A Little Merriment...

 Finished the cross that I was tatting this weekend.  This is, again, Mary Konior's Large Cross from her Tatting with Visual Patterns book.  I love this thread, love this pattern, and loved tatting this cross...the perfect thread and pattern make for tatting happiness, that is for sure!
 
 
I also managed to complete a project that I had set aside and not finished some months ago, all that was left was 2 chains and 4 rings...but I set it aside.  This photo does not do Jess!'s beautiful thread justice.  The lavender and blue colors in this thread are gorgeous.  The pattern is Jon's Merriment Doily.  It is a beautifully designed pattern...lays perfectly without any need for pressing.  I did press this a bit, but I don't think it made any difference really...it was perfect straight off the shuttles...a true mark of a well designed pattern. (21/25 motif challenge)
 
 
Another pattern, but this same thread from Jess! is calling my name...so I am off to play for a bit and drink a cup of Chai tea before my pillow calls instead...

    1. Thank you...the gorgeousness is a credit to the designer. It is a very nice pattern, all of Jon's are of course...but it's a nice tat.

    1. Thank you! I, too, never have time for all that I see that I want to tat...not enough hours in the day had I all of them in which to tat!
