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.

Evangeline Doily Aborted
This is the second time tatting the last round. The first time, I misread the pattern. I cut that off. The second time tatting the last round and at the last repeat, I realised I had been carrying a mistake from the very first round. It should be an even number of 24 picots in the first round. I did 25 and it did not matter until now. Cannot ignore the mistake as it affects the subsequent rounds. Therefore, it ends here. I may start another Evangeline but maybe not now. Sigh . . . . . .
Looks fine! I'm amazed you got 25 loops in the center! It seems you could add another round of your own design; but it still looks just fine this way! It's quite a hypnotic design!
I know the feeling. I did the same on this year’s Renulek doily. But this looks lovely as is, so that’s good.
ReplyDeleteOh how heartbreaking!! It is very beautiful as it is!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a pity, have a look in her blog, there was a note about a doily. There's a link on my blog list of the blogs I follow
ReplyDeleteOh, what a shame. I love it like it is, though. Hope you do make another and finish it too.
ReplyDeleteOuch, such a pity the extra picot is causing problems for you. It is definitely beautiful as it is right now too!
ReplyDeleteFabulous doily
