Round 4

 I started round 4 using one shuttle and ball, but that just wouldn't do. The third ring of the 'trilogy'  stuck up horribly. I'll show you. The photo is a bit shadowy because I took it in the evening before cutting those repeats off and starting again with two shuttles.

  1. Perhaps a vsp join between the chains and the 'sticky up' ring would help?

    1. I think the next row will hold it in place, but I didn't want to give it too much work to do!

  2. I have also switched to using two shuttles for that very reason. The difference is amazing! I really like the colors you've chosen.

  3. I don't like using shuttle and ball, two shuttles always turns out flatter and no worries, most people like to avoid it cause of hiding ends and winding, I guess it's to "each her own"

    1. I was amazed to see on In Tatters how many people said they always use 2 shuttles. Perhaps I need to pay more attention!

  4. I am sure when you do the next row they should stay down, I have taken to using two shuttles now, I find it's working out better, we are all different in our preferences

  5. Love how your doily is shaping up, Jane :-)

    This round was the toughest for me ! And, I, too, used shuttle & ball. BIG mistake ! At each 'junction' I tried something different to get that ring to lay flat, but it didn't always work. Luckily, the next round remedied the floppiness. But lesson learned - use 2 shuttles :-)
