Lucky for me, this time I had enough of Krystledawn's new HDT on the shuttles to finish the motif, which is much larger than I thought it would be.The finished piece is over four and a half inches across. I seriously fretted towards the end...
But, no worries!
The pattern is The Second Day of December from Lene Bjørn's 24 Snowflakes in Tatting. I used green and silver beads that appear all silver when tatted. This was very satisfying to tat, perhaps because of the larger dimensions.
The green and teal tones in the thread are beautiful. I have not used a lot of green and I would order this colour again, but not this kind of thread! This was a test run for the good Doctor, as she was perfecting her bubbling experiments and this happens to be a soft - maybe #20 Cébélia, which was brutal to un-tat;: it kept splitting. But, the colour...Yum!
The good Doctor had warned us about this; I am just giving you an update! Her colour rocks!
As usual, it took me hours to figure out the directions and I tatted the whole thing backwards - but how would anyone but me know that! Oh, I do so love dyslexia!
