      Hi Crazy Mom, it will be about 25 inches across (approx. 63 cm). The largest I'd done before that was a mere 16 inches so this feels like an accomplishment! And call me crazy (too!) but I'd like to do even bigger than that one day...

    That is one amazing doily! It must have taken you forever. I don't think I have the patience for a project that big. Awesome job.

      Hi Kittytat, do you mean you've not seen the pattern before? Or not seen it on my blog before?

      Hi, thank you! I'm not sure where I'll put it yet. I do have a few doilies dotted around the house already but I'm sure I'll find a good use for it!

    Looks beautiful. Always wanted to try this but being so large was a bit worried it might not sit well. Did you have to modify the pattern at all?

      Hi Liyarra, no, I didn't need modifications... but it does tend to "frill" a bit and needs pressing every so often as you move up the rounds. I particularly disliked the long chain rounds because, as you can see, they are very arched rather than in a more natural curve so they needed quite a bit of coaxing into place!

    A ja właśnie jestem w trakcie robienia frywolitkowej serwetki motylkowej. Co za zbieg okoliczności. Motylki nasze są bardzo podobne. Pozdrawiam. Zapraszam do mojego bloga. Dziś chyba jeszcze pokażę na jakim etapie jestem, post w trakcie ale udostępnię.
