In Spite of the Standstill

The muse is en vacance, but I have finished the Jan Stawasz doily regardless and like it a lot. That last row took a long time.

His patterns always amaze me in their complexity; they look so straightforward till you are lulled into complete complacency and then: wham! Out come the scissors!

This is tatted in Lizbeth- no problems this time - #80, and measures 8" across. It would be a good size tatted on a thicker thread.

  1. Lovely, Fox! It almost looks like it's actually swirling! Lots of "movement" in that blue/green color way!

  2. You are so right about Jan's patterns. they do pull you in with their beauty but the stitch counts seem to have a rhythm I have a hard time learning.

  4. It's beautiful, Fox! I totally agree with you about JS designs. I still don't completely understand his notation, but I am always pleased with the results.
