Another oval!

-

One more oval for the collection.

Two great things about this pattern.
First - it is a really easy one to follow. By the lovely Lis Christiansen from the Danish Tatting Association.

Secondly - the gorgeous hand dyed threads by Alenalea Rako. She sells her thread through her Etsy shop. https://www.etsy.com/au/shop/AlenAleaDesign

Beautiful threads right here in Melbourne!





I can honestly say I really enjoyed tatting this one!!

Thread is AlenAleaDesigns size 40 Crocus (Variegated) and Violet

Special thanks to Belinda Spence for helping me with my color coordination issues!!

    That's sooooo pretty. Just for your information - I met Lis Christiansen at the Fringe Element weekend. Wasn't I the lucky one? I love the colours you've used too.

      You are the lucky one. I have done a few of her doilies now. They have all been good. I hope you had a great time!

    This is a lovely piece of work, enjoyable to see, and will check out the thread. Makes one want to tat it! What size is the thread and doily?

    It's a beautiful doily! Where can I find the pattern? I love Alenalea's threads, and she ships to the U.S.!

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 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

Motif 8??

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.
