Lagging

 

One way and another, last week was rather hectic, so I didn't get a chance to start round 16 until yesterday. I thought I might do a double 'batch' and catch up, but no, it's too complicated and time consuming for that. So I'm going to aim for five repeats a day and then try to catch up on a simpler round. 

Changing Tack

 

My plan was to tat earrings for a market on Saturday. Beaded crochet rope doesn't really lend itself to the making of earrings, but I'm told they should be good sellers at a market, so I thought I'd try tatted earrings and see what happened. Mmm. I got an urgent order for masks. Obviously a definite order that is going to be promptly paid for must take precedence over speculative market items! Whether I'll get time to make a few before Saturday remains to be seen, but the masks are done and have been delivered. 

Round 15 is done

 

For the record, I've finished round 15 of the Spring doily on schedule and am all ready for round 16 when it comes out tomorrow. 

Working On Round 15

 

Round 15 is the same as round 14. Worked in one colour, they combine to interesting effect. So far I've been working my quota, 5 repeats a day. 

Ready

 Round 15 of the Spring doily has been released already, I'm all set to begin. Nothing to see there, so here's a couple of pictures of young doves in one of Jack's banana trees:

The Blog As Record

 Jack said that my sheets hanging on the line were a bit see-through. So I looked up on my blog to see when I made them. Here's the entry here. It's dated January 2013, so no wonder the sheets are getting a little thin! The other two pairs were made two years later, as I can also see from my blog.   Years ago, Black Rose sheets used to proclaim in large letters across the packaging that they were guaranteed for ten years. I've often wondered what would happen if you went back after eight years and demanded your money back! Mine have no such guarantee, but I think they could well hold out for ten years. 

On Track

 

I did a lot of tatting on Thursday and none at all on Saturday, but overall I'm on track to finish round 14 before the next round comes out.
