[crochetfun]

Thank you so much, everyone:)

I got motivated to make a doily when I returned after a 4-day holiday to a freshly painted family room. (a surprise by my daughter, her boyfriend and my son)
The colour of the walls is pretty close to the colour of the doily. I had the thread sitting there, have been wanting to try crocheting pineapples for a while so... there is the result.
I am quite pleased with it, so the next one just might be a size 10. I must say the pattern was very good and clearly written. (and free:lol )

[RachelG]

Very nice!!!! I just made that doily too...I love it! (And although doilies are nice in white, they're nice to see in other colors.) :clap

Beautiful job!

[Janie]

Beautiful doily....Did you mention what size thread you did use? I'm curious cause it sure looks nice!

[yarncat]

Gorgeous doily!I use heavier thread for doilies,too.

[knotme]

That's your first doily? Really? I would have never guessed - it turned out perfect!:clap

[suttonjp]

What a great doily! I really like the color, too. I'm one of those "nuetral color doily makers," but I've been inspired to try a little color. I admired doilies for a long time and when I made my first one, I was addicted. Enjoy the addiction, and keep posting your finished projects.

[Kathleen]

Oooooo, so pretty, and my favorite color too!

[Etaria]

Thanks so much!
It was fun! (and may I add that I do not have another doily on display in my house)
I love the pineapple designs for some weird reason and there are quite a few lovely patterns on the web. I trust Priscilla's patterns hence the choice.

Having seen your work I can tell you could handle a lot more elaborate designs.:)

[megan]

That's such a nice doily! My sister just asked for one for Christmas, I'll have to bookmark that pattern!

[ItzKaren]

I love the color! When I first started making doilies I made this one. You did a great job!!


:clap

[Kimberly]

Great job on your doily! I have been trying to determine what to make for my grandmother for Christmas...A pineapple doily just might do the trick!

[crochetfun]

Thank you to each and every one of you who commented. All of you are so encouraging that I want to do more threadwork.:)

[mamaoso]

Great job. I might even try threadwork.:lol

[dogymom]

Thank you to each and every one of you who commented. All of you are so encouraging that I want to do more threadwork.:)

Well you inspired me to try my first doily! I did mine in yellow. Thanks for the inspiration!:hook

[truelove730]

I love it! Great job!

[crochetfun]

Thank you:) That made me smile (probably the first time today - I've had a bad migraine)

Are you going to post a picture?

Love your Yorkie! (I have one that looks like him/her?)

[crochetdiva]

So pretty, and I love the color!:clap

[dogymom]

Thank you:) That made me smile (probably the first time today - I've had a bad migraine)

Love your Yorkie! (I have one that looks like him/her?)

My little Yorkie is a boy, named Keegan. I'd love to see a pic of yours!

As for the doily, mine does not look as great as yours:blush. It's rather "off", I guess is the best way to describe it:think.

I'm sorry you've suffered today with a migraine. I get those myself, and it's no picnic!:hug Hope you feel better soon.

[Mel2nsluvsCrochet]

I do so love that pattern! I liked the way yours came out!:hook

[Julie]

Great job, very nice! :clap
