Rose with leaf doily

I liked this pattern very much and it was long time pending to start. Now i decided to start this one and just completed. Used Aunt Lydia's Size 10 thread..... I think leaves should have been little more stiff.... Just clicked this photo in my iPhone... will soon post a good one....

Simple pineapple

After moving to Bangalore I was very busy in getting settled and taking Treatment for my Hand. After the treatment I was better and completed my son's name doily.

I wanted to do many more thread works but I was not able to get Aunt Lydia's size 10 thread. Did some search on it and found that aunt Lydia's thread is not supplied in India. Only size 20 and size 40 threads are available in India.

There are few sites where we can order Aunt Lydia thread online, but shipping is very costly.

I wanted to first try the Anchor size 20 thread and started with this simple pineapple doily. I started this on 11th Apr. I completed all the rounds expect the last one on same day. I got busy with my son for couple of days and couldn't take this doily and complete it. At last completed in on 14th Apr........ Tamil New Year....

Size was not a big issue for me, but the thread was little rougher than Aunt Lydia's thread. So here is what I completed..

My son's name doily

I started to design myself the name doily for my son. I came out with 5 designs and decided to go with this one. 

I started this when my son was 8 months and wanted to complete it for his 1st birthday. My right hand got hurt and I was not able to crochet for a while and also I was moving from US to Bangalore so there was a big pause for a while.  I just completed. I enjoyed making this filet crochet.

Materials:
Aunt Lydia's classic crochet thread  Size 10 color white
Susan bates size 7 needle
 

This is yet to be framed!!!!!

Victorian Flowers

Vintage Rose

Vintage Rose doily. This was a free pattern available online.

Peacock Filet

This is my best filet crochet that I loved most. I purchased this pattern from http://www.hassdesign.com

Flower Doily

 I made this doily during my South Dakota trip for 3 days. I like making the flowers since it has many petals and this was so different from what I has done before. I was really able to finish it by the time reached home from South Dakota.
