I have row 13 of Renulek's 2021 Spring Doily done
and this will be my doily as it is. ;)
I finished this row this morning. Now to spend time
sewing in ends and blocking it.
Last week I was inspired by a bracelet front(focal
piece) that I have had for some time(I have a bag of
all different styles and designs waiting for tatted bands.
Since it looks almost like diamond shapes I found Ninetta's
beautiful diamond bugle bead bracelet design and tried it.
Now I am trying to find a decent way to join the tatting
and the bracelet front to each other.
Oh, I used size 40 Lizbeth Rainbow Splash and changed
the stitch count a bit(Ninetta
used size 20 thread, pattern here:
https://ninettacaruso.blogspot.com/2016/12/diamond-shaped.html )
And, being inspired by those bugle bead diamonds
I emptied the shuttles with this cute design.
I tatted the diamonds and then tatted the outer row.
It's terribly fiddly, but pretty. I will try again tatting
the diamonds as rings and the chains coming from them
as a normal ring and chain pattern and see how that
turns out. ;)
Have a fabulous tatting filled week!!! :)
