Now I have round 7 done on the Renulek's 2017 Spring Napkin. It was not a bad round at all and it felt like I was finishing quickly.
Once again I used the gauge, even though there are only 2 picots on the rings on the round. This is the first time, however, that I ever used a gauge on the "back" side of a split ring. I little fiddly, but I got it. And once again the round lends itself quite well to using a split chain and split ring to transition to the next round. Easy peasy. Now for round 8.
On another note, Iris Niebach has a couple more books out. Yeah, I ordered them. So far I have everything from her. I like her work so I collect them. Actually I collect tatting books. These will make my collection count 360 books. What am I going to do with them if I drop dead? I hope someone will get them that can use them, And WILL use them, not just sitting on a dusty old shelf in some library.

Looking good! Gosh, that’s a lot of tatting books.
ReplyDeleteI also love Iris Niebach's books. I haven't ordered the latest one yet, but I have a feeling it will be arriving at my house soon!
ReplyDeleteWow on the doily and the library. Oh and Happy New Year too.
