Tuesday last week we had another of those great tat sessions online. We worked on another Frauberger design - the one on the front cover actually - and I have just been able to finish it this weekend. So here comes another fiddly design from that awesome book:
I used Aida size 20 and I do not think that was the right choise because more and more I get the feeling that when there are some large rings or chains then this thread does not look good, I think this thread at least reguires quite a few picots on those large rings and chains. The one above looks clumsy or at least not very delicate and lacy. But for lots of other stuff it is such a nice thread to tat with.

I love the way the square motifs look... well done!
What a lovely design! That book looks like a wonderful treasure trove of tatting patterns.
I like it!
I really like this design, Susanne - if you tat another five of them, you would have a lovely table cover!
LOL Maureen, I am definitely not ever going to tat another 5 of these, it would make me insane doing that.
