Under An African Sky Doily Challenge Update 1


It has been a week since we started. This is my progress so far besides the 1st round of the trees and experimenting with the animals. Tatted in Lizbeth 20 Falling Leaves #100 (sun) and Carribean #122 (sky).

 Another tip for the interlocking rings, After completing the last ring, I find that it is important to anchor your threads to the base of your first ring before tying a knot to finish.

 If I missed your name, please drop me a comment or e-mail.

 Also wanted to show you what Carollyn has tatted. I think it is a lovely piece.

    Your link for Carollyn's doily is missing the "t" in the beginning of the web address.

    It is looking very good! Unusual colours.

    Am flummoxed by the interlocking rings though I gave it an honest attempt. It looked awful...So, rushing along... We’ll see what eventuates!

    Very colorful! And nice to see so many participants. I did marvel at Carollyn's stunning Sunset version when she completed it!

    As you saw on my blog I got half way through the second round . Oh but I noticed right after I posted that on my blog and I made a mistake 😧
    I missed a ring , I was tatting only two steps instead of three. So I am going to redo it this weekend. I found the interlocking rings very easy after I got the hang of the loop before and after the scmr. Round 2 is very very easy. I will post on Tuesday. My granddaughters have a four day weekend
    And it doesn't leave me much free time.
