It's been hot around here but worse than that, it's been extremely humid. Even the kitties in this house are beginning to show signs of lethargy.
Herrschner's had #10 cotton thread on sale, so I bought some...a bunch...a bushel...
Now, the thing about this is that I don't use #10 thread. I've always thought it was too hard to use those itty bitty hooks and that teeny tiny thread. But when I needed a light weight yarn to make the camisole top that I made recently, I decided to try 2 strands of #10 thread...and lo and behold, I loved working with it. Of course by the time I was finished with the camisole I knew that I was going to have to try making a doily. The picture above is my very first attempt at a doily. I've already ordered enough #10 cotton thread of one color to make a beadspread...now I just have to find a pattern...and 5 years to make it.

As one who has made a black doily, you did a nice job on yours! Hope you have many more doily projects in your future!
Your doily is stunning! Way to go, girlfriend!
Thread is just a "little" addictive, don'cha think?
