PK Doily Along

ChayaSar · December 27, 2006

Well, I was given a great Brochure of Patricia Kristofferson Doilies called Coffee 'n' Cream Doilies from my sp during the autumn run, and yesterday I finally started one of them. I am making it as part of a larger shadow box presentation for my Mother's 50th birthday in July. I would love to make ALL of the 9 doilies in this book during the course of this year, and was wondering if any of you ladies have any of her books of incredible doily patterns, and would like to join me???

I really want to get into thread in 2007, and thought that there are lots of people here who always speak so highly of her patterns, and thought we could showcase them here.

If there is interest I'll post a pic of my progress tomorrow. My mom's doily is Parakeet colored, and I think she is gonna just love it!

I'll go for it...I have the Absolutely Gorgeous Doilies book and my MIL has asked for doilies for her house (it's really the only decoration she uses, and doesn't have many). I told myself I'd attempt to make all 18 for her, giving her some throughout the year, and present her with the rest for Christmas. I'm thinking about 'layering' in some color (having certain sections be different colors instead of the whole thing be one solid color), and this should be pretty neat, since some of the patterns look like they have "smocking" or cabling in them. Let's try it! :hook

sammimag · December 27, 2006

I am so totally here! I have collected several of her books and already done most of the ones in Coffee & Cream but all for gifts so I only have one or two of them. I want some for myself! I might make a few designs from Mary Werst too. She is very PKesque.

ChayaSar · December 27, 2006

woot, welcome ladies, this should be fun!!! I've been having a lot of fun with this doily, once hubby wakes up I'll load the pics and post them here! Can't wait to see which ones you do! :hook

ChayaSar · December 28, 2006

Well, here is my progess so far on the 1st doily in the Coffee 'n' Cream book, it's called Espresso:

This is the center part, I'm debating doing the larger outside part in white, i'll decide the next time i work on this one :lol I think it would be pretty in 2 colors, but I love this parakeet color, so I might put off the color changing doily for my next one.

Suzan

ChayaSar · December 28, 2006

welcome suzan, so glad you can join us!! And pumpkin those doilies are really very nice.

How many books are there of Patricia Kristofferson's patterns??

DianeMT · December 28, 2006

I've done several PK doilies. They've always worked up so nice. I might dig out my books and join in on your crochetalong. Sounds like fun.

DianeMT · December 28, 2006

Jadyn05, she has about 20 leaflets out. I've collected most all of them.

DianeMT · December 30, 2006

ChayaSar · December 30, 2006

Diane it's never too late, I'm hoping to be working on her doilies all year, sry I didnt say something soon enough. But :welcome

sammimag · December 31, 2006

I started a small doily today from 99 little doilies #79 (I think.) I'll probably have it done sometime tomorrow.

DianeMT · December 31, 2006

If you have any other questions how to use this board you could read through this section here. There is a FAQ here.

Hope that helps and welcome to the board as you get the hang of checking this board out you will be amazed at all the creativity here. :hook My WIM list is a mile long 'cause of this board. It's a good thing:)

Does any of PK books has diagrams?

sammimag · December 31, 2006

Does any of PK books has diagrams?

Do you mean symbol patterns? None of the ones I own do. The books do have clear descriptions of the stitches PK likes to use to get the cool texture her doilies have.

sammimag · December 31, 2006

I finished my first doily. I made a very small one:) It's #79 from 99 Little doilies. I used #10 opera thread in a blue-green.

I still need to block and weave in the ends.

ChayaSar · December 31, 2006

i only have 1 of her books, and the one i have does not have charts. But there are full color pics of each doily completed, so that's helpful to me to see where mine fits in to what hers looked like.

I-crochet-2 · January 1, 2007

I would also like to try my hand at one of these. Ill see if I can find a booklet. This will be my first crochet along. Do we post everyday or does it matter?

DianeMT · January 1, 2007

None of her books are charted. I have most of all of her books. I have made quite a few of her doilies, but I have used size 80 tatting thread for them. It's been awhile since I have made these. I don't have any of these as I have sold most of them, given a few away as gifts, never made one for myself, but I'm keeping this one I"m working on. You can see them at this website:

Thanks for getting me interested in working on them again.
