The Monsterpiece Doily, Round 4 Almost Complete

I guess this round takes longer than I thought it would. Probably because of all the reverse works that need to be done. The previous rounds had far fewer elements that needed to be RWed after they're done. Of well, it's a nice and easy tat; I could almost go into autopilot while tatting it. Almost.






See? Nice and easy. It's a little wavy, but I'm sure it will flatten out so I'm not worried right now. I should finish it tomorrow, maybe Friday at the latest. And no, I'm not trying to rush still. I'm trying to focus on the doily one round at a time. Looking at photos of completed doilys, what I've tatted is almost insignificant compared to the whole doily, so it's too overwhelming to think about. It will definitely be the largest item I have tatted thus far. Of course, the Windmills Doily could dwarf the Monsterpiece Doily in time since it's a motif based WIP. Thread stats: the thread is Manuela no. 20 colour #a055. Look back at previous posts for the thread stats of the other two colours.

That's it for now. We'll see how it goes. I do have another kinda unrelated project I'm working on as well. I hope to get it finished or mostly finished this weekend. I will reveal more next Friday (I think that's the date I picked). Till next time.

    I like this round it's beautiful! I will tell you, the next with with those motifs,( looking back) still was my hardest round with all I done so far. I could not get the numbers right, and then when I did, I would forget to connect it to the next motif it drove me nuts, and when I finally got the hang of it I was done (if you know what I mean) It still was fun just a surprising brain work out. Writing out pattern like you have been doing really helps. I am curious about this mystery project and we will stay tuned :) keep us posted!

      Thanks Carollyn. I'm actually looking forward to the next round. Hopefully I won't have too many problems. I haven't written that row out yet, but I know it will help. You'll find out what this mystery project is soon!

    I agree, it should lie flat with no problems. I love your colors!

      That's what everyone else has said previously so I'm just going to go with the flow and see what happens. Thanks! I love them too.

    Ohh, coming together nicely. I write every row out. JS patterns have odd rhythm.
