A Mary Werst Doily done

[Linda]

This one took some time to complete due to the detail in the stitches. I do believe all the effort was well worth it with seening the finished doily. It's made with #10 Royale thread in Mint Green. It's from the book Extra-Special Doilies published by Leisure Arts and is called "Exclusive". The designer is Mary Werst.

Beautiful! I haven't made any doilies in a while, but this one makes me want to get out my thread...very pretty!

[RoseRed]

Please tell me how many rounds that doily is!!!!!

 

It's only 31 rows and measures 12 inches HOWEVER,

the special stitches are:

double trebles

back post single crochets

front post single crochets

front post trebles

split dc

split clusters

decreases

 

All these take extra time for me to get them right.

[RoseRed]

31 rows is PERFECT for a babyghan in 4ply ww. That'll make it just about 3 ft.

 

You should be very proud of your self - those are a lot of complex stitches and you did an AMAZING! job.

 

I looked and looked and the book runs about $8-10 and it's the ONLY pattern in it I want. I might just have to break down and get it anyway.

Gorgeous doily, and it would make a beautiful baby blanket RoseRed

[Granny Square]

Beautiful! It looks great in that color, I think it brings out the 3D effect better in color. That is the one doily I've made from that book so far (mine was white). I ended up 'charting out' part of the pattern to make it easier to follow.

Wow, it is gorgeous! You did a great job making it!

Beautiful! Love the layered look of it! You do beautiful work!!!

[sunnywolfgar]

awesome and such a beautiful color. How do you block something so layered like that. I've been here a while thinking about that.

[curlysue]

[Kristie]

[RachelG]

Terri...I just blocked as usual, being careful not to pin down any of the layers. On the outside I decided it looked better (to me at least) with some hint of points rather than just round. Of course, that's a personal preference.

It's beautiful!
