I just finished my knit doily. I think it came out pretty good. I didn't like sewing on the border but it wasn't that bad. This picture shows the doily all blocked.
This is the doily before I blocked it. I had already sewn the border on. It reminded me of a beret!
I washed the doily and then pinned it on my board. This board had a great 12 inch circle already printed on it. It was so easy to pin the doily to the proper size. I laid a piece of saran wrap below the doily so my board wouldn't get soaked. I took advantage of the weather and let it dry outside. So easy!!
Turning my attention to my lovely slabs! I have some nice fabric to sash and border the blocks. This will be such a great table runner!
Oh your doily is so delicate and lovely. I've only heard of crocheted doilies before...that is some fancy knitting...
ReplyDeleteI have to get going on my slabs, too hugs, Julierose
Thanks, Julierose! I think crocheted doilies are more common. I like knitting so I try to find patterns. They're very similar to knitting lace. Enjoy the heat!!
DeleteI love your slabs. they are so fun and remind me of strawberry and kiwi..... a great runner for sure!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I love that color combo. Reminds me of nature! Can't wait to work on it!
DeleteSuch a pretty doily. I can't imagine how hard it is to knit one. Is there a chart you have to follow?
ReplyDeleteI like the colors you chose for your table runner.
Thank you, Em! This one didn't have a chart but some doilies do have them. I've always loved pink and green together. I should garden but I kill everything!!
DeleteRosemary the doily is so beautiful...my mom always had them on our bureaus!
ReplyDeleteLove the colors on the table runner :)
Thanks, Nancy! So glad you found my blog! I love doilies but they're not as easy to find anymore. They're quick to make. The table runner is from a block swap. Quilting fun!!
