Serwetka VI Doily 6

 I have finished this doily in Omega size 50, it measures 9in/22 cm. The last row did not add to the size.  I was quite skeptical of the thread but it was not difficult to tat with as long as you are not a tight tatter.

The colorway is interesting and for photographing, I tried a few backgrounds as suggested and settled on white.

This is from the book by Jan Stawasz Tatted Treasures , which is full of a wide variety of tatted patterns.  I thought the central part of this pattern would work for a clock face and perhaps it will.

One More Row

This Doily has been an adventure, firstly using the Omega thread and secondly another Jan Stawasz Doily.  Can you tell I like his patterns, in fact the Tatted Treasures book is looking a little worn as I have browsed through the pages so much. I took the top picture as the sun streamed into the kitchen this morning. So happy to be on the last row of any project, and yes I do know the last row is the longest row. 

The Omega thread is soft but tats up nicely as long as you don't tat too tight.  The thread is not smooth but more of a natural finish and if you tat too tight the rings are hard to close.  The doily above is now 9 inch (22 cm) size so a nice size and don't think I am halfway through this 30 gram ball. I think this thread may be best suited to crochet so I will try a little, see I did crochet around a button but probably should have grabbed a smaller hook. It does crochet up nicely.

I'm Back

Title says it all. I have been tatting along with all my other projects, wrapping up Mom's estate stuff, Tax season and keeping the genealogy records. Below is an update of the tatting that has been done.
I completed one of the arches for the Jan Stawasz Moje Robotki, halfway around another row on the Renulek Wiosna 2015, and started a new Jan Stawasz Doily VI.

Of course I have a few other WIP's but that's all for today.
