Pineapple CentrePiece Crochet Doily

I have just finished stitching this lovely crocheted doily, took me about 4 full on days to put it together.  I enjoyed making it even though i get a lot of pain in my left arm as i crochet.  The end result was worth all the pain.  The pattern is from my book called Crocheting Tablecloths and Placemats Edited by Florence Weinstein, Dover Needlework Series.  I used no 20 crochet cotton which comes from Greece, its like a thin rope, its far more prettier in real life than the photos.  Hope  you enjoy my pics.
