Progress on Both Fronts

Jan Stawasz Monster D... Challenge

Kurbatskaya D.... Challenge

This Russian pattern is finally behaving after I wet it and pinned it . This, after telling another tatter that I hardly ever pin/block anything, preferring a steam iron instead. But the pins certainly did the trick this time.

  5. I respect your efforts a llot, but compared to the js design, the second one is not very well balanced

  7. Fox, your doily(s) are coming along nicely such a great tatter. I did zoom in and I read 9ds for row 4 chains but yours look like 6 hence mine is a bit frilly just the chains. I may need to adopt your technique and give mine a little water spray a the end of this round but still a few rings to go. My day job keeps getting in the way of my tatting. Thanks for sharing
