I was tatting the leaf braid and wondered if I could add flowers to the leaves. It took quite a bit of trial and error to work out a stitch count that would result in a straight edging rather than a curved one:
I thought I had it right and even worked out how to turn a corner:
But when I did several repeats, it turned out there was still a bit of a curve:
I had to add the small split ring between the flowers to get it straightened out.
Lovely edging :).
ReplyDeleteI think the little ring adds something extra to it! Great solution!
ReplyDeleteLooks very pretty, Jane ! The small SR actually enhances the entire design - like happy , dancing flowers - or a bead between them :-)
ReplyDeleteIn fact, looking at some of your trial pics with thread ends, gave me an idea .... you could alternate flower with Butterfly or have a butterfly at the corners instead of a flower.
Just a thought ;-))
Yes, I juggled with a butterfly for a while, but then decided that will have to wait for another day.
Deleteso dainty and very cute!
ReplyDeletePretty. And straight!
ReplyDeleteLove it - makes a great edging!
ReplyDeleteSweet edging!!! :)
ReplyDeleteLooking very pretty with the little rings in the middle, I like the way you have done the edging

How clever! I'm not sure I'd have thought of all those steps. It does make a very pretty edging!
