This I am definitely including as a challenge piece!!!
It's another of Jane's fabulous designs(this one not for the faint of heart)!!!
Pattern link here: http://janeeborall.freeservers.com/RoundaboutMotif.pdf
I would not recommend this for beginners.
This took complete attention!!! It has mistakes in it-I am sure I didn't change shuttles in the correct spot somewhere, and there is a missed join, and I made a huge mistake without realizing it until the second to the last repeat(when it kept bugging me that the inner round laid so nicely and the outer round seemed so compact and crunched)
......I used 2 different sizes of thread(I thought I read the label!!!).
It's tatted in size 40 HDT from Snapdragon Lace color: Wisteria,
and size 20 Lizbeth Lilac Dk.
I love the design and even the colors. Maybe some day with more time and attention I will attempt it again, because it truly is wonderful!!!! :)
Hope you had a wonderful day with some tatting!! :)

Oh, I like this snowflake and color too,I'll have to get this color looks great!
It looks so cute ... like dancing around with linked hands.... it has a kind of Celtic interweaving effect.
I did have some good tatting done y'day ! Slow, because I'm working with tiny thread this time ;-)
Thank you both!! :)
Love the many shades of purple in this one. You did a fine job with it because it looks lovely.

Very nice snowflake, gives the look of celtic tatting, and interesting colours.

So pretty. Your pain doesn't show!Nor do any mistakes.
It looks beautiful, and I sure don't see any mistakes!
Thank you so much everyone!!! :)
This is a beautiful snowflake. Congrats for the blog anniversary!
I love the thread. I also thought it looked like a Celtic design due to your use of two colors on the split rings. Lovely job!
Thank you Ninetta and Grace!!! :)
