So a while back in a previous post about knitted lace doilies and the tablecloth I made thats on etsy, I also stated that I was in the middle of making a mixed crochet and Oya doily. Well, Its done! And doesn't it look mighty fine? Each has 5 rows of crochet and then 6 oya petals which are all joined to each other. I much prefer mixing crochet with oya to make doilies than starting off in the traditional way, as this takes forever and I get bored. I'll make one one day though, I always like to try things atleast once. This took me a while to complete, by the 5th motif I was getting drained, because as I said previously each petal has to be worked up individually. I'm going to put this one up on etsy sometime and see how it goes, although I should make some more in different styles for the market stall that I hope to have sometime this year!
Enjoy your day! Thanks for reading!

beautiful!
It's lovely. Will it be OK if I try to make a similar one? I've started with cotton thread, and I think you use the silk one...
Thanks Kim!
Piwonia: cotton thread will distort when washed and you'll have to block it to keep its shape. I use only nylon thread for all of my igne oyasi projects. And of course you can try this design out, let me know how it goes.
It's ready, it's ready, and sent as a gift to a friend of mine :) Thanks!
