I love that crocheted doily on your site -- is the pattern current that I might order it? Pineapples are a favorite of mine to crochet.]

I made this large doily from an old pattern book, I think an issue of "Magic Crochet."
I'll see if I can find it.]

Here is the source of the doily, named "A Note Of Irish" :

Decorative Crochet magazine, March 2004 Number 98, pg. 23..

My doily, using Size 10 cotton crochet thread and straight-shank Size B hook (smallest for yarn)

Thanks, and it was fun to make. Not a quickie project at all, but it really did not take as much time as one would think.

My daughters crochet, but I am too visual a person, it makes me crazy. Your Doily is just beautiful. Great work

How neat that you mentioned liking the visual better than the written!
In fact, the directions for this doily, and all the patterns in the Magic Crochet and Decorative Crochet magazines, are in graphic form, not written!
I really like being able to see the structure of the pattern at a glance.
