Granny Square Posted December 6, 2009 I just finished this, the last of my Christmas gifts are done, yay! This is from a pattern from Woman's day magazine from September 1984. I modified the eyes to be (hopefully) more cat-like, the pattern used a diamond lacet for eyes, which unfortunately made the eyes look like Xs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dawn143 Posted December 7, 2009 That's beautiful work.... I also enjoyed viewing your album with the many lovely doilies.... WOW! I need to get back into doilies! I've never done a filet/graph one.... I wonder if there is a book that will teach you how?... Thanks for sharing... GBU!:) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Granny Square Posted December 7, 2009 Thanks everyone! Terry, I'm hoping my SIL will use it as a chair cloth/antimacassar, so I'm not framing it. I have a large (round, not filet) doily that I'm putting to that use, which she remarked on when they visited last summer, and they have a cat, so.... Dawn, here are a couple of free sites that can get you started on filet. It's really easy once you get the hang of counting the grids.
