Hooray for FOs! Part 2

and nicely arranged (this time with an angel my daughter Elena gave me for X-mas)
the doily or should I say "coffee cloth" looks like this:

Always amazing, how blocking can change wet noodles into a beautiful piece of lace...
Hooray for Finished Objects!!

Psssst.....
I would like to knit the Lyra by Herbert Niebling as next project,
but I have to whip up some socks for my Dad's birthday first (poor old me!)
Thank goodness I have knitted the Birthday-socks for Donna already
....just can't knit socks right now....
...don't know why...

Hooray for FOs!

After blocking the wheat-doily looked like this:

a detailphoto:



it took me 45 minutes to block this sucker thing and 192 pins (!!!) to get it pinned out.
It's 72, 5 cm (25 inches) in diameter.
My back and my knees hurt now, I just feel like an old rag lady.
But it is worth the work and the pain, can't wait to unpin it in the morning.

Undressed....

Another doily just jumped off my needles. I am ever so happy!!!

As it's just called "white doily", i will give it this name:

"End of summer doily" (or "wheatdoily" or such)

The pattern is from the Mag 'Diana Special-Strickdeckchen D 449' from 1998

I really had to show a lot of patience knitting the last 30 rows (i had between 700 and 900 stitches on my needles, which felt like "bloody" 3000 stitches), but then I just told myself: "Go on! Go for it! One row down, another 30 (29, 28 etc.) rows to go!" and at last I made it.........WOOOHOOOO!
It's still undressed, so it's far away from being a beauty, but:

Now I am going to wash, starch and block it out....this is going to be "fun" *yuk*
wish me luck :-))

Entspannt und ...

... dekorativ in Szene gesetzt sieht das Egeblad-Deckchen gleich doppelt so gut aus.

Den Fisch hat meine Große in der 4.Klasse gemacht, gefällt mir ausnehmend gut dieses Esemble.
Ich mach mir wohl noch ein Egeblad in Knallrot.
Hoffe, es gefällt Euch auch!

Egeblad

Started on Friday and finished and blocked today:

The Egeblad Doily

On the pictures it's still wet, that is why you can see the weaved in yarn shining through :-(
