I made this last year from a chart, and it is the most challenging doily I've done so far.
First, I am not familiar with charts and I never learned to crochet from a chart. I attempted a few easy chart patterns with success so when this one caught my eye, I just had to try it. There was a lot of "frogging" involved and I just know there is a big mistake in there somewhere! Blocking was a bear and my eyes begged me to stop...but I do like the fnished product. Just don't ask me to make another one! 😉
Wow! This is So Fantastic, Really Great Job :) What will this Piece be Used for?

Thank you so much! Well, at present, she is sitting in an oversized pizza box with about 30 of her sisters! I just enjoy making them. They don't make the best gifts because most people think they're old fashioned and then they end up in someone elses closet! haha

What the heck is frogging?

It's when you pull all your stitches out and it makes the sound "rippit, rippit", very similar to the sound "ribbit, ribbit" made by frogs! 😀😀

I love the finished product! I worked from a crochet chart one time and it took me a minute to get used to. I can’t imagine how doing something like this from a chart would be, I probably would have gotten confused and given up lol! Kudos to you for completing your project, it’s lovely~
Also if you would like to see your work displayed at Steemfest you can view it in this post.

Thank you! I still hesitate to try another difficult chart pattern, but I have lots of old magazines filled with them so I will try again. Yes, I saw your repost a few days ago! How cool is that having a project pic on display at Steemfest! Thanks for all your efforts to make it happen for us. You are a gem! 💕

I had to google 'frogging'. What a revelation! I've done HEAPS of frogging without ever knowing that's what it's called.
I was also interested that you mentioned 'blocking'. I sort of knew, intellectually, what that meant, but have never done it. I looked up a couple of explanations and should probably do it. I think my new yoga strap could benefit.
Apart from learning all that interesting terminology, the doily looks nothing short of magnificent!

I had never heard of frogging until I joined a few crochet groups on FB. They all use that term. I admit, it does fit.
Blocking a doily can be a pain, but it is usually necessary with thread. I wet it, then pin it to a foam tile, then spray with starch and let it dry. It looks totally different when blocked..and much better.
Thank you very much for the compliment! 😀

Thank you very much! It is about 16 inches across but could have been made much larger because it is many parts put together, but I could not keep going because my eyes were getting tired!
