Doily Crochet
Crochet? Doilies? Help please. . . .?

So my mother in law's house burned down a couple of years and this Christmas, he realized that the mats his grandmother did was with the house. So I offered to do some, but here is my problem – rugs are always very boring or flyers. Are there rugs that do not look like your grandmother made them 100 years ago? Yes, I know that probably no such thing as a hip doilies, but can anyone help? Any pointers making doilies would be appreciated – I crochet very well, but I never made doilies before. Thanks;) Oh my god! Thank you very much, that website does help;)

here is a site very good to use all the time when I'm looking for something different to crochet. simply scroll down and half on the right side is a section of carpet. http://www.myhq.com/public/c/r/crochetpoet/ and maybe this site will help you find other patterns too. good luck
