wonderment
Like I said folks, I want to make hand crocheted doilies, but don't really know how to. So I took a guess, and tried anyway. {you know me...}
I have posted in the etsy store this, my very first try at a hand crocheted doily.  Please let me know what you think. Is this acceptable? Does it pass for a doily? Or does it just look like a mess?

I took J to his bank, he took me out to breakfast. Nice. I had french toast. Yum!

It's shaping up to be a nice day out there. I need to get out there and spend some quality time with Biscuit! ;)

I think you did a great job for your first doily.
There are tons of free doily patterns online.

My sister used to make these. You might want a smaller hook.

Thank you
Yes, J's mother said to try a smaller hook. The one I used was the smallest one I have. I might get a smaller one this weekend when I trek to the craft store.

I am always in awe of people who tackle doilies and laces! This one is awesome, and I agree that a smaller hook will give you even finer results in the future. Wow!!!
