Those long chains... I don't find them amusing! Thank goodness this is the final row. Tatted in #40, this is not a large motif:
Funnily enough, those books behind MrG's head are my T.A.T. Binders!
This is his about-to-bolt face. I was trying to get a decent photo. Right.
There are a lot of chains. It's very pretty though.
ReplyDeleteMotyw nie jest duży ale za to uroczy :)
ReplyDeleteYour doily is looking fabulous!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, poor Mr. G! That face just made me literally LOL! hee hee hee hee . . . :D
ReplyDeleteThat is some pretty thread and I do really like this motif. And, as always . . . you've chosen the perfect shuttle with which to tat it!
this color is grand and I think the chains are pretty but I can see where they are a struggle, you should have not said anything at all and we all would have though you are perfect :)
ReplyDeleteYou've done a great job with all those chains! Do you find it's hard to get them at the correct tension. Mine always seem a bit wonky. I know... practice, practice, practice!
ReplyDeleteIf there is a trick to keeping the chains smooth, I've never learned it!
DeleteHa ha - Mr. G looks about as thrilled with being a photographic subject as Ms. Ruby does! Love the motif - but I think it's so hard to get chains like that consistent. Looks great!
ReplyDeleteIt makes me wonder what size thread Mary Konior used - it's not a particularly large mat even in size 20 thread. In size 80, it's not even big enough to use as a coaster under a glass of tea. :)
ReplyDeleteYours is very pretty, regardless of size.

Thank you! In her books, don't most of the patterns call for #20 or #30?
DeleteSo pretty!
