This design went together totally different than the normal way I design. I started on the outside and worked my way into the center. I designed the motif to use in the begining Irish crochet class I intend to offer here on Crochetville later this year. Then I decided to see just what I could do with the motif so I started playing around. It definitely took a few different twists and turns as I progressed. But I am pleased with the results. I used three colors. Shell pink medium, Sage green, and White in size 10 thread. I used my 7/1.65mm hook. This was a great pack along project for me this summer. It measure 20 inches from point to point.
Here is the motif I started with.
5889
Here is the doily I came up with using this motif.
58905891
I have a bit more writing on the pattern. Though for the class I will do a much simpler project than the whole doily. I know I haven't been posting much here lately, been a crazy summer. Became a trainer at work and adjusting to the new responsibilities. Seems like my life is destined to teach.
I look forward to hearing what you think of my latest.

Like everything you have designed, it is utterly beautiful, especially so to my eyes, because I love Irish crochet. It is also very interesting to read how you came up with the design - a peek into a creative mind.

Kathy, I think you're amazing. :nworthy
Everytime you come up with a new doily, I think "that's the prettiest one yet!" :clap The truth is that they're all fantastic. I really like the motif this time. It's so delicate, and the beautiful flower is so well-framed. I'm continually amazed at your skill! Be sure to let us know if you publish this, OK? I don't think I have the patience for some of the larger ones you do, but I think I could do this motif and just be happy with one motif to lay on my dresser! :lol
Thank you! :manyheart

Your work is simply amazing. I'm tempted to give one of your patterns a try although I have never worked in thread.

Another gorgeous doily, and this created when your brain was already overtaxed with training duties.

Thank you everyone for you lovely remarks. It is always such a joy sharing with all of you.
I definitely practiced my frogging skills on this design. I finally quit weaving in ends until it was all done. Seems like I was constantly redoing something.

Beautiful! I just found this section of the Ville and will be coming here more often. I haven't been able to write down my creative deisgns into a pattern yet, but I think this will truly help me!
