I have row 13 of Renulek's 2021 Spring Doily done
and this will be my doily as it is. ;)
I finished this row this morning. Now to spend time
sewing in ends and blocking it.
Last week I was inspired by a bracelet front(focal
piece) that I have had for some time(I have a bag of
all different styles and designs waiting for tatted bands.
Since it looks almost like diamond shapes I found Ninetta's
beautiful diamond bugle bead bracelet design and tried it.
Now I am trying to find a decent way to join the tatting
and the bracelet front to each other.
Oh, I used size 40 Lizbeth Rainbow Splash and changed
the stitch count a bit(Ninetta
used size 20 thread, pattern here:
https://ninettacaruso.blogspot.com/2016/12/diamond-shaped.html )
And, being inspired by those bugle bead diamonds
I emptied the shuttles with this cute design.
I tatted the diamonds and then tatted the outer row.
It's terribly fiddly, but pretty. I will try again tatting
the diamonds as rings and the chains coming from them
as a normal ring and chain pattern and see how that
turns out. ;)
Have a fabulous tatting filled week!!! :)

Beautiful doily. Love the band design. Tat around the end of the bracelet, like you would with a cabone ring. Join the band as you are doing it. It would look nice if you graduated the stiches toward the band, giving it a diamond look to blend in with the diamonds in the band and focal piece.
Thank you very much West Pine Creations!!! :)
Well done on finishing the doily! The tatted diamonds work so well to enhance the diamonds of the focal piece. Working with bugle beads is fiddle, but your flower looks really great.
Thank you so much Jane!!! :)
