| So I started another of the latest spring doily by Renulek |
 |
| This time I really wanted to get the center right. and choose this method. |
 |
| I didn't tie it off till closer to the end, I have rough time seeing and knotting at the end and get the rings out of order. this works better. below one is size 40 and other is 80. |
 |
| I am happy with the first one and I am going to try to keep up with both Have a wonderful Sunday and rest of the week too. |
I'm still struggling with thread selection. I'm torn between 3 colors with size 80 or 2 colors with size 30. Perhaps I should follow your example and do both. Your blue and white one is what I have in mind for the lavender and white size 30 threads. Thanks for sharing your solution to keeping the center rings in order. Very helpful!
ReplyDeleteOh good, I was hoping I could post that before someone started it and I like the lavender and white idea :) should I start a third ha ha ha!
DeleteYou are amazing ! 2 together! The 2nd one looks nice - a combination that never fails :-)
ReplyDeleteI used a safety pin, too - forgot to mention it or take pics. You always come up with very practical & easy solutions to share :-)
I figured you used one :) and for some reason I know better and just think I can do it with out, it is just fidgety and string get in the way no mater what size thread.
DeleteBrilliant solution.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ninetta, I felt important to share and make beginning a bit easier.
DeleteOh I see! - you leave all the rings on the safety pin until it's time to join the next one, and then tie the threads of the first round when you get to the end. Very clever, I must remember that if I decide to make this doily.
ReplyDeleteYes, will work with others like this too!
DeleteDitto what Maureen said! Love both colour choices.
ReplyDeleteVery clever! I wish I had thought of that. I'll remember it when I start this doily. I do like the blue and white together.
ReplyDeleteyes, it is the beginning that is such a struggle!
DeleteSono bellissimi, aspetto di vederli finiti!
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteFabulous starts on both!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
DeleteClever you! I used tiny picots to join one of the rings to keep it easier. Next time I'll use your method. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOh wow I didn't think of that, I may try that way next time
ReplyDeleteVery pretty colors, and interesting technique for the center. I'll be following along to see how it develops.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I know everyone can't do everything, I too enjoy other projects, all my blogger friends I consider them proxy tattlers :)
ReplyDeleteI am looking at your interesting technique with the rings, Both are going to look lovely, I want to finish the heart doily first before I take on anything else, sorry it's a late comment
ReplyDeleteMargaret
Oh that is fine I love that heart doily and it is looking good!
DeletePrecious works, I follow you.
ReplyDeleteRegards
Thank you Concha!
DeleteThese look great, Mad! I like size 80 thread, but my eyes don't....lol
ReplyDeleteThanks Suztats looks like we my not go further with this doily at all Renulek was overwhelmed by some stressful emails and may not proceed :(
ReplyDeleteLovely! How different the two look! And I like your idea of getting the centre right
