Can you make lace that is practical?
Yes, if it’s tatted!
Can you make fabric with lots of holes?
Yes, if it’s lace!
Can you use lace every day?
Yes, if it’s designed
well!
I have tatted quite
a few items I use just about every day. Edgings for linens. Earrings. Hair buncovers. Doilies to protect furniture. The patterns are usually simple and tend
to be classic. Just a ring with a chain repeated over as many times as I need.
For pieces I make into covers for hair buns, I like using ring only “Mignonette”
style patterns. The fabric is flexible yet chorales the ends of my hair well. I’ve
been working on one using Quilting Thread.
I’ve ended up with ruffles.
I’ve ended up with
too many rows before the focal rows.
I’ve started over too
often.
I’m very close this
time. Even if I made a glaring error. Can you see it?
I’ll revise this
post with the answer tomorrow morning.
Love how this looks in detail! Perhaps the error is at bottom right? Wouldn't even have noticed if you hadn't asked ;-D
ReplyDeleteYes. There's actually 2 errors. One snuck in and the second "fixed" it to balance the pattern.
DeleteWe’re lucky to be able to make and use lace in all sorts of practical ways.
ReplyDeleteWe are lucky!
