OK, I promised to show pictures of my needlework (preferably completed needlework, thank you very much). So . . . on with the show!This doily is called "Reading Nook." It measures 7"x7" and is made from heavy cotton thread. (Sorry, I don't remember the brand.)
The pattern was from one of my favorite magazines, Magic Crochet (Vol. 132 - June 2001), now defunct. Fortunately, I managed to acquire most of the issues since it was one of the few magazines that published crochet patterns in the international symbols as well as the traditional crochet shorthand.
While this was a simple pattern to follow, I have found that I tend to attempt more of the advanced patterns when they are written in the international symbols. And isn't that what we all want to do -- advance our skills as much as we can?
