Oval Doily, My Newest Design, not even named yet.

[Katchkan]

I was really in need of a break this week. So when I picked up my hook and started creating this doily I gave myself permission to not worry about writing a pattern for it. Don't worry I am going to remake it in size 20 thread and I will write it down when I do. I just have to wait for the light pink thread to get here. But it did feel good to just be crocheting and not worrying about writing for a change.
This one was an experiment in color for me. Wanted to see how well I could get it a fading look without resorting to the painted doily technique. There are four colors used on this one. cream, light pink, dusty rose and medium shell pink. I used size ten thread for this experiment as I had all the colors I wanted to try using available. Now I will make it in the size 20 thread for my own personal use. It measures 18.5 inches long by 12.5 inches wide. I used a size 7/1.65mm hook.

I love ovals too--I think your color experiments worked well, although I know it would be hard to find that many shades of most colors to do it in something other than pink. It's really beautiful.

My first thoughts were Victorian, old fashioned and Grandma's favorite!

just gorgeous, as usual!

[Granny Square]

That is lovely, I love the look of painted doilies but have never tried because I thought they'd be too 'fussy' to make. Great idea!

I second 'berries and cream'.

Thank you everyone once again. I am patiently waiting for my thread to get here so I can remake it and get the pattern written down. Hopefully by that time to right name will come to me. Thank you so much for all the suggestions.

[MimiFL]

Gorgeous. :c9

The stars make me think of starfish, and the off white makes me think of seashells... so you could call it 'starfish and seashells' :lol ... or just 'by the sea'
