design along (DAL)
What
bug have I caught?! And why am I trying to spread it around? But then we are
already 'suffering' from ATS - Addictive Tatting Syndrome, so what’s one more
play-along?!
Recently
I revisited this NeoVintage Heart. I gave the prototype pattern in 2015
– a 2-round continuous pattern. This time I ran out of thread after the 1st
round and it struck me that there are So Many possible designs that can go
around those chains! Since I cannot do them all, here’s a design-along (DAL)
for you. You can choose to create your own outer round, although I have given my 2nd round pattern in the pdf

In Anchor Pearl cotton size 8, it measures around 4cms×4 cms
I’d just like to state one rule : Keep Round 1 essentially the same (although you can add beads, etc.). Design Round 2 or more as you wish. It will be interesting to see the variations.
Kind
of reminds me of this make me pretty please butterfly and the wonderful diversity that flew in!

TIP : Dora Young Join (Knot) is exactly the same as what we now know as Catherine Wheel Join, except that it is made with the same shuttle and no thread is encapsulated. .
And

Sway My Heart. All set to be a pendant on a necklace !!!
