When I started this edging I had only a vague idea of what I wanted. I was happy with the first row though I knew it needed a second row to make it as deep as I was looking for. The length of the first row worked out well, leaving just the right number of repeats so the second row fit – once I figured out what the second row was going to be. The first row has a SCMR and a thrown ring in every repeat but otherwise it is just rings and chains. The second row is a little fiddly but not difficult, using only rings and chains though you have to switch shuttles for the ‘basket’ part. If anyone is interested I am sharing the pattern, it’s on the sidebar.
I’m not much of a garden person – I’m much too lazy to keep it weeded – but I do like to have a few flowers to brighten up the house. While they look nice I’d thought I’d share a little. I put these out a little over a week ago and they’re still alive(!) and look like they may stay that way a little longer. It’s amazing how a few pots of plants change the whole feel of the entry way.

That's a very pretty edging, and I do like the colour you've used.

I really REALLY like the edging! It's very regal!
Thanks for sharing the pattern. That's one of my favorite threads too.
This is a beautiful edging! When in the world do you have time to do all the tatting and clever designing that you do? It's so generous of you to share these designs. Love the bunnies, too!
Lovely edging, and gorgeous colour, look forward to seeing what you do with it.

I have to agree with the Lady in that it is very regal, she is after all a Lady.
What came to my mind when I saw it were the edgings of curtains swags hanging in some grand palace or something like that.
Your edging is a gorgeous design!! 🙂
