Corrected and Completed

Well before the deadline in February, 

I finally got through the third attempt, 

or is it the fourth, of this gift. 

From the Dutch publication: De Frivolité(k)ring

Thread: #80 Lizbeth

Beads: 4 different kinds; white are vintage

For Scale

Back To It

I received the Lizbeth I had ordered in pink and gray, #80. So I re-started that pattern from the Dutch publication - De Frivolité(k)ring. No mistakes in the count this time!

The colours are quite different from the Oren Bayan and DMC, which I had initially used, and which I prefer, but the recipient I believe will appreciate the more intense palette. Hope so anyway!

Love the Lizbeth! Amazing to write that after all my thread woes. The #80 is a delight and there are all those colours.... This may bode ill for my thread allowance in the coming year!

Happy! Merry!

#40 Lizbeth

Thanks Sally!

Lovely Lavender

It just fit in the scanner. So, you can get an idea of the size of this. Also, it ruffles around the outside - darn! I could not block it out either... Perhaps the addition of beads on the outside was misdirected. Next time I tat this I will not use beads.

Yes, this motif reminds me of lavender on the red background rather like a plaid - NO, tartan, (thank you, Margaret!) - that you might find on an Edinborough shop!

40 Lizbeth - had just enough- and Krystle's Wisteria Lane
Delica and pearly-translucent beads

Pattern from Il Chiacchierino Vol. 3 

This is not going to be given as planned to the birthday-in-February person. 

Because it reminds me of the lavender plants that the recipient grows in her garden every summer, I thought this motif could find a home under a lavender pot...

p.s.

In a Doctor Who episode - 11th Doctor - someone said something like: 
This is what the British do to cope with stress - drinking tea and.... TATTING!
