This is the best that I can do for this pattern of Ms Benporath's,
A Dainty Guest Towel in Tatting. I am quite happy with the small square insertion and the edging but struggled a bit with the large square. After tatting a second time, the large square still did not turn out quite the way I was hoping it would, it showed some bowling.

| Round 1 of large square insertion makes a pretty motif on its own. |
The chart for these will be too small for you to see if I were to post it here. Instead I have prepared a pdf of the chart. Please e-mail me if you would like a copy. I am not always online, so I may only be able to e-mail it to you a day later.
I think you're doing a wonderful job of interpreting Norma's patterns! I'm certain that it's very time consuming, so I really appreciate all of your efforts.
ReplyDeleteThank you Diane. I don't think I will grow tired of Norma Benporath's patterns, but the ones with large rings in them are being pushed aside for now.
DeleteThose look really nice!! :)
ReplyDeleteYes indeed - I would like to add my thanks for your hard work in saving all these patterns for us. Unfortunately I can't see the insertons, because the site says that the bandwidth has been exceeded! - so will try again another day.
ReplyDeleteI have finally begun my Lace Mat - only had to unpick once in the first round! - but that's pretty good going for me.......
You ha e done a wonderful job and it must take you ages to do it, I really appreciate all the hard work you have put in for us tatters.
ReplyDeleteI think that large motif could be used as a snowflake.

I think the first round of the large motif can also be turned into a snowflake by adding two more repeats. Thanks for the idea.
