Another Shade Umbrella

What? Another one? Yep! But, different doily pattern (found here) and in wonderful, amazing RED! To say this one was a challenge is an understatement! I originally used a different pattern, but I couldn't get it to work, so I decided to use the same one Mikey used (from the Crochet Crowd). Many of my hours when I started this project I was quite tired which resulted in me mis-reading the pattern. A lot. Which, as you can imagine, resulted in lots and lots of frogging. A big thank you to the beautiful Jess who helped me with the pattern when my brain wouldn't work. After a month struggle with this pattern I am happy to say I am done!! The only thing I changed was the chain on the outside because I didn't like how it hung down. I used 8ply or DK yarn with a 5.5mm hook.

Oh, what am I forgetting? Pictures! Here you go!
