Vintage Knitting - update
 |
| Vintage Doily size 1 needles - #20 cotton thread 11.5 inches in diameter |
I used this pattern and was pleased with the how it turned out. My edging is not as distinct as the one online, but that may be the way that I blocked it.
This doily will be in the Fremont County Fiber Guild display at the fair. Details can be found on this earlier post.
Want to try a knit doily? I recommend this pattern - easy to follow and fun to knit. Intimidated by thin thread and tiny needles? Knit the pattern with cotton for a round dishcloth.
That's very pretty! I have never tried knitting doilies although I do enjoy crocheting them. Some day I will give it a try. I hope you win!
ReplyDeleteYou can proudly enter this project in the county fair. Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty doily! Good luck at the fair!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a winner to me...Great job!
ReplyDeleteYou know, I might have to try out this pattern, since you said it was easy to follow and a quick knit...as I have some linen yarn left over from other projects. This might be a way to use it up.
ReplyDeleteYour doily is really beautiful. I'm looking forward to seeing it at the FAIR.
It is very pretty!!
ReplyDeleteKNIT!! At first I thought the doily was crocheted and finally I got it! I would knit a doily/dish cloth! I don't crochet because it hurts my hands but I am not put off by knitting with tiny thread and tiny needles. Great idea for a unique knit Nancy!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful!!! So impressed!! Can't wait to see how you do at the fair!!
ReplyDeleteBlessings
It is beautiful. Just wonderful. So beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI want you to win a big blue ribbon
Amazing! That one looks like a sure thing for a blue ribbon to me. I just read that antimacassars (doilies) were used to prevent soiling of furniture from oily hair at a time when men used Macassar hair oil....had always wondered about that!
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous! Doily knitting is on my "to do" list------but then again, so are a lot of other things (like getting busy on the online tatting class I bought around the first of the year)---how did it get to be July already?
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed!! I have too many doilies from my grandmothers, but it does look like a challenging knit...
