Stunning Stawasz

I was not expecting to be so... so... enamoured with this piece. You know, I think in the five years I have been tatting this is my absolute favourite of all the tatting I have done. I love it.

Maybe it is the colour; this is also my favourite palette. 


There are seven more repeats to be tatted. I am so glad I rounded the corners of these elements - the shape pleases me.

Plus, the Cèbèlia in the last row actually looks amazing with the beads. Can you tell I am happy about the way this has turned out?

The baby blanket is coming along. Laid out like this, I see I have accomplished a fair bit.

  4. Your doily is beautiful! I can see why you're so enamored! You're making great progress with the baby blanket. The first one I made was a granny square. I didn't really know how to sew it together, and it fell apart the first time I washed it. Luckily, my mom was there to rescue me!

  5. Gorgeous doily! Those colors are beautiful. It's a great pattern - my eyes keep circling it taking in all of the details.

    The baby blanket will be very pretty. I like the nontraditional colors. Are you going to sash the squares together with white or one of the other colors?

    1. Hi Ann!
      Thanks. I will use white, and hopefully I can halve the skein so it will not show. That is how I have attached crochet pieces in the past.

  6. I like the colours you used in the granny squares! Did I tell ya?!
    Yes, I agree the rounded 'corners' on the last row of the doily is pleasing to the eye, together with the colour. Awesome choices.

    I like making granny squares . . . but, sewing them together? . . . Not so much! That is going to be one lovely baby blanket!

  12. That doily is a masterpiece, the colors are indeed the eyes of that great cat. The blanket looks very native Canadian to me, which makes a European girl dream,..Has the weather improved over there?

  13. The doily is definitely stunning! The colors work very well together.
    I can't wait to see the baby blanket all done. Last winter I thought about starting a granny square afghan. No idea where that came from, since I don't really crochet. For the time being, I will admire afghans that others make:)

  14. The doily is looking wonderful. The smoother edge definitely looks nicer than big 'teeth' on the outside. (Although *sometimes* - depending on the mood I'm in when I get to that point - the bit 'points' appeal to me, too.) Baby blanket is going to be lovely. The more squares you make, the nicer it gets.
