My precious husband inspired me to start working on some heirloom quality projects. Not that all of my finished creations aren't of high quality, but to begin to focus on pieces that can decorate our home for years to come and be passed down or given as cherished gifts. So as I have on stock some seriously fabulous vintage yarn and I tend to be a pretty "instant gratification" crafter, a smaller project - like a doily- seemed like a good place to start.
I began with a white yarn that was fairly chunky (for a doily at least) and did a variation of this pattern:
