WIOSNA 2015 Doily-Round 5

Easy, I thought.  Quicker, I thought.  Ha!  Silly me.


This round of little flowers was easy (see the pattern here), but it still took me a total of 4 hours and 10 minutes.  All those ends to weave in!  It sure adds a sweet touch to the overall look, but it's a pain to get rid of all those threads.  I'm pretty sure it took me as long to weave in the ends as it did to tat the flowers!  I hope they are consistent enough in size to add the next round easily.

In any case, it was a perfect place to add the pink.  I'm looking forward to getting on with the next round - it's just getting prettier and prettier!

  1. Agreed! Very pretty. Those flowers in pink really add a nice touch. Yes, weaving in ends takes forever! But can be well worth it. Looking forward to watching what comes next.

  3. I do love that touch of pink! I haven't calculated the hours, although the kids at school have been asking me. They've decided that so far my doily is worth $50. ;-) Gotta love kids!

    1. I probably shouldn't be calculating the hours, but now that I've started I can't stop. Those kids are great, though they don't pay much per hour, do they? :)

  4. I do so hate separate motifs, but it is a necessary evil and the pink is very nice touch looking good so far. :)

  5. I agree, thread ends are a nuisance. But the results are worth the sewing in, your doily is looking wonderful!
