MY CROCHET WORK AFTER A LONG GAP......
Given a long rest for my crochet works, thought of making something that satisfy myself..... My favorite yellow color yarn in my treasure box invited me to do something to boost myself ....... Got an idea of doing a doily of my own ....... may be a easy doily but satisfied me very much on seeing the finished product.... Actually I would call this as a doily with leftover yarn....... hahaha..... may be funny to hear but its true, I don't have any more green yarn. Thats the reason this doily turned to be soooo small.......
