Happy New Crochet Doilies Year!

Happy New Year to everyone! I've been way behind on showing you all my stuff I've been making. I don't know why I can't just blog every day or so like everyone else does, but....I'm here now! :)

 So here is what I've been doing lately. Doilies, and more doilies! Totally addicted to them:) I actually prefer thread to yarn now! Haha! After 10 or so years of yarny crochet, I just started doing thread work in September. It was hard getting used to the tiny needles and too small thread, but I've gotten over that now! I started with size 5 thread, and now use 10. Have some 20 to try but don't think I'd go smaller than that. I like my Susan Bates hooks in sizes 1.75 and the 1.50 best.

 This pattern above and below is from a Crochet World magazine. Prefect pattern!

 These are just a few, I have plenty more! Blogger won't let me load alot at once:) If you follow me on Instagram you might have already seen them....or will soon!

My First Thread Doily

I attempted my very first doily with thread. I could never work with thread before, or a hook that small, but...it wasn't that bad! I used a 2.75mm hook and Bernat size 5 thread. The pattern was messed up though, errors! The last two rows just did not make sense so I had to wing it. Came out ok. You can see in the one photo the  doily picture. I printed that free pattern online. Now I need to find some more!
