The colors are beautiful as well. <br /><br />The acorns and oaks is a lovely edging...pretty little linen square. I've done the add a row thing before, works out well...a good solution. Once I went round once, and a second time only on one side because the hankie had a narrow white border all around, but the border was smaller on one side than the others and it irritated me no end that it wasn't even.Julie Romerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01751873893975378285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637401073707850632.post-58134201184917668212013-05-18T12:32:00.156-04:002013-05-18T12:32:00.156-04:00Gorgeous hankie!

But you are right, that happens on occasion, are we afraid that it is dissolving over time, and if we get it tatted up it will be safe? he he. any way. Very smart to think of an additional crocheted row to enlarge the center. I can see where leaving out 1 repeat of ring/chain per side would have caused you to have to stretch the edge to fit and that wouldn't have been good at all, as it would have pulled back together over time and not laid flat.<br />I like the colorway you used, so pretty and yes, soft fuzzy threads are a pain to use, but they can give such nice results once they are tatted up. <br />I like the rose petal photo set up, very nice.
