Slow Off The Starting Blocks

 

Renulek's Spring Doily 2025 started while I was away, so I had some catching up to do. I'm now half way through round 3, so I should be ready by the time round 4 comes out on Thursday. 

This is the thread I'm using. I had planned to use some ecru thread that I was given recently, but it's size 20. I'd rather use size 40, so I was happy to find this thread in my stash. 

I'm not committing to tatting the whole doily. I might do as I did last year and finish early. I'll continue until it's big enough for me, or I run out of time or thread.
