Ben Fikker Doily

UMI and TSURU and tat-ology have started this beautiful doily, I really enjoy seeing there work and hope i can keep up :(  used colors I have, and didn't like the yellow was too bright and too much!

I just cut it out and started over.  The darker pink is size 100 and the new yellow is 50 lets hope I can work this out :)
more on that later.

I love to make this Josephine chain and the shapes are unique and artistic, I believe this is the second time I have use this.   This style of directions is different, in the tatting world they keep evolving and I do have to rewrite them down. glad to have diagram but no numbers beside them :(
Sometimes I think that is what makes tatting hard, like the really old patterns, no diagrams can be a struggle.

    I had a look at Anne Orr yesterday and those pattern notations are certainly daunting!

      I must re-write an entire Anne Orr pattern in my own way in order to tat it correctly. And I use a lot of coloured markers too!

      Yes it is like a puzzle to figure out but the patterns are so pretty! we should get jobs as code deciphering, cause we have lots of practice!

    Interesting colour combo! We all have very different choices so it will be fun to see very differing designs at the end.

    This looks like another fun tat along! Your colors are gorgeous - reminds me of a pansy.

    Lovely colours, I agree the yellow did not do it, Looking forward to seeing what you use.
    I learnt on the old pattern style and having a diagram is a whole lot easier, and the new way of writing is really useful, but teaching someone to tat I am teaching both so they can learn to tat the old patterns as well as the new way.

    Oh, I would said as Cindy : the first one looks like "une pensée", I think in English it's called a pansy. I've learn something ^_^ Wonderful doilies. <3
