Motif 49

I worked this one in size 40 thread. The lilac is Olympus, the green and white are Coats. It measures 16 cm across. It's quite a tricky pattern, worked in one pass, apart from the outer green chain. Having done the earlier motifs in this section definitely helped! I blocked it before I did the outer chain and decided that the 2 ds between 'arms' on the pattern just wasn't going to work. I increased it to 5 ds, and am glad I did. I think the bare threads look fine if they're the correct length, as they are in this one. Here's a picture of all the motifs I've tatted in the third section of the Tatted Artistry of Teiko Fujito:

  7. Simply Superb !!! I think I like this one the best of the 4 (again reminded of dancing peacocks), though each of the 4 are very tempting to try out.
    Thanks for the combo pic :-)
