A young woman I have known since she was born was married in April in beautiful New Zealand. On Friday her parents held an open house for her and her new husband. I figured that weight would be at a premium as they returned to New Zealand, so I made the young couple a net doily.
Double Star is about 14" in diameter.
I still needed to make three more gifts this week. So I decided to make some 3" doilies. Yes, I can count. I made 4 doilies. I wanted to give those three people the opportunity to choose. Besides, I may keep one for myself.

Somehow a 3" doily did not seem like enough, so I decided to place each doily in a coaster.
I really like the way they turned out.
Beautiful, practical, and definitely unique.
For the first time in a long time, I found myself netting with thread instead of yarn. It felt different, but I enjoyed working with size 20 crochet thread and size 70 tatting thread.
The gifts really look unique...I am glad you share it.
ReplyDeleteThat's one thing I like about making net gifts. They are uniquely made for that person. No one else will have exactly the same gift and no one will receive duplicates.
