Pattern for the Poinsettia is ready!
My life has been quite scattered this entire month. Hence
my disappearing acts ;-P
I do try to follow along, but leaving comments has been
stymied due to erratic server on my desktop. Even this pattern and it’s
conversion to pdf has been through a circuitous route through multiple devices.
But I’d promised Carollyn! And the silver lining is that I learned something
new!
This enclosed space medallion is constituted of inward
facing clovers connected with chains and thrown/floating rings.
All beads are pre-strung and moved along the picot thread
(not the core thread) – Nina Libin calls them “up’ beads.
In case of any doubts or questions, feel free to leave a
comment or email me.
I hope you enjoy tatting this as much as I did.
UPDATE (Nov 3, 2017): Check how Carollyn adapted the pattern into lovely earrings using
size 80 thread !!! I was thrilled to see them and the
model too :-)
Meanwhile, I’ve been spending time joining the clover
wreath medallions into mats. One coaster is complete & I have sketched a
tentative edging for it. Need to put it to shuttles.
But here’s a peek into a bunting formation – just right
for the holiday season if the colours are changed. Add a ribbon or straight header for hanging. And if one wants triangles, simply join another medallion at the tip.
Here’s wishing I get more good days out of the server
connection than bad ones :-D
My apologies for delays in responding to emails …
happy tatting and hope to stay in touch J
