The twin sisters together !! :)

Finally, I made this Starburst doily which was supposed to give company to my PK doily I posted about here in April 2013. I started this doily long ago but completed few days back . So , after a long time,  the twin sisters make an appearance together. Its funny that this doily took almost 9 months after I made the first one.......lol :)

 It measures 24 inches across and is crocheted with size 10 thread and 1.75mm hook . It is a free pattern available here

I gave this rocking horse gift to Raj on one of the Valentine's day which he kept in his office earlier. The girl is me and the guy is Raj . Isn't that a cute one? :)



I have kept both the doilies on a pair of round corner tables standing dovetailed in a cozy corner of my bedroom ;) They are constructed in that way ......he......he :)

Don't worry, the photos are not from my bedroom corner. I don't want to show the mess of electric wires and cobwebs in the corner and after cleaning these tables for pictures, my energy levels were down to do any corner cleaning :)

Interestingly, I have become a little crochet conscious and lost my confidence in hooking something new and challenging because my hand got so much used to a small needle and cross stitching . To do the icebreaking, I am doing all sorts of boring work like weaving-in and blocking etc . But that in a way helped me complete my crochet WIPs :)

Does my doily remind you about the springtime ? :)

Have a nice day !
Preeti :)
