Now for Something Modern


This is a modern take on the doilies I showed you in previous posts. This is mercerized cotton that I bought on a whim for dishcloths. I knitted this 'diamond edge' design from a free pattern website that I love.

I discovered I could not bear to get this beautiful thing wet! I found this small Mexican pottery vase in another room, took the silk flowers out of another small vase, and voila! This vignette normally sits in the center of my kitchen table, so I get to enjoy it all the time.

I gave my neighbor one just like it, knitted in some caramel cotton yarn a knitty friend gave me (thank you, Sandra D). She has it on her kitchen table, too, with a vase of flowers.
