This was surely the biggest crochet project I have endeavoured so far. The beginning was exciting but I must say I got a bit bored with it in time. Anyhow, I have finally started the last row so ...

This doily took longer to block because os the many points but it isa joy to look at. I found the children's playmat squares very good to use. One can join as many squares according to the size o...

This doily was supposed to be worked while I was in hospital but never got started because I was not in the mood or in too much pain. When I was home I started it but it got put away on and off f...
