Firstly
before I forget, I have edited a few images showing the patterns from Vrinda’s squares. The notation was opposite to the working order. I’m aghast at my
clumsiness; I guess the viral effect had not worn off :-( So please check out
the revised directions when you plan on making them.
As
I indicated in the previous post, I’ve started making these 3x3cms squares from
the patterns sent in to Tat a Brussels
Worked
in size 40, cream. So far, they are not all the same size and I may have to add
an outer chain round to a few. I’ve made a couple more, but no pics yet.
I
need to start joining the new squares to these as I go. But that will not give
me enough leeway to play with arrangement. So perhaps I will hold off and make
a thin insertion. Sound good?
Besides
Vrinda’s squares (some are repeated), I now have Frivolé’s Reverse Quatrain ...
I
started with an outer ring, throwing off the central ring with a mock picot
between, and then continuing around. If we start the outer ring as a SCMR, then
we can work the whole medallion with a ball and shuttle.
Frivolé also experimented without the central ring.
I
tried one of the large rings as a mock ring but I liked the shape of the true
ring better. Of course, the mock ring or chain option again allows us to work
off a ball with single shuttle.
I
enjoy working little patterns – quickly worked and can be used in numerous
ways!
Since these pics were taken, I've worked a couple more from other patterns, but now I will share only when I have made substantial headway. I am using this project as a final hour for that end-of-a-busy day.
Tomorrow I have something exciting to show you .... so don't go far ;-P
Wishing
you happy hours of tatting always
and
many thanks to the designers for sharing their beautiful patterns :-)
