My first ever doily!
1:57 PM Edit This 1 Comment »
Here is my first ever doily! It with worsted weight yarn, so its pretty huge and chunky so far, but I have zero money to buy the right kind of yarn. Its about 5 inches so far, and i'm on round 5. Only 20 more to go! I'll find a place for it in my dorm room next semester. Wish me luck! Click here for the pattern. Enjoy!
Update: about the 7th row it starts curling and wont lay flat. Any tips to keep this from happening? Or do I just need to buy the right kind of yarn?? All advice is welcome! Just leave it in the comments.

I recently started crocheting doilies and other thread projects. The first couple of doily attempts were looking wonky, misshapen, and curly. I ended up abandoning them halfway through.... But it turns out that its normal for doilies to do that, which is why you have to block them when you finish. I handwash them gently, then lay them out and basically pin them down so that they are slightly stretched into a nice looking shape. Then I use an iron set to steam (and usually some starch) to press the doily so it will hold its shape. It makes all the difference in the world. :)
