I started knitting a doily last week. The pattern is in an old Mon Tricot magazine (July, 1970). The finished doily will be a large oblong. Shortly after I started this doily, I found the doily in the upper picture at one of the crafter stores here. Knitting a doily is much harder and much easier than I thought it would be. The hard part is starting it. I used a crochet cotton thread that was way too small and had a terrible time with the center. This doily is worked in Knit-Cro-Sheen so is much easier to knit. At this time, there are five size one double-pointed needles, eventually I will either have to buy a circular 16" size one needle or go to several more double-pointed needles.
I have knit doilies before, the first when I was still a teenager. I made three, one for my grandmother, one for my mother and one for me. I will put a picture of the finished doily on next time if I can photograph the picture in the magazine.
