Blogger is refusing to update our blog feed so I can't say how many in blogland will be able to see this post. But let's focus on the beauty that has been pouring in, requiring a 4th roundup post, soon, after which I will make the patterns public! Relevant links at the end of this post. As usual, the order of presentation follows the chronology of who started the design-along DAL 2026 Challenge first.
There's a lot happening like when I woke up this morning there were 3 new participants along with a couple of patterns from earlier participants waiting for me!!! Oh, what fun!
And you might recognise the individual motifs in the lovely mat below? This is Linda Mazerat's Arborea, made by joining 9 of her motifs! She received lots of accolades and requests for the pattern. I have been working on the English presentation and should be able to upload it soon.
Donna McDade - is back with the rest of her motifs!!! Some of them were sent at 4-30 in the morning - does she ever sleep?
Version 5 - has a 3-D center and a chains-only outer round!
(pattern ready)
Version 6 - has a nice colour-play and another chains-only round!
(pattern received)
Version 7 - Donna felt this was a very simple round with only a split ring braid. But I like the shape that emerged and the potential to add more if picots are added.
(pattern ready)
Version 8 - Now isn't this just too cute with a great shape?
(pattern received)
16. Jon Yusoff (Tat-a-Renda) - True to her designing prowess, Jon designed a single round covering a large space, seamlessly moving in and out!
(pattern ready)
Her first attempt was the one on the left which is also pretty, don't you think? She worked the 2nd version in variegated thread which she felt masked the design. Hence the final model in pink.
17. Sara Dougan - This is Sara's very first attempt at designing! The picot flowers really perk up the scroll.
(pattern ready)
18. Paola Bevilacqua - has given staunch competition to
Ninetta's model by designing 8 rounds! She also added a bit of dimensionality with curled rings.
(pattern ready)
As you can see, most patterns are already completed in PDF form with inked images as well as short notation text. A few have diagrams. The previous two roundup posts are also being updated as and when the pattern is ready. My aim is to release the document by the end of this week, after the 4th roundup.
Many many thanks to all participants ranging from budding to experienced designers, playing with such enthusiasm and determination!
