I just finished the centre round a little while ago. The doily measures about 3 1/2 inches in diameter. All the ends you see in the upper left side are all hidden. I prefer to cut them short but not completely until I am done. You may notice that there are four ends that I had to hide. Well, after I had finished the round and had joined to the beginning, a thread broke. Yup, and it broke close to the join so there was no way to salvage it. I had to undo the final chain, add a two new threads (continuously so I didn't have two more ends to hide), and remake the chain, hiding the two ends from the broken chain. I can now continue on with round two, while I watch an episode of Star Trek: Voyager I previously recorded.

Quick Doily Update
I have finished the centre of the doily I have been working on. Here is a progress pic:

very nice
ReplyDeleteI have the pattern for this doily and this is going to be nice when you are finished. To bad about the thread breaking, that kind of thing drives me crazy.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I hate when the thread breaks or when I find a manufacturer's knot, but I am learning how to hide my thread ends! I'm looking forward to the next round of this doily!
ReplyDeleteROFLOL! I never realized we had a Bonnie & Clyde of tatters until I saw Clyde's comment right after Bonnie's. Cute how that worked out. You're doily's starting successfully! I look forward to the finished piece.
ReplyDeleteHa! I never noticed that either till now. That is kinda funny how it worked out. Thanks for the nice comments everyone. I think it will look nice once finished as well.
ReplyDeleteThe doily looks very good so far.
ReplyDeleteLOL to that Bonnie and Clyde thing - do we now have to watch over our threads and shuttles, ;-D, roflol
I don't know Dantatter. We might have to, especially if it is HDT!
ReplyDeleteIt is going to be a lovely doily! It is my favourite pattern (have made several of it), and the blue colour is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you Anne for your kind comments. It is a nice doily, isn't it? I may have to make it again.
