Can you believe it? After three weeks (?) I finally have the pattern finished. Yay!
I have never had this much trouble diagramming a pattern before. And then I realized, I’ve never diagrammed a doily before. I’ve done snowflakes, bookmarks, edgings, earrings, even an airplane, but never a doily. May I just say, it is a lot more complicated than all the others!
I started working on this, thinking it’s not that hard a pattern to tat, it shouldn’t take too long to diagram it. Was I wrong! I’ve made doilies before, just never written them out with a diagram. Not like this, anyway. Wow! I was ready to quit several times. I would think I had it, then things wouldn’t line up and I’d have to try again. It still isn’t that pretty, but I think it can be followed.
No-one except me has tried to follow this pattern, so there may be mistakes hiding in it. But I need to get on to Christmas tatting! I did say I would get this out, so here it is. If anyone would like to have it, please email me. And if you find mistakes, let me know so I can fix it! I’d love to hear from anyone who does make it.

Absolutely gorgeous! I’ve emailed you for the pattern.
Beautiful work! Looking forward to making it!!
I love it. I love your color choice. It works great for the pattern. I would like a copy of the pattern please.
Thank you,
Fabulous design!!! 🙂 Looks like you did an awesome job on the diagram!! 🙂
I think it’s beautiful! I haven’t been able to diagram any pattern yet. I get so frustrated that I give up after about 10 minutes. I guess I just don’t have the patience to play around. I could just send my patterns to you for diagramming! 😉
I love the pattern, I love the thread you use and thank you for sharing the pattern
I just love this doily! 😀 Thanks for sharing the pattern.
