Milky Way Snowfalke

 

I don't know how many of these snowflakes I have tatted. It is Milky Way from .Jon's book which I think many of you are working your way through, or plan to. I didn't put beads on this one because I didn't think it needed them. Still don't.
Pamela's hand dyed thread named Rainbow Bright is sweeping the tatting community and I hope to have my tree full of Rainbow snowflakes by Christmas.
If you've yet to try the book or the thread, please treat yourself. You will be delighted!

How many of you expected to see yellow next? Maybe Yarnplayer did. Tatting this doily is a true joy. The pattern is well written and the HDT is fabulous as usual.

Rhubarb Crisp Doily Finished!

I'M FINISHED! I love this doily. It makes me feel happy, warm, cheerful, hungry and nostalgic all at the same time. I hope that covers it. Tatting with hand dyed thread is the absolute ultimate tatting experience and high up on experiences at large. I am definitely framing this doily and probably redecorating!

I will measure how much of Marilee's thread I have left so I'll know how much I used. All of the thread is her's except the solid yellow which is DMC Cebelia size 20.

I still have to do some major blocking. I don't know how I am going to manage straightening out each little picot, but it has to be done. I can't see putting this much effort and love into tatting a piece and not finishing it properly. I'm hoping once it is gently washed it will be more easy to block.

Thanks to all of you who have watched it's progress and been so encouraging and complimentary. Now, join Clyde and I and become Hand Dyed Thread Addicts!
