Doily #2...

Yeah, yeah, I didn't exactly stick to the course... I strayed, I veered, I crocheted. But didn't it turn out sweet? This one is much more naturally flat than the one I made for my Mom. Maybe I'm getting better at it! I'm giving this one to my sis, Steph. It was very easy- easier than the first- until I got to the very last row. Thought I was so close to being done... only to be stalled by a gazillion picots! See those tiny little... blips, around the edge of the doily? They're just a chain three, slip stitch in the first stitch and then you move on. But what a bugger they are! I finally got the hang of it about half way through! And they really do add a sweet touch, so it's not like I'll skip that step, next time. Just brace myself that it's gonna take a while. I've got one more doily to make before next week... plus, I figure, I don't need to do any house cleaning before, say, Thursday- else the kiddos will undo all our hard work. Right? So that gives me two more crochet days!! woo-hoo!
