Finished Object Friday

Yeah, it's Friday.  I'm very excited to share my white lace.  In general I am very happy with it.  It is 30 inches in diameter to give you a sense on size and was made in DMC opera 20 cotton on size two needles. The only thing I need to fix is blocking.  The crochet edging is curling up.  I think ironing instead of just blocking.  And maybe starch - honestly I haven't used starch since the 80's, do they make it any more?  I'm giving away my age there.






So head on over to Tami's  FO Fridays! for all the other great finished objects.

Success with White Lace

My first lace doily from Sonja's book Knitted Lace - in White.  After the botched first attempt i am very happy with the second try.  I'm now tackling a bigger harder one - Hansigne.  Hopefully pictures not too much later.
