Almost Abandoned
Yes, I almost quit at the round before the 18 fiddly motifs. It was late and joining when I am tired is beyond my comprehension, so I thought I was done with the Morimoto piece as it was.
However, in the light of day, I see I will indeed carry on. But NOT with the last quarter of the ball of #40 Lizbeth, doomed to the bin, as it ranges from a size #40 to #80 and is splitting everywhere.
It is unfortunate that I had to order a new #40 ball of red in order to finish without maiming GIAN, who has reclined his name! ( It iis spelled differently than the offender's anyway! I still call him MrG too. : )
I switched to the green in the meanwhile, in an effort to use up more Lizbeth #40. Strange combo, I know, but I was also getting bored! This piece is going to finish at over 18 inches! It is 15" now.
Also, I had perfect complimentary beads for the green. Just three on the three picot joins, but enough for a tiny twinkle. Makes me happy!

A New Renulek Tat-Along - Wiosna 2015
BEADS! COLOURS! FUN!
This looks like LOTS of fun and is a terrific break
from the restless-making Jan Stawasz stuff.
I am really enjoying this tat. : )
The photo shows the first two rows of the Spring pattern, which were posted Friday.
Umintsuru is tatting this with me. Does anyone else wish to join us?
Renulek’s new tat-along is here.
Can you see the beads?
I’m using what is left of my Karey Solomon HDT, #40, and the rest will be #40 Lizbeth. I don’t have much of it and am trying to use all my #40 up.
This gold thread is WAY better than the red I am using for the Morimoto pattern, which has gotten very thin as I get to the end of the ball and is splitting like crazy.
