Christmas Bell Doily

Christmas Bell Doily

"I am in Kerala enjoying Christmas holidays. Kids are happy following Uncle Santa for the church carol. Visiting many houses on such days. Since schools are closed for Christmas holidays, most of the kids attend the Carol. My kids are celebrating Christmas in hometown for the first time.... They are familiar with the limited celebrations in Muscat. They are in heaven now.  Last day they came back home at 1 am in  the morning..." [Dec 23rd, 2012]

I found this post saved as Draft in my folder today. I was in Kerala during last Christmas season. Couldn't post that time.  This was my second doily for the last Christmas season. I found this particular pattern  at http://www.momsloveofcrochet.com/belldoily.html.  I have done this  with knitting thread and 2mm steel hook. To give a a festive mood,  used red and green colors.

Pinwheel Doily

          Nothing more creative happened this month. My mind is more into sewing. Successfully stitched one churidar set for me.  Needs more perfection for the sleeves it seems. Will be trying another set  soon. Before going on summer vacation in July-August, there is a long to-do list with me. Have to work hard to complete it before leaving. 

          I did one pinwheel doily last month. Did a pinwheel for the first time. Interesting pattern.. Like that swirl in the middle. Wish to do more swirls when I come back after the holidays...

Cutie Pie Doily

Here is my Cutie pie doilies in size 10 crochet thread. There is a long story behind these doilies. Few months ago, I did a cutie pie doily with this thread. Then tried to add few more rounds to it. Added 10 more rounds but it was not so satisfactory. I removed all of the extra rounds added. 

Another day, may little brats removed all rounds of the above said cutie pie and rolled the thread nicely into a ball and gave it to me. I gave up the plan of doing it again. Last week when the thread ball came  into my hands again, I decided to try the cutie pie doily.

Cutie Pie Doilies

After finishing the doily, I felt like it was small in size. It was because that I used 1.5mm hook instead of the 1.75mm hook and missed one round in between. I realized it after weaving the ends. So did one more with 1.75mm hook. Don't want to feel guilty again for a cutie pie...
