Crochet Wavy Doily Update

My wavy doily is flattening out. Where there was extra fabric the pattern later calls for decreases. Smart. I have one more pineapple to do, so naturally I've put it down and moved on to another project.

Update:

Right now I'm blocking doily. Lots of work. You want it to be even, but you're only human. Let it go.
I think I have to starch it later, not sure. Came far from that wavyness. Do you agree?

Back to post:

I've also bought some thread with stainless steel for a new project. I was thinking of making a necklace. It's a free pattern from Lion Brand. The thread is LB Collection Wool Stainless Steel. It's 75% wool and 25% stainless steel. It's supposed to be delicate and good at holding shapes, wonderful qualities for jewelry. I bought an purple cherry color and a wine color to mix

I'll tell you how it goes. This yarn has gotten mixed reviews. Some say it's hard to handle. Not a good yarn for a newbie.
