Beauty and The You Know What


Yes, I have managed to manoeuvre the puzzle of a Land of Laces piece into a couple of repeats, after about fifteen miserablely failed beginnings. Must be a holiday gift from my beneficent tatting Muse, to whom I offer sincere thanks. Isn't it soooo pretty?

The thread is Lea's #50. Superb.

If I'm fortunate, I shall be able to complete the six more needed repeats of the hankie border. Maybe I'll have enough of Lea's wonderful thread to finish. That's a big maybe, as there isn't much left in the bobbin.

Also 50 meters of #50 thread.

  3. Yess! I hope you get all the way round, be very wary, I kept going wrong right up to the last repeat.
    I bet you'll be tatting top speed to finish the edging before the thread runs out...that is what I do.

  4. Lovely projects! Such a busy busy lady!
    What pattern are you using for the edging?
    It looks familiar but I can't quite tell from the photo.

    1. Marla, I found the pattern on a Russian site, somewhere out there in Cyberspace...Do not remember where or if it had a credit; I don’t think it did.

  5. Lovely colour and pattern, somewhere or sometime this year I thought I would tat it, mm not sure where that thought went, it never got started, but I do do the hearts on there own as a bookmark.
    Hope you have not got too much snow, we have seen some picture of the USA, we have wind horrible gales and there's a lot of flooding up north, parts of the U.K. are badly hit.
    Stay warm with Mr G
