Norma Benporath Exquisite Lace Mat - Rd 2 & 3
Completed Rounds 2 & 3 of the lace mat. Round 2 was quite a straight forward round of rings & chains. Round 3 was also easy but rather lengthy because of the individual clovers, all 20 of them.
For the clovers, I started each one by tatting over tails which only leaves me with one end to hide which I sewed in. That saves half of my time spent on hiding ends.
For the next step, I started with Round 5 instead of Round 4. Round 5 is again made up of individual 5-rings motif. Reading the pattern, I find it easier to do Round 5 first, then go back for Round 4. Photos of this part will be in the next update on this project.
Beautiful!! :)
ReplyDeletePretty. But fiddly!
ReplyDeleteYou’re doing the same thing I’m doing!
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking it would be so much easier if you count make the tan row and the green clover row as one row of 2 colors. The clovers would not sit right. oh well just thinking here.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure what you mean Pam.
DeleteThe tan rows are chains that are holding the yellow clovers. To do the green clovers together I would need to introduce additional chains to support them which are not there currently.
I am keeping to the patterns as it is, though I have strayed slightly from the sequence of the instructions.
Looking beautiful I am enjoying seeing your progress
