Spring 2024 Renulek Doily part 2

So I'm making progress on this doily!

Again, this is the spring 2024 doily by a tatting designer named Renulek. 

This is rounds 1- 4 done.

I certainly struggled with the flower-like motif on the 4th round. I think I made it harder than it needed to be. 😅 I chose to make the flower motif in two colors and... let's just say I did the best I could. Oh well, I survived it! The joins between the rings aren't clean but that's because I was doing something different.

I am not sure when I will block it so that it stays flat. I should probably do that within the next few rounds. I'm learning that with tatting, it often helps to block your work even though it isn't done yet.

I have so many projects I'm working on right now, but I hope to have updates to share soon.

Spring 2024 Renulek doily

This is such a great doily. Renulek makes such great tatting patterns.

Spring 2024 doily, rounds 1 to 3:

I am tatting the spring 2024 Renulek doily. I made another of their doilies a few years ago. It probably took me a year to make in size 20 thread, and it came out over 26" in diameter. (I never measured it!)

I'm expecting this doily to be just as big. That's ok with me. I've gotten comfortable with size 20 thread.

This spring 2024 doily is made with four colors of Lizbeth size 20 thread. I was inspired by all of the doilies I saw on instagram and in tatting groups. I usually don't do much colored tatting or lacemaking.

I finally have enough tatting shuttles that I can have fun with color coding my thread to my shuttles!

Subsequent rounds will be coming soon!

Ffn!
