It is a small doily (only 10 inches across after blocking), which features lots of popcorns.
This doily is quick and easy to make, and only takes about 100 yards of thread.
I name my doilies after my friends, so I named this doily Ninfa after my very good friend.
I only met Ninfa last year, but we became instant friends. We live in the same neighborhood, go to the gym together, occasionally meet for coffee at our local Starbucks, go hiking, and text each other every day!
Yesterday we went on a hike up on the foothills behind my house. We've been having a lot of rain here in Northern California, and the hills turned so lusciously green! What a joy to go for a walk with a good friend to enjoy the nature and fresh air!
My Ninfa Doily pattern is available in my shops on Etsy and Ravelry!
I am so excited to share that I finally made my first ever crochet video!
For many years, I had been getting questions and requests regarding crochet video tutorials, but I was reluctant to give it a try.
If you think about it, it's quite intimidating putting yourself out there. It's not an easy step.
It was especially not easy for me. English is not my native language. I speak with an accent and make grammar mistakes. I am extremely self-conscious! You can hear in the video (especially in the beginning) that my voice is trembling. I do hope it will get easier with time, and my future videos will be of better quality.
The first video that I made is for the Caron Simply Soft Lace Scarf that I shared the pattern for a couple of years ago.
As I was uploading this video on YouTube, my seven-year old son walked into the room. "What mommy? You are a youtuber now?" he was so surprised. If you ask him what he wants to be when he grows up, he'll answer without hesitation: "A youtuber!"
"Mommy, you set the comments on? Bad choice, mommy! Don't you know who trolls are? Trolls are people who will post nasty things in the comments. They will say really hurtful things, mommy!"
Isn't it sweet how how my son is concerned about someone hurting my feelings?
But life of full of trolls, in one way or another. But it's also full of wonderful, kind-hearted people, who will support you and cheer up for you. I am putting myself out there with these kind people in mind. And trolls, well, I'll have to learn to ignore them.
Happy New Year! I wish you all lots of creativity and fun crochet projects in 2019!
