I use to make doilies all the time as my Mother was a huge crocheter, I ended up with all her crochet books after she passed away. I kept most of her books and magazines and that amounts to atleast 200 of them or more. I haven't crocheted for about 10 years and a neighbor asked me to make some doilies. I have for gotten how to turn the patterns around for left hand. The doily I have to make has to be 14" wide and 45 inches long oval doily. None of the books my Mom had they are either to wide or not long enough. This has perked my interest in croching again.
