I like it a lot.<BR/><BR/>As for the older patterns and how long you've been knitting doilies -- be patient, buy what you can where you can, and eventually you too will have an enviable collection of patterns. The magazine you can buy for less than $10 today will be a $150 collector item within 10 years. Or, the one that came out 10 years ago before you were knitting doilies and goes for $150 now will someday get republished for $10.<BR/><BR/>Judy Gibson suggests buying everything that comes out, because things go out of print so quickly and you never know what you'll want to knit in a few years. Now that I've been knitting doilies for a while, I tend to agree with her. Well, not for every knitting thing that comes out, but certainly for the doily stuff. I'm very grateful that I bought what I did when I did.<BR/><BR/>You've done some beautiful doilies. Have fun with the Salmon Queen doily! And your lace shawls, too.jphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00756004461717514952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1540626234869375033.post-21886355924317394842007-11-18T14:29:00.000-07:002007-11-18T14:29:00.000-07:00Beautiful work on the doily.

I have that copy of Lavoris but none of the older ones since I really didn't knit many doily's in the past.Lacefreakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06291336363387079445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1540626234869375033.post-21683663123408559442007-11-04T08:55:00.000-07:002007-11-04T08:55:00.000-07:00Thanks!Yep, the old Lavoris are worth owning if yo...Thanks!<BR/><BR/>Yep, the old Lavoris are worth owning if you can find them for a reasonable price. #9 and #10 are 100% Engeln patterns. If you can't find these issues, you can still purchase any or all of Engeln's patterns.<BR/><BR/>The older Lavoris contain all kinds of interesting (and odd) things, including a bunch of Niebling designs.<BR/><BR/>You've been buying doily patterns for a lot longer than I have! You must have a wonderful collection.jphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00756004461717514952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1540626234869375033.post-10693034336766177092007-11-02T16:12:00.000-06:002007-11-02T16:12:00.000-06:00It's lovely!I have 11, of course, but I also have ...It's lovely!<BR/>I have 11, of course, but I also have 7 and 8, which I bought many years ago when they first came out. Nice designs in all of them. I think 7 (maybe 8) has Campanile, but it looks awful in there.fleeglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06348327363198905898noreply@blogger.com
