YAY !! Today I am going to share my biggest doily ever : ) It is a vintage pattern called ‘Between-meal-centerpiece ’ . Seasoned crocheters and doily lovers do know about this doily .
I have made it with Anchor knitting cotton and hook size 2 .75 mm . It measures 46 inches in diameter . It was difficult to block this big piece . My humble hubby tried to help me out but stretched the border picots wrongly so please ignore those dangling picots : )
I couldn’t resist taking many pictures ; in return , I will cut down on my words .
I can use my doily in various ways . Let’s see………...
Few close - ups .......................
The dining table we have is 7ft x 4 ft and this doily fits properly . But in new house we plan to buy a smaller table . I may then have to use the doily on sofa . Which way does it look good on sofa , center or one side ?
The pattern for this is free and available here . There are some corrections to it but I have not consolidated those properly to write here . If anyone wants to attempt it , let me know , I will share those corrections .
Hope you liked my work and these colors make you smile . Waiting eagerly to hear from you : )
Have a nice day !

On the bed
Few close - ups .......................
On the floor
Both are images on the floor with and without flash. I am not sure in which shot the colors are looking better.
On the dining table
My dining table is very old, so I have taken pictures on my daily printed tablecloth.
Image taken against sunlight...........that's why dark
On sofa again, with doily on one side .
