There is a bent picot there. It's okay - just flopped over. : )
This yellow is all that is left in the #40 stash. Not sure of how large this piece will be, but having participated in a few Renulek Tat-Alongs, I don't want to be stuck with no colours to add in, and as I have already run out of white, I had to use it. Who knows what this will look like at the end. A guessing game.
I do know my hands are really sore from the rough thread. But the upside is, I think this is the most consistent tension I have yet achieved in tatting! It seems not as floppy and the stitches actually look all the same. Newbies take heart! It only took 6 years to reach this place and there's always more to learn and overcome.
When I first began, I recall experienced tatters telling me to "practice, practice practice." Well, I certainly have: almost every single day since 2009!
From here it doesn't look yellow, it looks gold and blends well with the colors you have!! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's looks fabulous as always!!! :)
Oh, good, Sue. Thanks. : )
DeleteThis one is only suppose to be 10 rounds so it shouldn't get too much larger.... only 3 more to go.... though the last round is a wider one & the same as round 4.
ReplyDeleteYour's is nicely colorful.... I really love the blue with the tan and gold.... I am finally just getting started on this one.... and did round 1 last night... and I have already changed my mind on what colors to use where.....
Really! Only 10 rounds! ! I must have missed that detail. Good! I really did not want this to be a huge piece as I'm not really fond if the colours. : )
DeleteShe added a new row today. That is not on the original doily. :( I had my colors all planned, lol.
DeleteIt look great and pretty quilt like if your color change you make them go together well. I was looking a the previous doily of Ben's does he have the josephine chain in there or were you getting creative? I didn't look at the directions that well yet :)
ReplyDeleteNo, I am following exactly! : )
ReplyDeleteThanks I'll have to do some reading soon :) that sure doesn't show up on pictures.
DeleteA bent picot? I can't see it. I can only see the Colours' Fairy at work!
ReplyDeleteNin, you are so darned cute! : ))
DeleteI LOVE the yellow! I'm falling behind. I still have about 1/3 to go on round 6, which means I'm a whole week behind... yikes!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Diane. It's good to hear the gold works! I'm struggling to keep up!
DeleteI think that color looks great, gold-ish.
ReplyDeleteGold is good! I was thinking yellow... Gold is definitely better! : ))
DeleteI think the gold works well - adding a spark ?!
ReplyDeleteWaiting to see what you choose next :-)
I'm sure you are pulling our collective leg when you talk about consistent tension & stitches! Have we not seen all your doilies that you tat up so quickly ?!
But I agree that learning never stops ...
...WAY too kind...,,, : ))
