January Thaw Doily

[DawnsRays]

Here is a doily I finished the other day and I loved the name of it and decided to post it on the 1st of Jan. as a tribute.

 

 

I found the pattern here January Thaw if anyone wants to try it. Very simple and very elegant, I think.

I don't know who you're talking about!! I've looked at that pattern a few times before but now that I see it "in person" I have to have it. You did a beautiful job Dawn! (I was just at your blog drooling there, too!)

That looks really nice you done great work:wow

[MommaChelle]

Beautiful!!

[Guest lillian1969]

I am thinking about making one for myself.Is the amout of thread stated in the pattern pretty accurate?

[mc_crochets]

that is very beautiful!! I love the color too!!

[Julie]

I keep coming back to look at it Dawn, because I'm trying hard to remember why I haven't done it yet. It's so beautiful! !

[Deb]

Very nice. :cheer2 You did a GREAT job!!!

[DawnsRays]

Thanks everyone! I really love:heart this design, too. The color is awesome (it looks a little washed out in the photo, if you can imagine).

 

I used a size 3 cotton from J&P Coats "Royale" in Teal. I had plenty of thread left to do an additional doily that was about an inch smaller... So, Lillian, I would think that the 70 yards required in size 10 would be plenty.

 

Also, in size 10 you'll get a 7 inch doily while in a size 3 you'll get an 11 inch doily.

 

Go for it Julie! :spina I want to see yours next....

Thats a lovely doily Dawn! I had it saved but just printed it off to make it as a part of the Gift along . I decided that I would give a Jan doily with the Jan sachet:) I should finish it tonight.

I think I'll do this one (and something else) for my step-D who has a birthday at the end of this month. ) She loved the snowflakes and said she throws tea parties for the ladies from her church all the time. What's a tea party without a few doilies?

[jingles96]

[Julie]

[DawnsRays]

You go, Julie!!

Can't wait to see it.

[RebeccaVelasquez]

dawn - beautiful work!!

 

i don't know how you all have the patience for a doily

[DawnsRays]

Thank you, all:bow I appreciate it. I don't do doilies very often because they get tedious, but I always am glad in the end because they are also very satisfying.

 

Julie: YOU'RE and I love they way yours turned out, too. Great Blue!! :w-flake

This is so pretty. I've yet to try thread crochet, but this is motivating.
