.

100 Days of Doilies Day 87

Wedding Cake Lace in ecru and sage green. Simply gorgeous.

This pattern can be difficult. At first it's repetitive and boring and then it's so complicated and poorly written out I had to underline each little step as I went. I still did it wrong and had to fudge it on the last green round. The good news  is it's so pretty I have several more planned and I know that they'll go faster.
