I love the wintery snowflake look to this doily.

Scallops

by Claudette Sguazzini

Decorative Crochet magazine, pp. 29-31

July 1997 - Number 58

I didn't know this doily was the same

designer as the Good Manners doily

until I was writing out the details for

this post.  I crack myself up!

I do seem to gravitate toward

the designs of particular creators.

As my husband would say,

"You like what you like."

I did have a little trouble
getting the scallops to
lay flat.  But that may be
due to using different sizes
of thread and hook than
called for in the pattern.

Good Manners

Decorative Crochet magazine, pg. 43

July 1997 - Number 58

I used a size 7 hook and size 10 thread.

When I have time to experiment,
I think it would look good with some
color to highlight the center flower.

Scrolls and Flowers

At my sweet husband's request,

I made this doily to lay across

his antique filing cabinet.

He thought it need something...

so we perused through my Decorative Crochet
magazine collection and he chose
the Autumn Moon pattern from
the March 1997 edition.

See how nicely it complements?

He likes it!!!

  And that's what matters.



Aunt Lydia's size 20-white.
Size 12 (.75mm) hook.
