I haven't had any problems with just going by the diagram on the first page, but maybe you would find the written pattern on the following pages helpful :o)
She also gives suggested colors, though really, the way I read it, they aren't so much suggestions but rather references between her tatted model and the color coding on the pattern. But either way, I like to use my own mix of colors. :o)
So, here it is so far: I LOVE it!!
Isn't it neat how the colors pooled in the Carnival? I love how there's yellow in each corner and in the middle of each side. :o)
And a detail of what I added since the last post:
As you can I see, I did add the carnival and Lime and then the two additional rows are Lizbeth 657 Bright Turquoise Dk and Lizbeth 632 Purple Md. (which I use A LOT! It seems to go with everything!)
I also ordered more thread. Mostly, so that I could add some more coordinating colors but also because I really value a well coordinated solid in most (if not all) projects and was wanting to expand my selection!
I really think that the Ocean Teal Md will be a good match for Parakeet dye, which is used in Carnival, Coconut Island, Madder Tatter, 4-Eva, and Bahamas. (Can you tell I really like LOVE that color?)
Love the colour!

It is a great pattern, but the colours you have used have made it outstanding.
ReplyDeletevery nice doily. Like the unusual shape too. your tatting is very good.
ReplyDeleteThat doily is outstanding!!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI really do like that doily, and the colors you've chosen are gorgeous!
ReplyDeletethese colors are beautiful: I wonder if I'm not going to buy new Lizbeth threads and tat a second model like this one !
ReplyDeleteI noticed that you have added in the last row of pearls and it is a very nice variant : bravo
Have a nice day

So pretty. I love the colours you've used, and the unusual shape.
ReplyDeleteThe more I see this, the more I love the colors you chose. I am drawn to your photo.
