heart doily bowl

Last week, I wanted to put things aside to make a quick little project. I found this pattern, Hearts Desire Doily and hooked it up. It's a fun, fast pattern to make!

When I first found the pattern, I thought I might make it a potholder but it turned out much too big. So, I decided to make it into a bowl instead. To make it, I used a glue/water mixture. I thought I would give it a try and see if I liked it better than the sugar I used for the first doily bowl I made. It looks good but it is extremely flimsy, so I'll be fixing it with the sugar mixture eventually.

    Very pretty. Me and thread don't get along too well, but I've done one or two simple projects.

    Wow--what a great idea! I will have to add a crocheted bowl to my ongoing list of things I want to make. Sugar mixture, huh? Sounds too good to be true! Thanks for sharing.

    I have heard the sugar starch attracts ants? I bought some powdered starch the other day and tested on some thick lace - it worked well (mixed with some water)
