Sunday's them was Grapes, as you see in the title. For this challenge I wanted to do something a little more delicate and 'old school.' I chose to crochet a doily. Now, crocheting doilies isn't necessarily out of fashion (though maybe it is), but I envision it as something my Grandmother or Great Aunts would do. Don't get me wrong, there are lots of cool patterns out there. Old and New. I just think it's an antique technique that not a lot of modern crocheters continue to do. The pattern I found is called 'Grape Harvest Doily' by Jo Ann Maxwell. The pattern link is through Ravelry, however, that link will take you to another site that you do need to sign up for. The sign up is pretty simple, though, so don't fret! After that the pattern is free and easily printable to take with you. I chose to crochet this project in a lovely green and lavender. I know grapes don't come in this color in real life, but a pastel purple is just irresistible to me. My doily measures roughly 6 inches across. I think it's the perfect doily to set a candle on or an evening glass of wine - I mean, it's grape related!
