It's Christmas... doilies

[MimiFL]

A couple of Christmas doilies to start the holiday season.

 

This one's called 8-point star, I think (ETA: found the pattern, it's here). It's from Celt's vintage doilies. I was inspired by cosmicmonster's rendition of it. I called this one Christmas Morning (just because). I used Royale in myrtle green, victory red, and white. It's about 15.5".

 

 

This next one's from the Ultimate Doilies book. I call it Christmas Bells (I think the original name is Swinging Bells). Christmas colors on this one too, and edged in gold, just because I like gold. Approx. 13" across.

 

 

Hope you enjoy them.

What beautiful, beautiful work! I am a great fan of delicate thread crochet myself, and yours is the best.

Love those doilies. Good work.

 

That touch of gold on the 2nd one is really pretty.

Great job! I like the gold edging of the second one, it is so festive-looking!

Those are the most beautiful doilies I have ever seen. I can't even make a beginner snowflake! I am so jealous. I could never make anything with thread!

Your doilies are beautiful. I'm afraid my doily making days are over unless they come up with some wonder drug for pain.

[lynnmax]

Mom just called to tell me about this thread... LOVE YOUR DOILY!!! Just beautiful. I am excited that you liked mine enough to do it yourself. Though I must say, mine looks rather boring compared to your holiday colors.

[MimiFL]

Thank you all.

 

cosmicmonster, white is never boring!

 

CrochetRN, it just takes a bit of getting used to. Personally, I find snowflakes more difficult than doilies, because there's just not much to hang on to. At least with doilies, only the first row is a little hard. It gets easier after that.
