Now, I have decided to use my older daughter's favorite colors and that this will be a Birthday gift for her...and so it must be done when she is not present to watch or it will ruin the suprise. Therefore, this is as far as I will get today as she is now home from school...I am a bit over half way done with the second round.
Since the Lace Mat must be set aside for the evening, I am currently working on this...
This one is one of Jon's own designs...her Merriment Doily. This is really pretty and very enjoyable to work on. I started it back in March with some of the pretty threads from Jess!'s package she sent to me. This is a size 20, I am not sure if it the colorway has a name or not...I can't seem to find it, but it's a gorgeous variaged lavender and blue thread. Somehow or another this little doily never gets finished, constantly set aside when something else comes along. Probably because it has no destination/recipient/purpose as of yet, it's a because I want to tat. I have just 2 1/2 repeats left, we'll see if I can get this one done in the next day or so!
Oh how gorgeous that surprise is looking!!! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd the other is very pretty too!! :)
Thank you!!! :-)
DeleteI love the color you've chosen for the tat-along! I've printed out my copy, so I guess I'd better wind my shuttles and get tatting!
ReplyDeleteThank you...it's a fun tat, can't wait to see what you pick!
Deletevery pretty colors and a very nice start.
ReplyDeleteI like the 2nd doily too.
Thank you on both counts!
DeleteLovely! I am using that colour thread for another of Norma's doily, the current one I am working on.
ReplyDeleteIt's been fun to tat thus far...I realized the thread color was the one you were using on your current doily as I was tatting last night, I wonder if that's why I just sort of grabbed that one. I really started this without really thinking about it, just picked up that thread and began :-)
