Hot off the hook,

unblocked, 9 inches in diameter  ... Around A Square Doily ... at least that's what I am calling this doily right now.  Haven't a clue as to how this design came about, just started and this is what I finished with.  I find it interesting to see how these turn out when the hook takes over.

 I love the bold color of Goldenrod ... make me think of Sunflowers and Sunshine, so perfect for the warm summer months.

Off to now decipher my scribbles and test the pattern.  This one will be done in white and in size 20 thread.  Usually my choice of thread is size 10, looking forward to seeing how the 20 works up.

Hoping to have a new doily pattern for you sometime this week.  Deciding whether I will press or starch the Goldenrod doily.  Starching and pinning should make it larger and less dense looking.  Decisions, decisions ... 

Sunshine and flowers ...
a good start to the week!

    I like it, it's different. Can't wait for the pattern. :o)

    I started one yesterday in blue, white and red. I have two more rounds in the red to go. I wanted to have it done to take a pic of it today and post it but didn't have enough time. Hope you had a wonderful mom's day!
