Jan Stawasz Doily

Hi Everyone, I have been busy working on different projects for myself for a change, this is one of them. I love the colors Jan chose for the doily because it matches the colors in my dining room so well. I can hardly wait for it to be finished. This is my 1st really large doily. it is going to be 33cm. I am tatting it in size 20 thread in lt. blue and salmon using 2 shuttles. Since 2 colors are being used you cannot use split chains to get to the next round. This will challenge your skills in hiding your ends.

  1. That's a very pretty pattern you've chosen. The blue and salmon sound lovely. How many more rows does it have?
