Mystery Doily Round 4
Completed Round 4 of the Mystery Doily. I pressed the doily a bit before taking the photo so the rippling of Round 3 is not so visible. I think a bit of blocking and stiffening may solve that issue.
But, the ending of this round was not without a mistake, as you can see below.
I did not feel like opening up six tiny rings just to correct it. Since there are only four double stitches in the ring to reach the picot, I can easily sew the picots together, when I sew in the thread ends.
Two more rounds to go. I am really enjoying tatting this and seeing the end result. I like that there are no free picots in the design, except for the decorative part in the final round.
That is looking very good Jon.
ReplyDeleteLooks amazing, Jon!
ReplyDeleteIt looks fantastic! I am seriously impressed by how you've managed to make a pattern with solid areas around in the later rounds ^_^
ReplyDeleteIt's looking really good - I'm wondering how big it will be when it's finished! I think you made the right choice, when you decided to stick with white; it's a design which shows up best in one colour.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful doily! A small error changes it nothing, it's really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's looking very impressive!
ReplyDeletelove watching the progress of this doily. By the way, I am really enjoying tatting the motifs from your book...
ReplyDeleteComplimenti molto carino...

This one came out very thick and takes on a different look, I like the holes in the center it leaves, than other doily's! What fun to look at. You did a great job, I to gravitate to the no picot look mostly, when I tat too!
ReplyDeleteLovely design, it is really special without free picots.
ReplyDeleteThis is turning out really beautiful Jon. I like that it is different and much more "full" as a design (not so many empty spaces, or tiny ones) which looks like it means lots of tiny ring tatting! Look forward to seeing what comes next.
ReplyDeleteSo very beautiful!!! :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful!
ReplyDeletep.s. I love the new clean look of your blog and the photo too. You are such an inspiration!

Its looking amazing - and like a lot of work. It's so dense, from a distance it's almost like crochet.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and very intricate work. I admire.
ReplyDeleteWow. This is so lovely! I hope you will put up a photo to show us when you've blocked it. Thank you fo sharing about the mistake - I am always making mistakes in my tatting, as I'm quite new to it, so it's nice to know I'm not the only one.
ReplyDeletei'm watching the progress of this doily
