Hanky Edging #6 - WIP


This is the hanky from Gina. I went through my thread stash and found this variegated pink (Coats Size 40 Col. 884) which was the right shade that matched the colour of the rose. I adapted the Lace No. 8 pattern from Kirstine Nikolajsen and Inge Lise Nikolajsen's 'Tatted Handkerchiefs' book to fit this hanky with the scallops. It seems to be frilling up but it may straighten out after blocking. Even if not, I think I like the frills. This is also a two-rows edging pattern. No, I have not finished edging #5. Perhaps in a few days time I will start edging #7.

    Oh, I like! This is pretty = with or without the frill.

    It looks like the thread matches perfectly! I wondered how an edging could be added to a scalloped edge like this. Looks like you found something that works!

    Ooh, what you are tatting for this handkerchief edging is of great interest to me. I have a handkerchief with a small scalloped edging (given to me by LLL Diane) for which I still don't know what to tat.

    Your colors are a lovely match and the frills, if they don't straighten out, will add to the romance of the rose embroidery. You can't go wrong.

    Oh, that variegated pink/red thread is just perfect! It looks wonderful on that hanky - and the edging looks nice and lacy. Very nice!

    ...perfect color of the thread that you have chosen for the hankie! I am waiting for the Tat Days, to bring my hankie with and find thread for it from a vender.

    Your edging is pretty!

    Very pretty. You remind me that I have an unfinished hanky awaiting my attention, too.

    The thread matches perfectly. And the frilly look of the edging is very cute.
