Bookmarks and Doilies
Julie used Lizbeth size 20, golden yellow med. and navy blue to tat Monica Cross, from Lene Bjorn's Tatted Bookmark's - Cross Shaped. Frequent use of the shoe lace trick (SLT) enabled her to keep the colours in the right places.
Fox started Angeline Critchlow's design and it cupped dreadfully. However after a hint from Frances, Fox tried it again. No cupping this time, just beautiful lace.
Jess is working on another round of Debbie Arnold Square Doily and finding that she really has to pay attention. She's also working on Mary Maynard's Tatting a 4 Square Ring. The colors right now are Lizbeth size 40 in Charcoal, Silver, and Cream, but she has plans to add more colour.
Oh, that is going to be a very pretty oval piece!
