After lots of struggling with the picots, I finally finished the Prairie Star doily. I’m still having a tough time blocking doilies, but I seem to be getting better at it. I need more pins, though. I put about 300 pins in this thing. I think I have another two boxes of 50 each, but I definitely cannot block the Pineapple Squares Thing with only 400 pins if this doily took 300…

Thought I’d put up a photo of the doily in its home in a corner of my bedroom, too. Don did the flowers a while back…

That’s all for now. One of my cats, Kittycat, is sick and at the animal hospital, and I’m leaving soon to go visit him. He should be coming home tomorrow. The vet says he’s pretty much better now, but since he had a urinary blockage and his bladder got all huge, he wants to keep Cat there with the catheter in for an extra day to make sure his bladder gets back to normal, or something like that.

That doily looks super! Wow, when I block I hardly use any pins at all. Hmmm. I guess it is a matter of preference? I just stretch it and pin the edges and create equal tension, but have found with the spirals that they need to be pinned.

I’m glad to hear Kitty is doing better and expected home soon. I was worried about him and I asked Mr. Doo to use his special powers to help. He does have powers, though he is 99.9999% Evil, he does do acts of Goodness with them!

I think the home for the doily is beautiful!
