Here we are... Row 11 ALMOST done. I just could not get to that final bit last night - just could not face it! Oh, this is turning into to be a real jaw-clencher!
So sorry - all I do is complain, so one would think I would just move on to something new... but I can’t! I must see this through to the bitter end! Aghhghhhhh...
The thread is diminishing at quite a rate, but I have enough of both colours to finish. At least I think I do. I am NOT purchasing new thread for this.
Also, it is very big - substantial and heavy. When I pick it up I am amazed that this is tatting!
It's absolutely beautiful, Fox!
ReplyDeleteStay the course! Your other option is laundry...
ReplyDeleteSeriously, it's beautiful!!!
Hey, Michelle,
DeleteKeep it clean! Thanks for the comments and the ongoing chuckles,
fox : )
I love it Fox, it's so beautiful! I wish I had your stamina. :-) I can't wait to see it done! Betting you can't either. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteHey, Gian! I've got a mouse just like that, although my mom thinks it looks more like a fish, especially after I chewed the tail off. Of course, I don't let it stop me from chewing on the tatting too!
ReplyDeleteMy mom thinks your mom's doily looks great!

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI just finished mine yesterday morning. It measures 60cm. As you said its heavy! I used size 20 thread- 4 1/2 balls of main colour and one full ball of the second colour.I am glad its finished. Do keep going and finish it. Its worth it. Have a good christmas.
Cheers,
Jen
Congrats, Jen! I am envious! I would love to see yours. You could email me a pic??

Fox - how do you eat an elephant, after all? - I think you are approaching this with the wrong point of view - it is the ultimate example of Process Tatting.Enjoy the time you spend with it, and I bet you'll miss it when it's finished.It's beautiful.

Maureen, you are very sweet. You know, I have actually been using chopsticks for most of my life, and this blog? Just another persona to try out!
DeleteShhhh... Our little secret . : ) I am experimenting with the grumbling whiner!

Fox, persevere you will, I know. The doily is turning out really well. It's worth seeing it to the final round. ")
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful! You are creating a wonderful heirloom.
ReplyDeleteHi Fox
