We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

Lace Mat: Completed

Finally.

I like how the colours turn out – subtle bits of orange and browns interspersed among the red.

Pattern by Norma Benporath
Tatted using Flora #20

Back on Track

After leaving off this doily for some time (so that I can cool my head), I'm back to tatting it. If you'd seen my earlier post, there was a mis-joint in the middle of the third row and I had to back track. Now it's going forward, and I leave you with this. Can't wait to see it finished. :)

Tat-along: Day 2

I changed the thread after the first round I tatted yesterday because the #50 thread was rather fiddly to handle. Restarted the doily in a Flora #20.
 
The first round is completed, and on to the second. I had originally wanted to work a split ring to jump to the next round but changed my mind as I am going with a solid colour next. Here it is now.

 
More progress update perhaps tomorrow. :)

Tat-along: The Lace Mat

I'm doing this tat-along using Jon's chart of the Norma Benporath pattern, and am only on the first row. You can find the chart on her blog here.
 
Do bear with me for being slow. I quite like what I have done.

 
Tatted using Omega #50 variegated purple

Thanks, Jon, for sharing this with tat-land.

Hope everyone's having a good weekend.
