    Nice! The owl really stands out in two colors, like it’s peeking through a tree.

    I’ve never made crochet lace. Did you have to block it to get the pattern to open up?

      Thank you. Yes and no. If you’re a really tight knotter then yes it helps open it up a ton. But if you’re loose then it doesn’t help as much other than the usual stabilization.

          I’d love to get the sun doily pattern.

          There are a couple of ethical concerns here though.

          I’m unclear on whether the original creator would be compensated in this case.

          It’s also a question whether the creator might be in Russia, which is embargoed for trade by most European and English speaking countries. The owl pattern is posted on a Russian-based group which would fall under embargo.

          The pattern is available in English and Russian, but the family name is of Ukrainian origin. So, it’s possible she could now be in Ukraine or any number of countries other than Russia. I don’t see a creator profile linked that would clear this up.

            Based on conversations I’ve had the embargos didn’t affect buying this item. I could still be wrong though.

                I googled the embargoes when I was debating buying and there was nothing outlining this kind of purchase.

    Ooh this is such a cool pattern, making it in two colours was a stroke of genius. How big is this? I was thinking like big full-size doily but then I saw one of the projects on Rav has a hand for scale and it’s actually tiny!
