Another one of Patricia Kristoffersen's doilies with a twist completed! This one was done in lavender. I am still not certain how to get my spirals to be tighter as when I block it they get stretched. Someone suggested using a stiffener to keep them bunched, but I am just happy to have them uniform.

I've started on my third one from the pattern book. I found this wonderful thread made by Steinbach Wolle (http://www.yarndex.com/yarn.cfm?yarn_id=461) that is heavenly soft for crochet thread! It's a burgundy variegated color and it is turning out to look stunning as well as feel divine.

This doily has been RAOK'ed.
