If you love tatted lace, jewellery, plants and anything handcrafted, come back often.
I will regularly post items that are made by me, plants that I grow and interesting things that I photograph.

Hope MK#8
This one is called Hope on pg 92 of Tatting with Visual Patterns by Mary Konior. I used Lizbeth Jewel size 40 and I think the pattern did not show up well in these colours. It should have been done in one solid colour. Shall I do one in solid black? Because it is in size 40 threads, this motif only measures about 1.5 inches across. Mary did it in Size 20 and it was 2.25 inches across.
I love this little motif! I didn't care for it in multi-colored thread the first time I made it either. The solid does shoe the pattern off much better. However, Jewel is a very pretty colorway!

ReplyDeleteThis thread is certainly brightly colored. Truly matches its name.
