Random Tatting Doily Done

Well, after the frustrations of cutting off 3 tries on 

the last round I decided to try and draw around the 

doily to see if I could come up with something that 

wouldn't have to be cut off.  It took a couple of tries, 

but throwing away paper or erasing lines is easier 

and less wasteful than cutting rounds even 3 inches 

long!  ;)

I drew this round and loved it!  Tatted it and decided 

this doily is done.  It's only 5 inches across in size 40 

and you can see by the regular sized clover shuttle that 

it's a small doily.  ;)
****For those interested, the stitch counts for this 

doily are all 4s.  My daughter says I should call it
"May the 4's be with you".  ;)

 Then Saturday night I went to bed, but woke back up 

at 1am and was up until 4am.  I sat and watched 

Christmas movies and then had an urge to tat something.

So, I found my HDT Confetti in size 20 and a Lizbeth 

Lilac Med. also in size 20(I have very little size 20).
I started to tat the center of the doily again.

 For those who wonder how much bigger the doily 

would be in size 20 below is a picture of the 20 

under the 40-not much difference.

Anyway, the doily is done for me.

I also knitted a 2nd dishcloth and now the 

yarn is done.

Have a fabulous week of tatting!!!! :)
