Doily a Day # 3


What was I thinking when I called this project "Doily a Day"?
Seriously! I can't possibly make one doily everyday, but hey, I guess I can come somewhat close to it...
The title kind of motivates me to think about crocheting/looking for doily patterns everyday anyway, which is pretty good.

Anyway, here is my #3 doily. (:
It has to be my favourite so far! Took me 2 days just to finish it. And one whole day to look for pattern that satisfies me.
I mainly browsed through Pinterest (totally addicted to it!) and pinned some on this board of mine, Crochet Doily Pattern.
Why I love it: This is probably my first doily that actually comes close to those vintage doilies. I mainly don't have patient for those big delicate doily (yet), but this one was perfect size for me! (:
I had a bit of trouble navigating British crochet terms, but it was all worth it! (:

Just sidetracking here a little bit; guess what I've got in my mail today?! 
Pretty, colourful briolettes! I can't wait to make some lovely jewellery with them.
Oh the possibilities....
That's all from me for today. Till next time ~ (:

Doily a Day # 2


Hello there! (:
I had a great start to my week. Especially cos I received this sweet letter from my fiancé today.
I love snail mails! (Thanks, Mitch)
I hope you're having a good day too. (:


Anyway...here are more photos of the doily.



Why I love it: I love that beautiful flower in the centre and love how I could just not do the rest of the rounds and use it as an appliqué on handmade cards, etc. The chart pattern is great too (It's hand-drawn, can you believe it?!).

I hope the photos are alright. I had to take them at night since I had school till pretty late.
Hate taking photos at night! Such a pain...

I think it would probably need blocking or starching if I want to use it as a coaster, but I probably gonna hoard it along with my other doilies for now. So, this is good enough. (:
Hope you like it!

See ya tomorrow. (:

Doily a Day # 1

Hello! (:
This is my first day of "Doily a Day" series.
What I'm gonna do is, I'm going to make one doily everyday and share it with you here.
I'm making them all in white, just so I can join them into something bigger. Not really sure what yet.
I think it is more fun not to have an end product in mind and just have fun making pretty doilies.

Here is today's one.




And the pattern is from Toma Creations. You can find the written pattern here.


I did change the last round thou. Instead of doing slip stitch for the last round, I did single crochet, 2 chains, single crochet in the next stitch and repeated around it.

Hope you like it. (: See you tomorrow.
