I had to use the scissors twice on the next bit as the curves
were not co-operating well.
It looks wonky but I think will
lie flat when done:
I also finished this one - one of my faves...
Mary Konior's Posie:
I think you ll believe a exaggerate when complaining about Lizbeth,
but honestly, I have SO MUCH trouble with it:
This happened at the last join of a row - of course it did...
Splitting terribly in #40.
Maybe #20 is better and I think most tatters prefer that one. Or #80.
Perhaps I should be using another size. I never learn.
Grrrr.
Someone has been having a lovely lie-in...
Your doily is looking wonderful!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI think I remember having the same issues and it's hard to keep the chains smooth and relaxed!!! But I believe when the outer part is done is lays better. :)
Your motif is pretty!! :)
I have troubles with my Lizbeth too, but it's the best thread I have used so I just keep on going. I hope it gets better for you!! Oh, and size 40 is my preference, I think I am the odd one.
I have definitely found 40 to be the splittiest! - you're quite right, 20 and 80 are better. Gorgeous colour, even so.My favourite has always been 30.
ReplyDeleteI love that top one!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter and I are doing a doily together, same thread. It breaks for her when closing a ring but not for me ( if I tatted it, if she tats it, i can't close it either). We're going to do a comparison study of the same motif to see if her work is smaller.
I've never used Lizbeth, I just admire their wonderful colours, like yours here.
ReplyDeleteThese are very pretty, Fox! Love the pic of the Mr! :)
ReplyDeleteLovely motifs!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work I think you got a bad batch and they should replace them but some how I don't think they will tat those beautiful motifs again for you.
