I learned to crochet with thread at 15 and love to do it. I even went so far as to crochet my DD wedding dress. It took 2 1/2 years, and I still kid her that she changed the man but kept the dress. I have also done bed dolls by Annie's Attic, and a tablecloth. But, my favorite is still doilies. Thank you for the pattern, I have not been able to crochet for some time, but with new pain machine will have to try it again.
