It's Windy Outside - Let's Fly Kites
Ruth said it is usually windy in the month of March, and asked for some kites for the calendar.
I have made mine. The pattern is in the Tatting Pattern Calendar for March 16th.
Besides that I am still working on the edging and the blue doily. The edging (for a tablecloth) turned out to be not so smooth-sailing as I had hoped. Like I said earlier, I only wanted the corners so I modified the pattern a bit (taken from the Priscilla Tatting Book 2). I had to undo one of the rows a couple of times because of some miscalculation at the start of the row. I think it is going to work now, I only have one more row to finish the first of the corners.

Ah...that's lovely...our very own wau bulan :)
ReplyDeleteJon, I absolutely love your kite and the story behind it for your homeland. I hope to make it as soon as I finish this round on the doily. Thank you so much for all you have shared with me and taught me.
