Still more doilies

I love these things!  I am mastering the crochet chain edging, too!  This doily is Egeblad, knit in DMC Baroque crochet cotton on 00 needles.

I have picked another doily pattern so that I always have one on needles, because I enjoy them so much.

A new love -- knit doilies

Just finished and blocked my first knit doily, the Swirl Leaf doily.  It's been knit for quite some time, but I never sat down with a teeny-tiny crochet hook to crochet the picot edging.  Finally bit the bullet, and other than being time consuming (88 loops of 7-stitch chains) it wasn't that bad.  I have all my grandmother's teeny-tiny crochet hooks, that I thought I would never use when I got them but just wanted them for the sentiment, but they came in handy.

Knit with Aunt Lydia's Crochet 10 thread, using a 00 needle.  The instructions called for DPN, but there was no way I was doing that, so I just used the Turkish cast-on and went to town.  It measures 13" across.  While I was knitting, I kept saying, "My fingertips hurt so bad from pushing stitches off those very pointy needles.  Never again."  But apparently not, because I have the Egeblad doily on needles, and am on my way.
