Pattern by Mary Konior #20/100 MC Lizbeth #40
Here is a comparison of the two #40’s. I always assumed that Olympus was a lot bigger than the Lizbeth #40, but it is actually just minimally larger.
Thread Update: Newest Favourite Thread: Olympus.
I had forgotten how brilliant it is to work with. It is too bad that the selection of colours is so limited,because the quality is really superb.
Oh, yes, Olympus is fabulous. You make me want to get some more, although I do have a few balls of it already.
ReplyDeleteI had always thought it was more like a size 20 or 30. Thanks for demonstrating that it's not.
I've never tried the Olympus. Maybe I'll order one with my next Handy Hands order and try dying some. :o)
ReplyDeleteI love your Posies!!
Very pretty in mauve Fox. I like both versions, it's such a great pattern.
ReplyDeleteI have not heard of this thread, but your demonstration shows that's its not that different to Lizbeth thread, when tatted in size, pity I can't feel the difference.
ReplyDeleteLovely colour and of course the pattern is one of Mary's great patterns.
Love to Gian

I love this motif - and it's nice to see it in another color, as I always think of it as a Christmas wreath. I don't believe I've ever used Olympus thread, but now I may have to try some :)
ReplyDeleteAll of your poseys are beautiful, Fox.
ReplyDeletethose are pretty Posies Fox. I like the spring feeling of the mauve one. And the Christmas wreath in green.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried Olympus thread yet.....something to look forward to.....The posies look fab in the mauve, too. Like spring........wishing
ReplyDeleteHi Fox,
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
Lovely color combinations and such fine work.
ReplyDeleteI love Posy done up as a wreath! Maybe I'll tat Christmas wreaths for next year.
ReplyDeleteI do love Olympus, but Hakelgarn remains my all-time favorite. I really should tat up what I have before the thread goes bad. ;-)
both are very pretty! i love the purple. it's unique. u have a way with the beads too. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is my current favorite "go to" pattern and I so like the way you've made it up. Not sure I want to plan how many beads in the right order, so will have to use just one color of beads if I try it with beads. Oh, I like yours. Maybe you're convincing me!? Karen in OR
ReplyDeleteKaren,
DeleteThe only way I can get the order right is to draw it! Even then, I had to try about twice, with LOTS of counting to get the right amount of beads strung and in the correct order! If I can do it, anyone can!
Thanks for looking. : )
