Here's are some finished projects and beginning another Tischband

I finished this little guy a while ago.
I've been working with size 40 so much lately that it seems working in 80 has gotten easier. So I've started a pineapple doily (not my own pattern- it's written out and I've already found mistakes in the pattern, so I'm making a diagram of the pattern as I go along, fixing those mistakes)


In this last Handy Hands newsletter there was a free handkerchief, so I immediately started working on an edging (pattern from same newsletter).

I pretty much hate pink, so this is going to mom (she loves pink).

I'm also starting another Tischband, different colors this time and in size 40 instead of 20. We'll see how this goes.

Hanky!

WAY back in May Diane was giving away many many hankies. The minute I saw the first picture I knew which one I wanted - didn't even need to look at any of the others (though, of course I did). Before I even received it, I knew which thread I wanted to use - Lizbeth Leaf Green Lt. I have never made a hanky edging before, didn't even have any patterns, so I decided to go searching through the ol' DMC library till one caught my eye. The Tatting Goddess was also tatting up this pattern. I had to cut and restart twice b/f I got the picot lengths right.

This project will probably be in the 'not finished' state for a while...I'll probably only work a tiny bit at a time while I have these three other LARGE projects going. I promise Diane, it'll get done eventually!
