Finally, A New Doily

I have not knit any doilies for a while, so it was time to knit one that I have been thinking about for some time.

The details:

• Pattern: Adonienieroschen (I have no idea what this means) from Old World Treasures by Gloria Penning. Perhaps this is a Herbert Niebling design? The ribbing in the center flower gives this doily a lot of great texture.
• Thread: Cebelia size 30
• Needles: 2mm (US0)
• Finished size: approximately 16 inches diameter

This Made Me Laugh

Knitted bacteria!

Fair Time!

One of the pleasures of the Western Washington Fair in Puyallup, Washington, is seeing the beautiful needlework. And taking home a few ribbons. I had a good year.

First place and Best in Category in the Lace section for my spiral doily.

First place for another doily, also in the Lace category.

In the Knitting category, I have second place for a scarf.

Third place for a shawl.

And honorable mention for a hat.
