The Lure of Liyarra


Using my arsenal of pencils, markers and scissors, I have used all my pattern aids and tricks and am tatting away at this challenging pattern. So far, so good on the first two repeats.

Liyarra has been very supportive, and has in fact written a bold tale in her determination to help me get through the pattern. She can definitely write as well as tat! Go have a look and a read here.  : ))

Also, take note; she has used two colours, something I had to abandon with one of the earlier attempts as it was too confusing.

 It is really a wonderful piece with the contrast.

  3. Think of it as doing a jigsaw puzzle in thread - that's what it always seems like to me!
    Stretches the brain.

  4. And here was I, thinking that giving up is sometimes a reasonable option! But then, we get by with a little help from our friends.
