Tischband Finished

For next time, I'll do one less round on the flowers like others have suggested.

 Oh boy.

It certainly flattened after ironing, but it's still a little wonky.

Continuing the Tat-Along

On the second leaf, I did a downward picot for the first normal picot and then folded the work over itself (like a movie clapboard) which made it lay more nicely. You really have to pay attention on the leaf, not get up to do anything else between start and finish.

Tischband Tat-Along: Blatt 2 pattern

I think for the rest of the leaves I'm going to make the first 'real' picot a downward picot and then just fold the tatting over itself.  I'm leaving the last two flowers for after the leaves so that I can easily join them. You can read more about the Tat-Along here.

Tischband Tat-Along!

Fresh of this years TIAS we have a great tat-along from Umi&Tsuru of a Ruth Scharf pattern (You can check out the details here).

First comes the Blute 1, which are the flowers. I've only done two so far, and I might keep the last two until after the leaves.

I'll be doing the leaves in yellow.
