I am still to finish off my Marilee Rockley course, but stopped to do other things, so back to work learning new techniques.<br /><br />Sorry to hear about your sore fingers. My husband had similar on his fingers and was recommended Flexitol, a heel balm, within a couple of days the sores had stopped stinging and healed up very quickly. Not sure you can get this in your chemist, but I have seen it work.<br /><br />Happy tatting, regards Dawn Dawn Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03174741609046154986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637401073707850632.post-60801025462582328202015-02-06T10:44:02.009-05:002015-02-06T10:44:02.009-05:00Well, I'm glad you didn't abandon the doil...Well, I'm glad you didn't abandon the doily.

And hold the chain between thumb and forefinger when feeding it through the SCMR - slowly. Not a pattern to be hurried, but I have been waiting weeks for baby yarn to arrive and it has been amusing me and keeping me calm .I practised with size 10 in the end, and that made it easier to see what was happening.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02383223698959645624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637401073707850632.post-90901328850425519952015-02-04T14:15:03.017-05:002015-02-04T14:15:03.017-05:00Two biggies in a row!

Yes, it does become costly if you need two-for-one-Lizbeth. <br /><br />Good for you for tatting Jane’s African pattern. That is one of the few patterns I have attempted to tat and had to give up entirely. I just could not get those interlocking chains to behave to my satisfaction, much to my chagrin! Very humbling experience; : (<br /><br />Choosing the colours in my meagre stash was a process for me. I know what you mean by needing the absolutely exact colour. Good luck with it. It os a wonderful design : )Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12889386206601730189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637401073707850632.post-70255484623963494622015-02-03T20:18:28.128-05:002015-02-03T20:18:28.128-05:00I think the colours are great! - and yes, it's...I think the colours are great! - and yes, it's always the ends of the balls of Lizbeth that give trouble. So really that makes it all twice as expensive. I have so much to use, and yet I didn't have the right green for my African Doily which finally I have begun.
