I read in a blog which I don't remember that doilies have a bad rap and that we should call them "anti-scratch mats" instead. My husband has been chortling about this and calling it an ASM (pronounced as a word). This little guy is in Lizbeth size 20. It's the same color as my TIAS goat but I can't remember the name. The whole ASM is about 5 inches across.

Latin for today: mens sana in corpore sano = A sound mind in a sound body. (It's not my own thought but I like it. And since I'm almost done with a small bout of pneumonia, I should be able to ride my bike soon!)
pretty!! Do you know, I have that book, but haven't used it yet.
ReplyDeleteI like your "ASM", though!

Glad you are feeling better.
ReplyDeletepretty ASM and I am partial to purple.
ASM... haha! I love the purple!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are feeling better! The purple whatever-you-want-to-call-it is pretty indeed.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are getting better, there are a lot of bugs about at the moment.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful doily, sorry it will always be a doily to me, I am too old to change names to something fancy, which means nothing. It's a doily. It a beautiful colour.

Beautiful doily! Love the color. Wikipedia says 'doily' is an ornamental mat...sounds good to me.
ReplyDeleteLooks sooo beautiful!! Great job!
ReplyDeleteVery nice design - one book I've thought of getting for a while. And the colour looks to me like Violet/Pink Dk (635), do you think? I've just been working with that colour and it looks the same, on the monitor anyway.
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful!! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tatting - lovely color. I can see the design has a bit of challenge!
ReplyDeleteReally? ASM? I like doily - the word reminds me of vintage and you know, we never have enough of them!!!
Well, as I can see I wasn't the only one sick lately ;)...(but I'm happy, too that you are done over it and dreaming for riding your bike ). Quite a wish....
ReplyDeleteThis purple doily is so delicate...I love the color, I love the pattern and I love that it's so.. miniature.
Maximum gaudium!( hopefully that's correct , but you get the sense of it;) )
ASM, that gave me a laugh.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful.
