It doesn't look like much and I do wish it were all red - a gorgeous shade in #40 Lizbeth that I have not used before, - but this is for someone who ordered red and white. I added beads to make it less, hmmm, red and white!
Slowing down has really made a huge difference in the quality of my tatting; I wish you could feel how sturdy this motif is. Suddenly, the change in tension is remarkable.
They - whoever 'they' are - say that 'a rest is as good as a change,' and I see the validity in this aphorism as I spend a little less time with the shuttles.
Tangling has occupied the majority of minutes in the past week and this has affected my tatting, all to the good. There is a valuable lesson to be learned here for the obsessed and addicted portions of my personality!
UPDATE ON T.I.A.S.
pretty! Well the red and white is very Valentine-ish.

Your stitches are so even and beautiful! Quality, not quantity!
ReplyDeleteWhoa! Miranda, coming from you, that is quite a compliment! Thank you! : )
ReplyDeleteThis looks beautiful and crisp, and wonderful in red.
ReplyDeleteI think the motif is going to look great. I like that you are using some silver beads to accent the red and white! Good idea!
ReplyDeleteHeehee, it's fun to see how everyone's goat is turning out... I know Jane's having a good laugh from all the coloured animals we produce.
I love Lizbeth #40 also, such a pretty color. The motif is looking very nice. And it's great that your tangling has helped with your tatting. Who knew?
