Following a comment from Susie, I simplified Jane Eborall's pattern ever so slightly by using two shuttles wound CTM with pink thread for the flowers and then doing the green with ball and one shuttle. It doesn't have the touch of green winding through the middle, but it's easier to tat. I did the flower using daisy picots, as I did on the blue one.
So, do you miss the "touch of green"? I hardly notice the difference, and the increased ease is SO worth it.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, absolutely. I just feel a bit as though I 'wimped out' on Jane's pattern! Not used to making any changes to her patterns.
DeleteI think she's mentioned that it is a reasonable change to make on the intatters forum...so never fear! LOTS of us really like the way that turns out and find the extra green and shoelace tricks just an extra hassle.

DeleteInteresting idea! I think it looks very nice.
ReplyDeletethat has come together beautifully.
