It's Growing!

Here's what my cousin's table runner looks like so far:

I was thinking of doing this row in solid blue and the next in solid red to make stripes, but just before I started it, I started to envision a completely different pattern. You'll see when I show you the next row. That's the great thing about a piece made of separate motifs; you can change the patterns created by the colors however you want.

As always, you can find this pattern, by Jon Yusoff, here.

I would like to share a new blog with you all. I don't normally plug any particular blog; there are so many great ones out there, and so many tatting friends. But Murray's writing is so beautiful that I really think everyone should read it; even people who don't know anything about tatting will find it inspirational. So give yourself a treat and go visit The Tatting Whisperer.

Off to do laundry now-- I've been noticing that my dolly bag from Jane, which I use as my tatting carry-all really needs a good wash. Goes to show that I use it a lot. And then I'll have to replace the drawstring-- again-- because little Squijum just can't keep his teeth off of it.
