Tatting Tuesday

I began the next edging in "Tatting Patterns and Designs".  'Ingeborg' was tatted with a blue varigated DMC thread, size 80. This pattern can also be used as an insertion and is very easy and simple repeats of chains that are joined.
It appears quite delicate and pretty, but I thought it to be a little 'thin.'                  
                                                                                    Perhaps two rows together might look nice.             

                                                                            But joining them at the picots might lose that laciness.                                                                    

So I joined them with a double row of stitches

Yuck!     Too messy, and the joins are not even.  So, perhaps just joining the centre picots on the rows might have worked better.  So much for my idea.

The original pattern is cute, though, and it was easy to follow the directions. Now, to cut off that joining piece........

Happy Tatting.

Thanks for visiting.
