This may look familiar to some, but the
center will confuse them.
This is the Mystery Doily by Patty Dowden
pattern here:
And my inspiration here:
I started and got to the second repeat when I realized
that I should have highlighted the spot in
the directions that say I should have started
with the last ring of the top 6, but I thought,
oh well, I will have to figure out the final
joins.......until, I realized that I messed up the
second "S" chain and would have to untat
6 small rings on top, then an "S" chain,
and then 4 more small rings just to get
to the mistake(NO THANKS!!!).
So...I started again, but 5 repeats in
I realize that I missed the fact of joining
the center rings properly. Since I only have
limited amount of the hand dyed thread
size 40 Yarnplayer's Lilac Sea,
I decided not to start again, but to join
the center by chains of 2ds each.
When blocked it should look ok.
The complimenting color is
size 40 Lizbeth Lilac Med.
This now has to go into hiding, and I have to get
housework finished.
Have a wonderful day and hopefully
lots of tatting too!!! :)
