What Was Stopping Me? Was The Start!

To replicate this is tricky and from the start, wow!
This little beauty is called "Pinecones" from the book called
Tatting Adventure by Ben Fikkert I also wanted to reduce it to one knot instead of two and not cut ends like above.

After about three of these I was successful and pinned out with my hairspray trick below.



Finally passed that hurdle
I have wanted to try is for years and so glad to make it to this point :)
Now I can calm down and have at least two projects going at same time, at least:)

    I have this book too, and I want to try the first pattern in it, the leaf pattern, your start looks good and I look forward to seeing more of the pattern.

      That is a beautiful one with Victorian Sets in it call "ferns" I also would want to try the one called "fall" but maybe not such a large one just do the first section.🌿🍃🌿😄
