Pattern Notes
Written instructions with no diagrams.  Finished doily is GORGEOUS!  With 15 years of crocheting experience including lots of lace, this was a challenging pattern especially in Size 30 thread.  I would like to make another of these in a larger thread because it is a very pretty pattern.


Round 15: Error on Round 15. Should be written as follows.
“Slip st to next FPtr, work BegShell in same st, ch3, work Shell in same St, ch3........(work Shell in next FPtr st, ch3. Work Shell in same st, ch3); repeat from *star*......”
Round 26: It was difficult & tedious to complete the Reverse Twisted decrease so I opted to do all Twisted decreases.  With such small thread, you can see there is a difference if you look very closely.  But not enough of a difference that anyone other than an expert is going to notice. 
Round 31: Weave stitch was very difficult to see with such tiny thread. Opted for a different variation. I’ll try this difficult stitch on a larger sized thread. The designer does offer a YouTube tutorial. But it is for a different pattern & she crochets left-handed so it can be tricky to make sense of it.

Doily Wall
When I get all of the doilies I used to make this wall, I will make a specific post about them.
