Svanhild (My Hope for 1st Place)

My entry this year for the 12-24" doily class at the Puyallup Fair is Svanhild by Patricia Kristoffersen from Doilies With a Twist. It is made using size 10 white thread made by Hakelgarn (available from Handy Hands, Inc). I used a size 0 Clover Soft Touch hook. It measures 16 inches from point to point.

I am hoping that this doily will bring me first place. The competition is pretty stiff, so there are no guarantees. I figure I will at least place in the top 3 spots. I dare not dream of taking grand champion as there are a lot of entries to compete against for that.

Currently, I am working on another spiral doily for the 12" or less doily class. I'm making it in size 40 thread. I will post it when I am done. I am working carefully on it to make sure it is perfect. A labor of love to be sure!
