Tatting and temari

There are two unfinished doilies sitting in my drawers.  I'm trying to finish them.  It's not going well.  Here's the smaller one.  The pattern from a Japanese book, and it's supposed to be dainty and lovely.  Right now, it looks like a dish rag.


I know blocking will do wonders, but I had to take a break before I got discouraged.  So I made a temari.

  1. The temari is pretty! The tatting will be too once you've blocked it.

    1. Thank you Jane,

      I hope the tatting will block nicely, although it might be a while before it gets to the blocking stage.

    1. I hope it'll turn out Ok. I've had to cut out and redo quite a few mistakes on it. Hoping they won't show on the finished product
