Hi All,

I posted a while back about Hass Designs and maybe doing a CAL. However, after some feedback I have received, the charts put some people off. But, that doesn't mean we can't do another project! This CAL would be for people that have used thread before and want to do a project together.
I will take any ideas and will submit some on my own, til we get a consensus!
We would start this CAL right about the first of September, and run it until we are all done!
If you'd like to join in, please respond and we'll get to brainstorming!

Here is the one that I've been wanting to make: the Double Pineapple Doily. I want to make it in size 10 or 20 thread (not 30 as listed), so it will be fairly large.

Some other ones I like are:
Trish
Wish Upon a Star
Fan Doilies (directions for a large and small doily)
Mom's Crystal Star
Pineapple Print Doily


I'm looking forward to this CAL. I think it will be a lot of fun.

I really want to try a doily of some kind........or even a suncatcher or something like that. I will however, no matter what the pattern calls for, be using size 10 thread....right now I can't imagine going smaller!!

I have to admit, I thought of you as soon as I saw the name! LOL!

Is everyone agreeable on the Trish pattern?

Ok, consensus says the Trish pattern. I think we will start this Sept 4. That way everyone will be done with the holiday and my kids will be back in school! YAY! Oops, did I say that?! LOL!
I will be finished with my table runner and I will be able to work on the doily and some swap items. So it's a go!

Hi All, Just a reminder that we will start this CAL next Tuesday. You will need the following supplies:

Size 10 thread- approximately 155 yards
Steel size 7 hook
needle for weaving ends

I was taking a closer look at the Trish pattern and I really like the way the designer gives you the stitch count after each round. That sure makes it easier if you goof and have to go back to find your mistake! LOL!

So, if anyone else would like to do this CAL, you are most welcome to join in on the fun!

Today is the first day of the CAL!! I am working on the Beginner CAL coaster, but after lunch I am going to start on the "Trish" pattern.

I hope everyone enjoys this pattern. If you find mistakes in the pattern instructions, please post so we can all be aware!

I will be excited to see the finished doilies as we get them complete!

Remember, no time frame is involved here, no deadline or anything! Just a pretty pattern for all of us to make! Enjoy the CAL!
