Before starting on the doily edging, I wanted to briefly work on something else, something with some color.
These are Jane Eborall's Multi-Beaded Earrings, tatted in Jess's "Winter Jewels" HDT. I have to say, these earrings are quite fiddly to work, though a lot of fun. The second one was definitely easier than the first, but I still can't imagine how Jane has been cranking so many of them out lately. I'm very pleased with these earrings and can't wait to go show them off.
I have also made a little bit of a start on the edging.
I like how the edging has points that come inward to fill in the spaces between motifs.
I'm also glad I thought to order a new ball of thread a few weeks ago.
This is all that's left after making the inner part of the doily. I'll use it to refill the shuttle.
They get easier, Miranda!!!! I love a challenge and the first person I challenge is myself!!!!
