Waves, Shells and Peacocks
Every so often I decide to knit a doily with variegated thread, an idea that sends some people into spasm. I think that a good result is entirely likely if you match the thread and pattern properly. This one is Waves and Shells from Gloria Penning's "Knitted Heirloom Lace II." It's also design 5, Peacock, in Christine Duchrow's Leaflet 62.

Sue,
This one and the sunshine one are beautiful! How is retirement going?

I really like your combination of thread and pattern here - they seem to be meant for each other.
Love it! Who said not to knit with pretty colors?!
Oooooo! Pretty! I like white doilies, but there's nothing wrong with variegated. I've got a bunch made by my grandmother, and have made one or two myself. Love yours!
very nice thank you
