Sweet Sixteen: My newest design,

[Katchkan]

Well so far working isn't keeping me from doing what I love. Which as you all know is designing Doilies. I just finished my newest design which I am calling Sweet Sixteen as it has 16 points and I think it is Sweet design. I did this one in size 10 thread using a 7/1.65 hook. It measures 19.5 inches across. I really enjoyed doing this one.

I do so look forward to hearing if you like this one or not.

[Tampa Doll]

Wow that is so beautiful. I love the spike design (hope that is right). It seems to add to the original round doily.

Great work as always Kathy.:hook

Wonderful design....it says to me definitely sweet sixteen but it also gives me a sense of royalty...the outer portions remind me of a delicate crown that you would see on a princess......lovely

Absolutely BREATHTAKING!!!!...I admire your work...Thank You for sharing..Your sooooo TALENTED!!!!

[Katchkan]

Thank you everyone, :hug I know I am repeating myself when I say how much your kind remarks mean to me. I really don't have words to truly express it.

It is reassuring to me that working isn't going to stop me, Maybe slow me down a bit. But the ideas are still there.

[Priszm]

It reminds me of a snowflake! So pretty!

[julie5813]

I like how the outer lacy rounds offset the more solid inner rounds. You've made another beautiful creation :)

[vonnie]

WOW. what more can I say!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This one is gorgous!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Krystal16]

Stunningly elegant - it is just beyond words. I mean it, too - I am so surprised you aren't one of the richest ladies with all these beautiful designs you create!

That's very pretty, Kathy--I like it a lot. It looks like the kind of pattern I would choose to make, although if the 16 points have to be worked off individually....:eek I did a pattern like that not long ago (doesn't look at all like yours, but had 16 individual points) and it took a long time to finish because of that.

Of course, the finished results are worth it (in both cases) and your design is lovely--19 inches is a good size, too!

[Krakovianka]

Oops--forgot to add...I think it looks like a sunburst!

[anthrilliel]

Wow and OMG I want I want I want I love this one Kathy :manyheart It is just so beautiful and dainty and princessy and wow (what a rich vocabulary I have :lol ) I am so frustrated that I have exams and a paper to write grrrrrrrrrrr

Unfortuanately that isn't the case. That's why I went back to work.

[TheLadyWind]

lol Kathy! just let us know where we can purchase the patterns for all your wonderful creations. I have been haunting your etsy and website waiting for you to post that your recent works of art are available for purchase.

[darski]

Kathy you simply have to stop doing this!

Every time I see your 'newest' design I think "Well she has made the perfect doily. can't get any better than this!" and then you immediately go and top yourself all over again.

I literally caught my breath when I saw this design. :faint

:nworthy:nworthy:nworthy

Just incredible and so wonderful. I am grateful that I even get to share bandwidth with a talent as great as yours.

[carovan]

[Momcrochets]

lovely, as always! keep it up, Kathy...I love seeing your designs. You have such a gift!

[chessie]

Very nice,I really like the design

[coolhockeymom]

those are amazing I wish I could make things like that let alone beable to design something I comend you

[Katy]

My first impression was Snowflake! Maybe because of the crisp points, and that the symmetry is so lovely. It is beautiful. Any word on publishing a new book? I am still waiting for the shawl with the ruffles. And you must have 15 doilies by now unpublished that I want to make...... It must be really fun being able to see these designs in your head and producing them.

[MyGirlFriday]

This is fantastic as well!
You must crochet in your sleep~:crocheting
