T'is a Bonnie...?


I am having way more luck with this piece than the TAT exercise, for I am STILL lumping along with it.  I just cannot get it right and it has been over a week!

Usually, once I have the stitches and the pattern in my head, I can proceed after one or two trial runs and get the thing done.  This one really has me stumped.  

There is not a problem with type of stitches or the pattern, or even the direction of the tatting.  This is a problem of technique, of my clumbsiness at the task at hand - literally! It is frustrating in the extereme!  

Plus, I  am not used to such a lot of failed attempts -  VERY humbling.

So, I take a lot of little breaks and work on the pink and white.  So far so good!

  2. It looks like a wee, sweet, bonnie bonnet, Fox! If indeed that is what it is - your question mark makes me question the validity of my assertion (been reading the dictionary, I have!). You are being QUITE cagey!

    Don't worry about the TAT - you have tenacity on your side. I have yet to see you give up on something. It doesn't seem to be in your nature. In fact, you seem to savor a challenge and what better tool for success is there than that? Go Fox Go!!!!!

  3. Taking breaks with something more successful is a good thing. It'll all come together and then you'll wonder why it took you so long to figure it out!
