Lacy Things
Doilies are my first love. I spent my childhood watching my grandmother work up the most beautiful doilies and lacy work, and I always dreamed my stitches would be as even as hers. I'm still not there yet, but I am comfortable enough to delve into thread work.
The one pictured at the left is one I believe my grandmother on my mother's side did. She's the one I watched all through my childhood and admired her work. I couldn't find a round one to photograph - I think they're all in use! But each is nearly perfect - even stitches, uniform points, no rumpling. This is what I will aspire to.
This page is a 'parking spot' to keep track of all the lovely patterns I come across, sort of a virtual pattern book. I hope you enjoy the treasures I've found, and the glimpse into our crochet history!
