LEISURE ARTS-Knit Doilies. A knitted doily can make a striking accent for a contemporary room; gracefully blending a touch of yesterday with the look of today. Decades ago; knitted doilies were just as popular as crocheted ones; and this collection by Rita Weiss show how lacy and elegant knitted doilies can be; to use as a work of art on a table or dramatically framed on a wall. All made using bedspread weight cotton thread; the designs include A Circle of Diamonds (adapted from an 1884 pattern); Springtime Leaves; Lacy Petals; Doily Garden; Elegant Whirly-Gig; Shining Starlight; and Victorian Splendor. Four doilies can be made with or without their sewn-on borders.
