Go have a look at the pretty tatting on Kathy's blog, Look for the February 14th post in the middle of the page. I have been looking forward to tatting this, and it is a free Lyn Morton pattern, also linked to Kathy's site. The pattern is supposed to look like this (half done): But, when I started tatting it, I did not like certain aspects of the design and so have changed it to : The difference: Thread is Bre-Aly Threads #30 by Snappish Then I realized why I like the pattern and where I had first seen it. Suneeti gave me this months ago: Her tatting is immaculate, and if it is the same design, she has changed it also. So, I looked at what she has done and fiddled with Lyn's pattern. This is a new step for me - venturing into the realm of design. I am beginning to get inklings about what try pleases me and what I actually dislike about certain facets of shapes and designs. These things I have recognized for a while now, but I am only now comfortable following my hunches and am slowly becoming okay with my skill set to experiment - a very little bit. Whoo hoo for Fox! Interesting that this motif is #25 of (I think it is my fourth) Motif Challenge! Sign me up again Sharon! The Challenge is a constant catalyst for me and so many others. Thank you, Sharon for all the dedicated work you do to keep us all tatting and participating! Anon,
