I don't like to use them myself (I grew up with them as an everyday item of decor and felt as if I grew out of them) but I admire the delicate and detailed work that goes into them and am so relieved that others are rescuing them. I have enough bits and pieces of other forms of textiles around the house that I don't think I would have space for doily rescue as well.LynShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13724603965512647078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1115005384288167779.post-82712765241518309512011-01-17T08:51:16.379+11:002011-01-17T08:51:16.379+11:00they really are beautiful, and made to be used. an...they really are beautiful, and made to be used. and even framed. and when you go your kids will donate them to the V&A of course.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1115005384288167779.post-20463453464743943652011-01-16T20:38:06.018+11:002011-01-16T20:38:06.018+11:00There you go, I don't even remember giving the...There you go, I don't even remember giving them to you!<br />I've only knit the one doily, but I keep thinking about framing it.

I like your idea of framing them, I should do that too.<br /><br />Oh, and knit one or two as well (I have crocheted many!)Rose Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08510204661811765499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1115005384288167779.post-50606852297235231572011-01-16T18:46:42.714+11:002011-01-16T18:46:42.714+11:00I love doilies.

My partner is such a clutter bug for any neat surface, it makes it hard to decorate.<br /><br />Love your doilies. It always saddens me to see big boxes of unloved doilies at the thrift stores.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03229883789485107841noreply@blogger.com
