Seems I am on track with the “going with my gut,” decisions
So far I have completed about half the border for the hankie, in just a few days, as opposed to months that the hedgehog was taking to tat.

Being very pleased with the thread, I have contacted Lea to buy 2 more skeins - both in #50 - that I used for the previous hankie and enjoyed immensely. Perhaps I will tat with slightly thicker thread for the next few projects.
On a Russian site, or maybe it was on Pinterest, about six months ago or more, I downloaded a pattern which looks suspiciously like a Jan Stawasz design sporting all those familiar fuzzy, incomplete ds numbers throughout!
However, I like the design and have filled in the numbers according to my understanding and after a few false starts I think I can proceed:
It is only two rows, not very big, but I suspected I run short of Karey’s #40 HDT. I have no #40 white, but I do have DMC #60.
Its a bit tricky because there is a difference, obviously, in the size of the stitches, but I think it is going to be fine. I do like the white with this colourway.
Very beautiful edging!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat looking new project!!! :)
Love both your colorways!!! :)
Yes, very nice combination of colours. Your edging progress makes me think of reading - a good book is devoured in no time, a less good book goes on and on!
ReplyDeleteYour edging is looking wonderful! I'm so looking forward to smaller projects.
ReplyDeleteI love your work the hankie edging is fabulous and the little doily too! Wonderful choice of colors, You are really good at that. I did same thing and downloaded a pattern that looked like the J.S. and I checked in my books and it was, silly me, had the pattern already :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteBoth look great. I love the color of Karey's thread, and it matches your shuttle so nicely. Love the shuttle!
ReplyDeleteBoth a beautiful! Love the contrast of the variegated thread with white.
ReplyDeleteYour hanky edging is looking beautiful and you are making great speed with it,
ReplyDeleteI do like using white with variegated thread it does seem to bring out the colours of the thread.
