Well the Valencia doily is progressing but I'm changing the final round so that it stands out a bit more than just a round of chains. Not totally sure it'll work but we'll see. This is where I'd got to when I last showed you.
The light creamy rounds had to be done in a different colour than the centre due to the ball of thread having an untimely meeting with a cup of coffee!!!! Even though it dried out just fine I decided to ditch the rest of the ball. Well, I'd had it hanging around for probably fifty years so I thought it didn't owe me anything!!! It had gone quite hard too. It was a Coats thread.

Here's the progress so far.
