Gift Doily

[faithpa76]

Baaaaah humbug! I am very frustrated - - it's too big, I'm not sure I'm doing the picots correctly, and the middle is all messy. :eek I just couldn't seem to get my stitches even this time for some reason. I've improved a bit since the first one but I guess I'm too much of a perfectionist because I'm just not happy with it!! I guess I should be happy that my connecting stitches don't show, that's something ...

:dance I think you are doing great. You should have seen some of my first attempts. :heehee Luckily you are all spared that. It just takes practice to get the nice even stitches you want. :tup

[mimi_mia]

Your doily looks perfect, :hook I don't see anything wrong with it at all, you should be proud of it, I would be :D

[Linda]

Faith...it's lovely! Don't be soooooo hard on yourself!!

[RachelG]

Now just what is wrong with that? :think It looks great to me! :rose

[ellebee]

Looks great in the pic!! But I know what you mean - a doily I attempted looked uneven to me (due to my uneven crocheting :P ). I need more practice using thread - yarn hides more - lol! :D

[xantha]

It looks good! you might be able to block some of the stitch wonkiness out of it, too, you know.

And your picots look fine! :)

[CorinneM]

Very nicely done.
Doilies just take pratice, pratice, pratice, to get the stiches to look all the same....Dont be so hard on your self. I have to hold my thread different than yarn, :hookwrapped around my pinky finger to keep it tight and it helps keep the stiches looking the same and tight.
You took the time to make a hand made gift and it is beautiful!!!!:manyheart

[AshEgypt]

I think it looks amazing! :cheer

I think it's beautiful! I don't notice anything wrong with it. I hate picots so much. I always do the ch3, then sc in the top of the last stitch...I just can't do picots right and have been known to skip them all together!!!

[buggaboosmommy]

I think it turned out awesome! :eek I love it!

Looks great to me with and without my glasses:hug

[vhanna26]

Picots are not my favorite either, but they really complete the doily. Mine never look right to me either, but I think it's because I'm too close. Things look much better when blocked.

BTW, your doily looks great!

[deneen]

Oh Faith, it's gorgeous! Stop being so hard on yourself!

[Julie]

Faith it's beautiful! I don't see a thing wrong with it to complain about, you did a beautiful job! :clap

[diamond]

WOW! If you aren't happy with that one, I can't wait to see one you are happy with!!!! It's gorgeous. I know this lady who loves diamonds in South Florida who would LOVE that if you happen to plan on throwing it away that is. :devil

[Brie]
