Hello and welcome! This is a blog about my mission to save doilies that are slated for the trash and ultimately lost forever. I'm deconstructing them by eye and and recreating them. History should not be lost.

I found it, I found the meme for me.
a meme picture of a massive barge that seems to be marooned on the banks of the suez canal. to its lower left is a teeny tiny excavator. on the big barge is the word "the insurmountable grief of existence." on the excavator is the word "crochet".

Not a rescued pattern, but I designed a bookmark. Here's the prototype. I'm just happy to make a pattern, to be honest.

A lacy crochet bookmark worked in ecru size 10 thread. It's my own pattern and the first prototype.

Not doily related, but I learned if you put the string in the notch at the bottom of the tea bag tag, you don't have to hold it to keep the whole thing going in when you pour the water.

Two cups of tea. String trick unlocked. I'm over 30, y'all

THE FIRST PASS IS FINISHED, ALL! Thread size makes a huge difference, wow. Now to block it and work on the next one. I do each pattern in rotation, so I don't get burned out on it. So happy it's DONE!

Two crochet doilies. One is an antique piece that was thrifted from an antique store. The other is a recreation of the pattern, done in larger thread, in the hopes of preserving a pattern that might be otherwise lost. It's the first pass, so there will need to be corrections, and as of now unblocked (the edges are curing up).

Hey all! As I get close to finishing the first doily's test run, I was wondering which I should work on next. Opinions?

Also, if ever you see a pattern and know where it comes from, let me know!

Four crochet doilies laid on a black counter top with the numbers 1-4 as options for picking.

ROUND 14 DONE. I am NOT doing it again, I swear. Please, do not make me do it again.

There's times when I stare too long at the pattern... 😵‍💫 and I hurt myself in my confusion 😅🧶

Pattern recreation is a lot of fun... Until you realize you messed up round 14 after reaching the end of round 15, and you have to undo both to start it at the correct sequence... And then near the end of round 14 AGAIN you realized you saw wrong, and didn't need to frog that far....

I thought I would start by introducing you to the first doily! I believe this is an original pattern, no info on artist or age. I'm a little further along now, and will post the final first shot when I'm finished. Such an exciting start!

Two Doilies: On top is a antique crochet doily, and the bottom is a WIP recreation. The second is worked in Ecru size 10 crochet cotton. The first is aged, no color assumed.
