Threads To Tread

Threads...Threads...Threads...
Oh what a tangled web I tread!

I'm new at Blogging so try to bear up. Any help or advice would be nice but probably useless. I seem to have developed the bad habit of having to learn the hard way and if all else fails I might read the directions! But hey, the benefit of your wisdom, vast and hard won experience can't hurt can it?

My current project is an oval free form floral doily. what a mouthful! Hopefully I'll get some pics up soon.

I love creating my own patterns but have never developed the knack for writting out the patterns... so tedious! So if anyone can give me some hints and tips on this I PROMISE ON PAIN OF PURLING 10,000 STICHES TO READ THEM :) (you have no idea how much I hate Purls. Don't ask why, it just seems to make my fingers work in ways they weren't meant to)
