Another

The colours are closer in real life than they appear on my computer screen. The butterfly is Mary's Butterfly. I have seen it on Mary's blog,, but used the link from Marja's blogpost  to find the pattern here. I didn't download the pattern properly, because I didn't want to sign up for yet another app or program, Scribd, but I could follow the pattern anyway.

I made a spiral chain this time instead of Victorian sets. I should've reread my own post about Sherry Pence's tips for tatting spiral chains, but no, I didn't, so I did flip the stitches. Oddly, I found that it wasn't the working shuttle I had to let drop to rewind, it was the one forming the stitches. Perhaps that's why direct stitches work better.
