Paramecium Floral Crochet ? It’s a weird name right?
Well, that’s what my daughter said when she saw the oval shaped doily that it looks like Paramecium belonging to unicellular ciliate protozoa group !!! :)
It took me back to my schooldays when we drew diagrams in Biology about Amoeba and Paramecium. Anyways, I added that name as well in the title.
This oval doily is made of Size 20 Anchor mercer crochet cotton and measures 12 inches wide and 19 inches long . I took the pattern from a crochet book ‘Old time crochet made easy’ by House of White Birches publication. It is not exactly an oval shape, the centre border bulges out on both sides. I have not streched it . Need to do some washing and blocking . Vikki has send me the instructions for the same.
WIP – iPad cover
My new project is a cover for my iPad . I am using Anchor knitting cotton for the first time . Hope it turns out well . No particular design, just a wavy chevron stitch.
The horse painting in the background was done by my daughter; it was a paint-by-number kit, but she did it very sincerely and patiently:)
Hope you liked my work!
And, I also hope this Paramecium post title does attract crocheters to my blog rather than scientists!!:)
Have a nice day!!

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful blog !
ReplyDeleteI like your your crochet.
Preeti I'm very attracted to the painting! Very neatly done! Kudos to your daughter!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely blog you have going here. I love your doilies but I seem to shy away from the very fine threads. I would really love to try making one of your beautiful doilies as they are so inspirational to me. I already have the thread and in a big variety of color too. I have no idea why I bought it because as I said before I tend to shy away from such delicate thread. You have certainly brought out the beauty in using this thread. Thank you for sharing your talent with me. Also your Daughter has done a wonderful job on her painting. I can see you have a very talented family in the wonderful world of Crochet...and Painting.

ReplyDeleteHi I really love the work you have done. I haven't crocheted in years I mean years! Instead I 've turned to quilting, but I must say you've giving me the bug. Looks like I'm heading to the sewing and craft room to dig out the old crocheting items. Thanks for sharing!
