So I finally started working on This Butterfly Doily. I have had the pattern since last fall but have been on a mission to build my jewelry inventory so there’s been no time for my peaceful doily making. Well, the last few weeks, I forced myself to make some time for some mental health grounding doily making because doilies are so very great for me as mental health breaks!
So, it began going so well, Papillon Antique… starts with the lovely making of the 4 butterflies. Then proceed to build around it. Well, things change and and once I got to round 2, I lost my beautiful butterflies and had to set them free and cut cut cut! The lighter shade just made them disappear into the work and it made me sad.
I waited until morning, started again and picked a completed different color to allow my lovelies to stand out… so heres the progress. I will say, my only sadness is this doily is going to be much smaller than I anticipated. I guess thats still the “crochet doily” brain of me. Nonetheless, that means it will be done sooner than later and as i have a few others on my list, as well as more exciting jewelry to create. I am enjoying this design very much! I will hopefully be done with row 2 of the body today and then I will have to decide what color option to choose for the final row.
