Very sweet of you. : )<br /><br />The thing is, I did one of the loops and knew I could do it, but it is so fiddly that I know that kind of tatting drives me nuts! So, once I had figured it out, I felt justified in shelving it - permanently! That is not the kind of pattern I want to pursue. Much too finickey. : )Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12889386206601730189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637401073707850632.post-63359498469364014302014-06-22T20:14:49.042-04:002014-06-22T20:14:49.042-04:00Well, the doily looks perfectly find and complete ...Well, the doily looks perfectly find and complete as it is. There's nothing at all wrong with leaving it.<br /><br />But, at some point you're going to come across it in the drawer and decide that you really should finish it, because that's what you do. Looking at the photo in the book, it seems to me that if you only conquer the next section of side-by-side arcs, the rest of the doily only repeats what has already been done, or slightly varies it. I'm just saying this to give you confidence in case you change your mind some day.<br /><br />Driberg looks awesome with beads!Mirandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07966487848401662776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637401073707850632.post-65350060859020241682014-06-21T07:42:33.775-04:002014-06-21T07:42:33.775-04:00When you're done, you're done.

Although I was intrigued by the photo, I had some reservations when I began, and as a worked on it my initial suspicions were confirmed. It is an interesting tat, but not one for this tatter! I am curious to see how umintsuru fares. : )Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12889386206601730189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637401073707850632.post-71657000515056483602014-06-19T06:45:36.351-04:002014-06-19T06:45:36.351-04:00Hi Fox
