It will be the best accomplishment ever when you get it done, even if it does take longer. I’m still not done with mine - I made the mistake of doing that easy 2nd to last round with some pearl cotton that matches. Not nice thread for such a large piece :(Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10179656803101670399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6773419808528632842.post-14718326924643745792018-08-02T08:20:24.872+01:002018-08-02T08:20:24.872+01:00Well Kathy it is noticeable when you spread it out...Well Kathy it is noticeable when you spread it out, but at a quick glance like you I missed the mistake.

That must have been quite a shock! Just put it away for a week or so, and you'll realize it's not as overwhelming to fix as it seems - only 16 repeats! And I assume you have enough thread. (Of course, I don't have to do the tatting! :) <br /><br />I also really want to see it in its full glory because this outer round looks fantastic in these colors - quite a different effect from the original, and very appealing!

It's on the LAST round, too, not on a much earlier one, where you'd have to snip out rows and rows of tatting. You can do it. Give yourself a little break, then take a deep breath, get the scissors out, and finish this beautiful doily.<br />StephanieWAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6773419808528632842.post-40798720264212101772018-07-31T18:41:05.763+01:002018-07-31T18:41:05.763+01:00Jane the truth is I did not particularly like tatt...Jane the truth is I did not particularly like tatting this doily but thought that I would eventually grow to love it if I plodded on, but that was not the case.

And much better that it's as perfect as you can make it. Leave it alone for a few days, and then you will be able to face it again. I think it's looking really lovely in those colours.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02383223698959645624noreply@blogger.com
