Here is a doily I finished the other day and I loved the name of it and decided to post it on the 1st of Jan. as a tribute.

I found the pattern here January Thaw (http://www.denisecrochets.com/janthaw.html) if anyone wants to try it. Very simple and very elegant, I think.

Thanks everyone!:bow I really love:heart this design, too. The color is awesome (it looks a little washed out in the photo, if you can imagine).

I used a size 3 cotton from J&P Coats "Royale" in Teal. I had plenty of thread left to do an additional doily that was about an inch smaller... So, Lillian, I would think that the 70 yards required in size 10 would be plenty.

Also, in size 10 you'll get a 7 inch doily while in a size 3 you'll get an 11 inch doily.

Go for it Julie! :spina I want to see yours next....

Thats a lovely doily Dawn! I had it saved but just printed it off to make it as a part of the Gift along . I decided that I would give a Jan doily with the Jan sachet:) I should finish it tonight.

I think I'll do this one (and something else) for my step-D who has a birthday at the end of this month. :)) She loved the snowflakes and said she throws tea parties for the ladies from her church all the time. What's a tea party without a few doilies?

Thank you, all:bow I appreciate it. I don't do doilies very often because they get tedious, but I always am glad in the end because they are also very satisfying.

:hi Julie: YOU'RE :welcome and I love they way yours turned out, too. Great Blue!! :w-flake

This is so pretty. I've yet to try thread crochet, but this is motivating.
