A year ago Debby showed me how she learned to crochet, from her grandma, holding the hook from above like a knife, see Cal of Hodge Podge on YouTube, (her demo starts a quarter of the way into this video.)
This doily, Full Moon, is my first attempt using this method - fast and painless. I like it.
- 59" square, not so big - ~4950 yds, 40/2 linen thread - 1.5mm needles
- crochet doilies added to collection, 1 made by Mom, (left,) and 2 rescues from the thrift shop, (top and bottom right, $0.99 and $1.99 respectively.)
