Smooth Sailing

Oval Doily in Ecru 
Designed by
Linda Davies

Measures 81/2 inches by 71/2 inches.

Fun easy and fast pattern. Very repetitious.

A pleasant rest from my foiled  Russian misadventure!

There are many Split Chains in this pattern and I realize I am no longer nervous about tackling them. There was a time when the thought of an attempt would have strike terror...

    I like the oval shape. Yes, sometimes it's good to tat something straightforward!

    Wow this one came out nice and some how I missed this post too! Thanks for the information on the collar. I didn't see he previous post and it was right under that one. I some how imagined it being a peter pan collar and so I had a blouse like than and just measured it to 65 rings. She in her picture doesn't look like a large woman so I will add some to mine and good thing I am not close to the other end yet so I will add more when I get down there, that should work out fine I just need to think or ask her, and hope it goes well with the language problem and all! :) I am using size 20 thread too. Thanks for your help!

    Lovely piece of tatting. It looked like a round doily at first glance but I can then see the oval shape from the centre.

    Yes, split chains are not intimidating now. I always look for where I can use whenever I want to start on something new, juat to avoid cutting after rows.

    So lovely! My split chains aren't also clean as yours. I must train!

    This is gorgeous- such beautiful colors. I used to be afraid of split chains but I love them now.

    (Put you in my Feedly again- life is good!!!)

    Very pretty! I actually do better with split chains than split rings, so maybe I should give this one a try. ;-)

    Very nice! The repetitive patterns look so pretty and lacy, but I'm with you--I want more variety in the rows.
