I finally finished this doily. The pattern is wonderful...but think next time I will use solid thread. Seems a little "busy"

[Cordelia]

Mary that is gorgeous....I dont think it looks busy at all. It looks like it is shimmering! Wonderful job!:clap :clap

[swapnae]

Love it Mary! if you had done it in blue variegated then it would look like the rippling water in a pond/lake! It sure doesn't look busy!! Where did you find the pattern!! You have done a great job!

You did a Wonderful job on that doily. :yay :cheer :yay It is Beautiful as it is. :D
Though I agree with you if I were to do it again I would do it in a solid. Might do two colors. I wish we could get thread like the Rainbow boucle yarn, That fades out slowly and back just as slowly. That would be awesome. :D

[sissymamma]

I :heart your doily! I know what you mean about variegated thread sometimes looking too busy, but I think your doily looks great & not busy at all! Great work! :tup

[yarnjunkie]

Were you trying to hypnotize us all? :spin That's what it kinda reminds me of. I absolutely love your doily!! Like someone said before, I usually prefer solid color doilies, but something about this one I really like! Great job!! :yay

I have to agree with everyone else who said it doesn't look too busy. I think that it looks perfect, very pretty =)

I thank all of you for your positive comments. The doily is large, a little larger than the original, because I used a larger hook. About 22 inches I think...can't measure it...I sent it as a piece for a winner takes all contest.
For those wanting the pattern, I will send you the link, from a Russian site as soon as I get home. I am at a family reunion is Texas, and all my goodies are on my computer at home.
Thank you again...you guys are just too nice for words!

[vernzap]

Amazing! You did a wonderful job on it, and I love the thread you chose. It doesn't look too busy. It looks lovely.

[mimi_mia]

Mary, it looks great, if you do make it in a solid color it will look completely different. You did a great job on it :manyheart love it :yay
