Pinwheel Doily

[rshseaeagle]

Hello to all,

I made a really pretty vintage doily from the Purple Kitty website last week and my husband LOVED it. It has a pinwheel in the center. It is the 7318 doily. I would really like to make more with the pinwheel in them, they come out so pretty.

 

Do any of you have any favorites with the pinwheel, I have looked on Celts and CPC and found one or two but always know that the masses here are such a wealth of knowledge that you can guide me to some more!

 

TIA to all!

If you search on 'whirl' on CPC you will find some pretty ones (at Celt's site)

Granny Square,

Thank you so much. I never even noticed the search function on CPC . What a wonderful tool. I did find several doilies that I printed to make. Will post pictures when they are done.

 

Thanks again,

Katchkan also has a beautiful pinwheel doily available...it's called Whirlaway and if you go to her website it's in one of her doily booklets, "A Cavalcade of Doilies", I believe.

My favorite is the Praline Pinwheel from the Ultimate Doily Book.

 

The Rose Garland doily also has a pretty pinwheel in the center.

Mimi,

Thanks so much. I absolutely love the praline pinwheel. I immediately went to e-bay and bought a copy of the book for $3.00.

Everyone here is so wonderful and helpful. I can't wait to get the book. I have so many projects I want to get started now. There is just not enough time in the day to devote to crocheting.

Thanks again,

Toni

Rascals Mom,

Thanks so much. I should have known that Katchkan would have this. I haven't been to her etsy shop to look at her books because I knew that I would want every one she has! I finally broke down and looked and as I figured, I want them all. I can't afford it right now but definately bookmarked it for the future. I have so many projects I want to do, maybe Santa will bring me some of her books.

Thanks so much to everyone, I really appreciate all your help,

Toni

You wouldnt believe how many years I looked for that "rose garland". I have a ripped up doily that my mom made about 50 or more years ago and I wanted to find it so badly!

Now it seems it is everywhere I look.

 

Its so pretty

Mimi, how much thread did the roses take?

[MimiFL]

Gosh, that's a good question. I really have no idea... At a guess, I'd say no more than a ball? I don't think they use that much.
