Hi All, After my trials with couronnes last year I thought I should add an update. I made a Battenberg doily with couronnes recently! I was going to have spoked wheels in all the 1" squares and then decided couronnes would look wonderful in some of the squares. I decided this while doing the legs for a spoked wheel and did a couronne without practicing first. That one I ended up cutting out but I did about 20 in all and they turned out pretty nice!! I was very pleased that I hadn't lost my touch. And they are SO MUCH FUN to do!! For any non-NLers couronnes are buttonholed rings. Last year I spent a few weeks trying to make them with a ring stick and finally got the tension right. The ones on the doily were made in place so that was a little tricky at first (trying to wrap the thread in the circle the same amount of times for each ring) but I got pretty good at it.
