I'm so sorry to hear about Lyn. Her family will be in my prayers.

Your 2nd image link look very much like mosaic crochet (apache tears design) Apache tears mosiac crochet sample There are a gazillion tutorials that can teach you the technique.🌼

I like this stitch and I'm going to try it! Looks much easier to do than the "Centre Single Crochet" but the resulting stitch pattern does resemble it. Won't know until I try though. Thanks for sharing the link.

I love adding shawls and ponchos to the doll sets. They usually work up fast and they can be used with other outfits.

From Ravelry: My Favourite Things Infinity Scarf Knitting Pattern (that the designer describes as a recipe) Easily Adapted to be worked on a crochet hook. If I recall correctly, I made these on my Tunisian Crochet Hook, In the Round - A Little known technique that I learned from Kim Guzman here: Kim Guzman - Casual Cowl Tunisian Crochet Pattern My Favourite Things Infinity Scarves: Kim Guzmans Design Tunisian Crochet Casual Cowl:

I recently discovered a book chock full of Tapestry design charts. The book also covers all kinds of information about the technique. Link: The Hooktionary - Amazon.ca Listing Here are a few projects I made from the charts contained in this book:

It is a great gift when there is family aware of online connections so people have a chance to know rather than just guessing. It is an incredibly generous and kind thing for them to think of her online friends at this time.

Stunning! Thank you for sharing!! I admire your ability to work with such fine thread. I still use up to no.40 but that is as fine as I am comfortable with. Again, your doilies are beautiful.

Good morning!

Oh no. I am so broken hearted about Lynn. She said she was having some health problems that were keeping her from crocheting but I so hoped that it was arthritis. Brenda, it’s nice that she reached out so we at least know what has happened. Please tell her how much we all cared about her mom.

Amazing! I love seeing posts of your doilies! ❤

My pa used to talk about this program (on the radio).

What a treat, so many all at once. Thanks so much. 😍

I enjoy every card Lynn sent to me. She was always thinking of us. Rene i pray you find comfort going into these days , weeks and months. She is out of pain, free and happy. I know she will be dearly missed. We will miss her here.

Well, sitting here looking at the last card I got from Lyn, She was such an encourager of people and I will miss her very much.... We always said we were birthday twins.... born on the same day.. Raising my hook to you my dear friend...RIP

Another one from my Darski files Lots to Love 14 Inch Baby Doll Sweet Baby Mine Dress For some reason I don't think I've made this one before for the 14" doll. When I looked just now it appears I made it as a gift for a 16" baby doll I gifted back in 2019, which tells me this can also be adapted for the larger baby doll. It also says I need to look through my doll binders more often for patterns that are getting neglected.

RIP Lyn. Thanks for letting us know. It is one of the challenges of a online community.

Hi there, I don't think these doilies are any different from all the others I have posted here!

Thank you! No, I don't think I've heard of "crochenit" and so I'll have to look into it. I often do "reversible Tunisian crochet" which is also worked on a long double ended hook, but creates a denser fabric. You wouldn't happen to have a link to a crochenit tutorial would you? ETA: I Just looked up crochenit ..... As far as I can see it IS Reversible (or double sided) Tunisian Crochet. A technique that I love too. I suppose you can create lighter fabrics with more drape also, depending on the stitch pattern you choose. I've a couple books about double sided Tunisian Crochet but I tend to stick with the more basic stitches which create thicker, cushy(ier) fabrics ...

These are really nice! Textured and very warm looking! Have you ever heard of crochenit? It is a wonderful technique and super easy and you end up with ultra light reversible finished products. You use a long double ended hook, and pick up stitches like knitting and crochet them off. I have been doing it for years and years.
