Snowflake Doily
This doily is for one of my Great Aunts. It was featured in Handy Hands, Winter 2012 news letter. This issue of the news letter was from: "Tatting" by Penelope, Bk 4.
The thread is Anchor's size 10 metallic crochet thread, in white with a gold filament (the gold didn't show up in the picture). The doily is 15" across. This will make a lovely Easter gift for my great aunt.
Oh, my GOSH - that's my only ever doily that I used to love making back in my teens!!! YIKES - that's a long time ago. It was published in Penelope Book 4 here in the UK. I worked it several times and once in a silk sewing thread - purely to get colour into my work. Thanks for the memories.
