I finished tatting round 9 of the Monsterpiece Doily Saturday, but I guess I got sidetracked yesterday and forgot to blog about it. I was understandably a little nervous as I neared the end of the round. I kinda feared it would not work out again. However, I finished it with no problems.
It looks like nothing happened. It's a little wavy but I think that's less of a problem than cupping and I'm sure it'll flatten out more rounds are added. Thread stats: Manuela no. 20 colour #a055.
I have started tatting round 10. This round begins the scallops, so it's not a full round. Just 10 small half circle shapes. They're each pretty quick to tat, but because each is tatted separate from the others, I have to hide ends on each one as I go. I currently have three done. Hopefully I can get the remaining seven finished by next weekend. That's it for now. Till next time.
Quite a masterful repair! I have to admit that I would stop with this round and feel that I accomplished something. I wouldn't have the patience to continue with the other rounds!
ReplyDeleteIt's very beautiful!!! :)
ReplyDeleteLooking great. Be careful to count the spaces between the scallops carefully. Don't want any more disasters!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful, Jeff! I tatted rounds 10 and 11 for each scallop, because it was easier to keep track of the spaces between motifs. I also used thread to mark the starting position of each scallop... the second time around!
ReplyDeletegood job!
ReplyDeleteLooking lovely, well done, hope the next row works out ok

I used split rings and tatted both round ten and eleven after marking the start and finish of each scallop. I have started round twelve so you'll be catching up quickly.
