Not A Favourite

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.

Nobody Noticed!

.....and it was a beaut! 

I really messed up on the Posy pattern and couldn't figure out where the problem was. Blame it on the splitting thread at the end. Obviously, I can't multi-task with an end-join plus faulty thread!

At any rate, I tatted a new one and you can definitely see the difference:

Some progress on the other Konior piece:

    

By the way, I noticed that the quality of the green #40 Lizbeth is much superior to the magenta.  

It is obviously due to the dyeing process of the magenta that makes it so awful. I seem to recall that 

the purple threads with the red base are a lot worse  than the ones with the blue. 

Also, I remember navy being particularly bad - which makes no sense in light of what I just wrote! 

Confounding Curves

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...

Can You Guess?

This pattern can get messed up 

if you do not pay attention.
