Tatting

This is a little doily made from a Swedish pattern. Many of the Swedish patterns are quite lovely.

Although the color doesn't show up well, this is a yellow doily in a size 10 thread, I think. I made this a long time ago.

This tatted doily has a lighter look to it than some of the doilies because of the rows of rings without chains. I think it makes a doily look quite fragile to have these rows of rings.

This was made a long time ago. If I had it to do over again, I'd never make the roses three dimensional like this. It's impossible to do the doily up really well, something that came as a surprise to me. The chains that make the petals tend to twist. This is about 12" across.

Here's a closeup of the rose tatted doily. I think you can see that the petals get a little unruly over a period of years.
