I've been doing more socks, more crochet doilies and more tatting.
I actually haven't been doing too much because work has been so intense lately. By the time I get home, I literally have no energy to do anything but stare at the wall and crochet. So I've done a lot of crochet. I've now completed 8 crochet doilies in the last 3 weeks. It's been so therapeutic. Before they go, I'll try to get a photo of the whole line-up.
Saturday I got the newest issue of PieceWork magazine and was so thrilled to see a lace issue. There was knitted lace and bobbin lace and, yes, tatted lace.
I just had to try it out.
Sweet.
I messed up on part of it but now that I understand how the pattern works, I'm going to cut it and start fresh. I've never seen anything like this, I think it has such an Audrey Hepburn sort of look to it. Maybe that's just the black and white thing but I do like it.
I meant to post about this earlier - just refer to previous discussion about work - but I wanted to show you the finished product.
Congrats on learning to tat! Everyone new tatter I've come across swears by that Learning to Tat DVD you used. I think that edging would look great attached to a dresser scarf.
