This is done. The last round seems a little short and looks pulled. It reminds me of a dinner plate because of the colour change. Picotsnkeys asked if I was going to do another colour change - but I did not. Kathy, the centre is not difficult as long as you have a picot gauge.
Tatted in Lizbeth Size 40 in Col. 641 Lilac dark and Col. 646 Purple iris light. The pattern is from page 71 of Lee Hye-oon's book Lovely Tatting Doilies for Spring and Summer.
Now I can concentrate on tatting Renulek's WIOSNA 2018.
Beautiful. I think it must’ve been tricky to tat, you did a good job.
ReplyDeleteVery, very beautiful!!! :)
ReplyDeleteGoodness, that's absolutely lovely! Weird about that outer ring being so tight, still lovely though.
ReplyDeleteYour doily is beautiful, I do believe that people have different tension when tatting and then writing up directions.
ReplyDeleteBy closely looking at your work, I found that the very small picots(-) you made throughout the work seem a little bigger than mine. The accumulated length seemed to make the last round short and pulled. However, your overall work is so good and I appreciate your tatting many of my patterns and sharing them with your community.
ReplyDeleteThank you,
Hye-oon
It really does look like a lovely dinner plate. I really wouldn't have noticed the tightness of the outer round. A beautiful rendition of Hye-oon Lee's design. I admit I have never used a picot gauge!
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your lovely comments. I agree with Hye-oon's observations. If my picots were smaller, the design would look more pronounced and the circumference would be smaller. Do try this pattern. It was so rewarding to tat.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful piece of tatting and what lovely comments from her
