Knit doilies

This one is named Gladys from book "Old World Treasures" by Gloria Penning. Pattern by Lillie Meitler

Ella from "Danish Lace Treasure"
Shasta Daisy from "Fresh Knit Doilies"
Adonienieroschen from OLT in pink Lacey Lamb by Jade Sapphire laceweight, (comparable to size 30 crochet cotton I think). Its 26 inches round and weighs like under an ounce, very light as a feather. This yarn is a dream. I never used it before and will use it from now on for my top quality doilies.
Currently on the needles Kruzelblut and Velma. Velma in minty green crochet cotton size 10and other one in white crochet cotton size 10


This is what I have been working on the last few months. Lace has always been a passion but in doily form its even nicer. I have some new books that have awesome vintage patterns from European knitters, some are Lillie Meitler and some Neibling, some unknown. They are so lovely. Right now I am working onthe Kreuzlblute that is attributed to Neibling.




I have decided to make the Harmony cardigan by Kim Hargreaves. Its a lovely lacey pattern and will be nice for warm or cool weather. Not a winter item, an in-between. It is only one of the 21 awesome patterns in the Nectar book. Will be the first thing I have knit for myself to keep.
Here is a pic of what it looks like.
