lighter than a feather

Pin It now!

My tada moment is a bit clouded….

I love how light this 3-round doily is in size 80; I love the design; I love the colours; I loved tatting it; and I even love how neat my stitches are. But it did not come out as I’d visualized it. The rounds appear distinct, not flowing gradually into one another.

This is Daniela Mendola’s Tatting Sharing Rewind Version 2

Tatted with Lizbeth size 80 threads.

Round 1 – 2 shuttles : Tropical Punch (132) in Sh1 and Leafy Green (138) in Sh2.

I’ve already shared my experience here, along with Round 1 notes here, including where to start if one wants to climb out to next round.

The round moves clockwise. 

It is 4cms in diameter.

Round 2 - Ball and shuttle, ctm. Azalea lt (629).

This simple rings and chains round moves counterclockwise.
Now this is where I should have used Tropical Punch for the chains, so that it leads better into the next colourway. Oh well, learn as you go.

8 cms in diameter.

Round 3 – 2 shuttles, ctm : Falling Leaves (100).

Starting with the inner ring, I moved counterclockwise, with chains and thrown ring tatted backside.

10 cms in diameter.

Any ideas how I can use this? Did I tell you how light this is?!!! Oh well, you already know – It is I who am late to this experience. Even a size 40 seems heavy now.

Waiting eagerly for a group photo of all her Tatting Sharing doily versions....

Many thanks, Daniela, for such a wonderful collection of patterns.

And to my secret donor !
