Round 13 is a little daunting at first glance - that's a lot of tatting to do in a week. I counted the number of flower repeats on Renulek's photo; there are 32. So if I tat five repeats a day, plus two on the last day, I'll be there. Right. That sounds manageable. I've reached the target for Thursday and Friday - so far, so good.
I usually just work from my iPad screen or draw myself a little sketch with the stitch count, but this row is complicated, with a lot of different numbers, so I printed it out. Still, it's straight forward enough and after a few repeats I had grasped those numbers.
Oh, dear! I think you're way ahead of me! Maybe I'd better spend some time catching up today!
ReplyDeleteYou are doing awesome and it looks awesome already!!! :)
ReplyDeleteIt certainly seems achievable when broken down! Small goals... ๐๐
ReplyDeleteLike you, I rarely print out anything now. Tablet screen and hand-sketched motifs work well.
I need to catch up too. Do you switch shuttles and if so where?
ReplyDeleteYes. After the flower part, for the chains that join to the previous round and the two small in-between rings.
DeleteGreat, that's where I thought, now back to tatting.
DeleteInteresting row! I think with enough practice it becomes a lot easier.
ReplyDeleteGosh it's beautiful, I think you are doing great. I don't think I could every master something as delicate.
ReplyDeleteI am also tatting round 13. It goes faster than I thought. Probably thanks to the small rings between the flowers.
ReplyDeleteYou're very fast, both in tatting and in sewing! Beautiful doily!
