    Coasters using Mali Dokmai Stitch

    Yesterday one of the Crochet Partners members asked about Thai Crochet Stitch. I remember that I learned that stitch from my masseuse. But I just realized that the shape of the flower was different. The one that was uploaded in Crochet Partners has 4 rays while the one that I learned before has 6 rays.…

  • Crocus Doily in Red

    Finally I finished this doily. It took me months to made this. A lot of other things distracted me. I cannot remember when I really started this project, but I remember queued this doily on Ravelry since December last year.
