Recently I’ve seen many round lacy tablecloths, which look very beautiful for a little tea table, so I really wanted one too. I got this project in mind to crochet one. I found several interesting patterns. Then I thought it could be a good idea to start with something smaller. Making a tablecloth is a lot of work, and I was afraid I might get bored with it. So I decided to make a doily first.
It only took me three days to crochet it, and I just loved the process. Now I know for sure I won’t get bored making the tablecloth of my dreams. I still need to shop for threads though.
I present for your judgment my cream-colored round doily.
I’m joining Cindy at
My Romantic Home for Show and Tell Friday.

I love, love to crochet!! And your doily turned out beautifully. I used the pineapple stitch in a "Victorian" afghan for my master bedroom. Love the stitch.

Wow, Olga, I'm thoroughly impressed. That is some very beautiful and intricate work. You have very deft fingers in order to be able to do that. Honestly, I am totally impressed.
Can't wait to see your table cloth!

Amazing and intricate work! I have several like this given to me by my husband's grandmother and they leave me in awe each time I think about how difficult they must be to make!
What a beautiful piece!! Hats off to you for being able to do such fine and intricate work!! I would lose my eyesight!!

Happy Friday! I am stopping by via the linky party.
Your doily looks utterly charming!
Hi Olga, pleased to meet you.
My mother loved a similar pattern she called 'pineapple'. You may even see part of one if you visit my show n tell #53 at Cindy's My Romantic Home.
One row at a time and I need to get back to work on a certain baby afghan. Time is moving on.
Your doily is beautiful. I never could crochet, but sure appreciate the hard work others do!
Thank you so much for sharing. I crochet daily, learned as a child and have rarely put my hook down. I too and working on a table cloth (been working on it for 3+ yrs.) and have many other projects as well. I finish most it just takes me awhile sometimes.
my computer is now working and saw this post. i can't believe that what you made is exactly like one of the patterns that my mother made when she was alive. it gave me tears. great job, continue to do more. have a good sunday.
I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT YOU MADE THAT!
It is an amazing peice and you are sooooo talented. I also can't believe it only took 3 days. Just amazing.
I have some very special peices that were my gandmother's but nothing comes close to your doily. I can't wait to see the tablecloth!
I host a weekly meme called "Summer Sundays". It's about what summer means to YOU. I'd love to have you come and join us.
