I am tatting a few crosses as gifts. I decided to try the 'Large Cross' pattern by Mary Konior. Will post it when I am done. It is almost done but I may want to add some beads in the next one I tat. Will see how that goes and post them when all are done. If you have noticed, that there are no decorative picots in this pattern. Quite rounded and neat.
Yes that beautiful shuttle is by Ladyshuttlemaker. I have two lovely shuttles from Sherry. The other one is shown here.
The thread is a Japanese brand thread - Coron. I would not recommend it as when the thread unravels, you can see bits of white which the dye did not manage to cover. I must have been thread-deprived when I bought it in a local shop.
This is a beautiful pattern. The thread looks wonderful as I cannot see any of the spots on my laptop!
ReplyDeleteSimple and elegant this will be such a lovely gift!
Fox : )
Lovely shuttle! And the lace that is spilling out of it is lovely too -- too bad the brand isn't quite up to snuff.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness you tat so quickly. Always a pretty new project to show. Great inspiration (eye candy) for more pokey lacers like me!
Very pretty...nice color!
ReplyDeleteIt is very pretty. Too bad about the thread woes.
ReplyDeleteLove the shuttle and the thread is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLovely Shuttle, I don't see anything wrong with the thread, it is a beautiful cross. I hope you show it to us when it is complete.
ReplyDeleteWhat size Coron? And the color looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLast year I bought 120 and 160, in off-white, beige, and white.
Oh, I did not mean the thread was hopeless. The Coron thread is smooth but when the three cord unravels, as it sometimes do when unpicking, you can see white areas which the dye did not colour. It is not obvious. I did notice this in some Lizbeth threads also.
ReplyDeleteHJ, the thread size here is Size 20. I can imagine 120 and 160 is really thin.
