    Enormous doily

    17 Sep 2009

    Did I mention that I’ve been making an enormous doily? Well, it’s not enormous yet, but it will be, and it’s certainly bigger than the person who wrote the pattern anticipated.

    I’ve stalled though, as I’ve run out of jute. It’s on the shopping list.

      I love love LOVE it! Looks so cool. Quick question – what exactly is jute? And is it soft enough that the doily can be used on a chair back? Retro, I know!

      Hi RosyJute is a natural fibre made, I think, from a sisal plant. It's fairly rough, but comes in all different grades and thicknesses, so you might find one that is soft enough for your chair back.h

      Crochet is so easy, Julie! It's just knots.

      What a brilliant idea! I love to crochet and love your rug. Do you use 'normal' wool or something more hard wearing?

      This is one amazing doily/rug thing! What size crochet hook are you using? Or did you have a special hook made for you?

      Hey, guys, so pleased you like it so much! I've got more jute and am speeding ahead. @chika, I did see the ladies and gentlemen project – amazing stuff!@anairam, I'm just using my usual crochet hook, although I should use a bigger one. But all you need is to hook the stuff thru, so it's fine.@karen, it's getting a bit bulky as it grows, but it's pretty easy really. xx

      You clever thing. Will it be a floor doily?

      Reply
    25. Xander 23 Sep 2009 at 7:22 am

      That is quite clever, though I must admit I'm rather distracted looking at your floors! I'm quite envious. I kind of wish I owned this place, so I could rip out the awful gray-blue carpeting, and fix up the parquet flooring underneath… -X
