Pattern from: A New Approach to Tatting
by Yusai Shokoin.
This is all I have managed to do in the past two days. It’s all try and try again, I’m afraid, and that is using a plain, old, ivory #30 Cébélia!
Should be a while before I will be able to show you anything. Thanks to the tatters at InTatters, I have good instructions that Frivole addresses here.
Well, the turtle did beat the hare in the end, and you are nothing if not persistent.
ReplyDeleteWhat?! He did? How unseemly. That is some kind of aggressive turtle... : ))
DeleteROFL!!!!!
DeleteLaughing too!!
DeleteVery nice motif!! :) Knowing you, that doily will come out beautifully in the end!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sue. You are always so optimistic!
DeleteSometimes, you need to set a project aside and do something else, which is exactly what you did with the motif above. And Miranda is correct, the turtle did beat the hare in the end. Slow and steady wins the race every time.
ReplyDeleteReally pretty blue motif
ReplyDeleteLovely tatting! I always stop tatting the moment I make a mistake, for then I get all exited and lose my patience. Just have to sleep on it.
ReplyDeleteNice piece of tatting, lovely colour, I am laughing at the turtle and the hare, I am sure you know the turtle or tortoise always wins and the hare is always last.
ReplyDeleteLove to Gian
I am trying to catch up with the blogs but everyone's been so busy I don't think I will ever catch up.
Hope you have a nice weekend
Hugs
