Vinnie's Spring Doily 2 - aka Motif 11

-
Vinnie put a call out for people to test tat her new pattern. Nothing like a challenge and something completely new to tat!! Plus that nice feeling of being in the first few to give it a go......

If you haven't been to Vinnie's blog (http://vinniestattings.blogspot.com/) get over there now. Her work is gorgeous and there is always something there worth looking at.

So here is my version. MOTIF 11




What a sweet pattern!! Vinnie you have done so well. It was such an honour that you shared it with us.

Can't wait to see more of your patterns. Thank you for the opportunity to give it a try. It was fun.

Thread is Lizbeth 40 Vineyard Harvest.

    Lovely. I am so jealous. I began this and threw my hands, shuttle and all, up in despair! I just could not figure out the directions!

Belinda Spence put up a challenge in the facebook group Tatting the Australian Way. https://www.facebook.com/groups/847655165276159/ It was a free pattern and anyone could participate. Well....it LOOKED easy enough. But it actually has a more than usual level of concentration required, as we pretty much all found out! First attempt and I made the rookie mistake of thinking it was a rock along easy pattern so I used Alenalea Rako HDT...... and suffered the consequences. After attempt number 1.... after cutting out a repeat of the pattern because I joined in the wrong place (twice),I ended up untatting 9 rings in an attempt to not run out of thread. THIS is what I had left! This was the result of the first attempt. Really love Lea's HDT. Withstands unpicking beautifully and always feels great to tat with. So I decided to try it again..... This time with Altin Basak 50 in red and Butterfly gold thread Version 3 was a breeze. A couple of small unpicks and swearing at the fraying L

This one might not count cos it is not strictly a stand alone motif. But it was so cute I just had to see if it would slip on in there!!! This is the centre of the larger project I have just started. MOTIF 8 The pattern was designed by Lene Bjorn and was found in Orkis Bladet - the magazine of the Danish Tatting Association (Dansk Orkisforening). However there is some controversy surrounding this one. It is also in Lyn Morton's book Tatting Patterns......either way it is a lovely motif! The thread is Garden Afternoon by Yarnplayer. Size 20. Given to me by my best mate Dantatter.
