I had not commented on this doily, but I think I should point out that it's based on 11 pattern repeats. Most patterns I've seen are based on 4, 6, 8 or 10 pattern repeats. When I set out to design this one, I insisted on using a prime number. I originally started with 7 pattern repeats, but the doily was looking more like a bonnet so I started over. Have I mentioned before how stubborn I am? As if anyone would notice.
I'm a cheap knitter: I don't buy patterns and I knit with whatever cheap materials I can find. While my projects are not as pretty as they could be, I enjoy my hobby and get to wear my creations. People actually wear my gifts. What else could I hope for?
