Time for tea

 

I finished this sample yesterday. I’m not fond of the thread. It’s size 30 crochet cotton 3-ply. I intended this to be just a trial of the technique as I’ve several ideas for lace representing counterpoint. 

I like designs by Martha Ess. Her written patterns are clear and easy to work from. Her designs are well thought out and fun to create. Now it’s time to try out my design ideas using techniques she creates with. A very tall order!

  2. I love Martha. She is just brilliant with designs. She did cause me to have a challenge though. See here: https://timtatstoo.blogspot.com/2018/09/a-smaller-teapot.html

  4. I agree about Martha! And your version looks nice with the dimensionality showing up subtly.
