Challenge...
Okay, so this is the most I've ever blogged in one day...I know y'all will forgive me, right? *wink* Anyhooo, I have a challenge for those who are up to it. If you've read my previous posts, you'll already know that I take certain doily patterns and make them into blankets by using yarn instead of thread, and a large hook. As I read someone's post in the October 2005 Archive at CrochetPartners, I was inspired by a certain French Crochetalong. It seems that a doily pattern was given out to members of a forum, and each member was to make something wearable with it--it didn't look like it mattered what the garment ended up being. What the results came to be were fantastic, such as gorgeous shawls, ponchos, skirts, collars, wraps, etc. Therefore, I am issuing a similar challenge, only it doesn't have to be something wearable. I am currently working on a Nosegay Doily doilyghan, making it into a baby blanket using shades of greens and yellows. What can you, dear readers, make out of this particular pattern? Please respond to let me know if you are taking me up on your challenge, and I will send you an email addy to which you can send pics, or you can respond with a link to your online photo album. Happy Hooking!

I must be crazy. Do you have any idea how many WIPs I have going on right now? Still, I like the idea of a challenge and this looks like a good one. I'll post my progess on my blog at http://knittnmama.blogspot.com.
