When I made some doilies a few weeks back, I probably gave the impression that I would never crochet another.  Never say never! 

I am taking part in Kirsty’s The Quilt Project, and since embroidery isn’t really my thing (I know how, but generally choose not to) I thought I could contribute something that was very “me” by incorporating crochet into my block.

I decided to crochet a doily to be appliqued to my square, but knew I’d need to do a practice one first.  Found some hot pink 4ply cotton from Bendigo Woollen Mills in the stash, a 2.5mm hook, and this pattern.  The pineapple motif is an old one in crochet, so my hope is that it comes from a similar era to redwork.

Now onto crocheting the doily again in red – but in which yarn?  You’ll have to wait and see.
