i have a question what sort of hook do you use? I've seen several different sizes online. The pattern i have is not specific about the length. how long are hooks that are used on 'ghans usually?

beautiful!

hi. i just saw your question. It really depends on what size opera u were using. I have found size 20 Lizbeth by www.hhtatting.com, works nicely in comparision to size 20 Opera. Hope that helps.

I recently completed this doily from Patricia Kristoffersen's Exquisite Doilies. It is Dorothy. Made with size 10 aunt lydia's thread and size 8 steel hook, 18 inches in diameter. Pics are clickable.

nice job!

very pretty! you did a great job on that doily!

nice job! i really like that design.

great job! I really like it!

starching,. blocking, and pinning are all good ideas with a framed piece. Another thing, I do is to "tack" the edges of the doily down with a needle and sewing thread. Some people prefer an adhesive but I think that actually would make the thread deterioriate more quickly. I would definately recommend the sewing though.

its gorgeous Cathryn! Excellent job!
