Round One
It does lie flat, hooray. The bare threads could've been a bit shorter, but I'm pretty happy with it. I thought I was going to have to join in more multicolour thread, but no, I made it with 12 cm thread left on the shuttle!
That's the only word I can think of to describe it as well - pretty - it's really pretty! I don't really like patterns with bare threads, but this one is going to be so lovely that I wil just enjoy it.
I love this pattern you did a great job and is one of the most interesting to make I too feel she could have given some sort of measurement for the bare thread instead of making us guess but I too will make this again someday :)
Lovely tatting and design. You could work the bare thread to be part of the design. What I am thinking is, block the piece and shape the bare into curves, alternating up and down. If you stiffen them a bit, the bare thread portion should hold their respective shapes.
Gorgeous ! Love the soft colourway & the white perks things up. Beautiful :-)
ReplyDeleteOoh! That's pretty!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's stunning!
ReplyDeleteThat's so pretty Jane, the threads look very delicate. What is the thread please? Thanks for showing.

The multicolour thread is Milford ombre pastel; the white is Anchor Artiste and the 'dusty pink' is Cebelia that I dyed myself. All size 20.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty!!!!!! :) I like how the bare threads add a little motion to it!!! :)
ReplyDeletePretty pretty motif, lovely color and interesting pattern.

Good thinking. I'll finish and then try it, thanks.
