Guess what!

I finished it!

I only had one round to go, so I finished it yesterday. Finally! I also ironed it, this time without spilling boiling water on my foot. I still hate picots though. One thing that sort of amazes me, is that I have a dog that is mostly black. So I thought that making a black doily would be a good thing, so that the hairs would not be as visible. But no. Some how, my Zelda thinks that shedding the black hairs is unnecessary, the white hairs however... I have no idea how I'm gonna get them off and out of this doily. I swear, I really tried to keep her and the hairs away, but still. Argh, all the hair. The doily measures 57 cm in diameter.(For comparison, the white one from earlier is 29 cm in diameter.) Still pretty happy about the final results, though!

Also, this is the other finished project I told you about earlier:

It is my first filet project. I know nothing about fileting, just the "idea" of it. And I did not follow any pattern. Well, I sort of did, but I drew the chart myself. I had to iron it, for the letters to be visible enough to read. Also, as you can see, the edges is sort of uneven. I guess I'll have to try some more filet, before I can tell you why it turned out this way. Anyways, for those of you not Norwegian, it says "Worlds greatest dad <3" My dad seemed happy, even though the uneven edges. Actually, he sort of lit up. I was going through my blog earlier, and I discovered, that I hadn't shown you my favorite doily. My first ever doily made in thread. I only had pictures of it together with the large version.

Three finishes in one day!

Today I've finished three projects! First I finished my first ever pair of crocheted socks: I don't know if I'll keep them myself or give then away yet, but here they are:

The photo does not give the colors justice!

Also, I finished a doily called Blue Pineapples. In white thread, ironically.I don't know what I'll do with it, maybe I'll sell it, if someone wants to buy it.

It is by no means perfect. It was sort of a training doily. I really need to learn to make consistent picots. The last round of doilies are usually where I "give up." They just seem to never end for me, so I get bored. This is the reason I still haven't finished my beautiful black pineapple doily.

By the way; I actually ironed the doily and the filet project, and while I did so I managed to pour boiling water from the iron onto my foot. It hurt...


The last item I finished was my first filet-project, but, I'm giving it away tomorrow, so I can't post it yet, in case the receiver is reading my blog.

Recently I've done several smaller projects, that I'll post later(I'm not home at the moment) But I do have one picture of one of them. A bath rug made out of plastic bags, and rubber bands.
