Edged Hanky 2012 - 3



This is finally done. I think this is the first time I used a Size 60 for an edging. The lace is very dainty and quite difficult to block. I was not too conscientious about it so the lace isn't well shaped. Also I made my own adjustments for the corners and realized that the chains should be a little longer.

This pattern is Edging #2 from Janet Caroll's book Elegant Tatting Patterns. It is tatted in two rounds and I completed the tatting before attaching it to the hanky. That was not fun to do.
