The Doily

Just a quick post to show how the doily is working up. I’m loving this pattern out of the “First Book of Modern

Lace Knitting” by Marianne Kinzel. It just keeps branching out to more leaves and more leaves. I have 20 rows to go but it has knitted up so quickly. Can't believe it's actually pulled me away from my sleeve but I was always a sucker for a pretty doily. Got about 8 more rows done on the sleeve so I only have 3 more pattern repeats to go! (That sounds better than 48 rounds!!)

In case you're interested, I'm knitting the doily with DMC Baroque crochet cotton which I love and have used extensively.
