lacy



Oh, lacy things.

(Deep, deep, contented sigh.)

I finally finished tatting this lacy Clover Doily by Jon.


This doily is made up of 3 individual motifs but once tatted together ~ it forms a lacy mosaic that seems so intricate, but is actually oh, so simple.




My obsession with lace has now seeped into socks & knitting.

I just started this Medallion Lace Sock by Andrea Fox.

And this is what I have noticed...




...I am still completely bowled over that socks are magically appearing from my needles.  I stare down at the movement and think ~ is this really me doing this?

Because it's so therapeutic.

So rhythmic.

So soothing.




And so unbelievably beautiful.

How beautiful that tatting is and the knitting too.

That doily is something- gorgeous!

The socks are great too but I have a passion for tatting.

I feel exactly the same when I tat something of substance- wow, I'm really responsible for that?

The doily is just breathtaking. I just love tatted doilies and I'm still trying to learn how to do it.

Superb doily. I wanted to do this in colour and bought green, red and orange threads. But haven't gotten time to start it yet. But the white colour looks awesome.

I think most of us are not surprised at the beauties coming off your needles.
Love those socks!!!

The tatting is awesome! So very pretty.

Love the sock and the yarn....what I always liked about making a sock was the heal. The directions made no sense, but in the end it became a heal! :)

Just found your lovely blog via Crochet By The Sea. Looking forward to watching your progress on all your projects. :)

Blessings always
