A necklace

 It's a pattern by Madjar Tatting on Etsy. Link here:

  I really like the design. 
But as for tatting it....I found that she calls for 81 beads, but I 
would need more to have it go all the way around my neck, 
and I did add about 8 more beads and it's still too short. 
I wanted to make a necklace to go with this shirt I got at 
Hobby Lobby.  I love the color!  It's so different than common 
colors.  I feel it's a pinkish purple(almost raspberry). 

The pattern says size 20 thread, but I only had a size 40 
that would compliment the shirt and beads.  It's Lizbeth 
Purple Iris Dk.  I used 2 strands hoping it would be good 
enough to equal the size 20.  Beads are size 6mm which 
I had to order from Amazon.  I was so happy that the color 
was so perfect!! :)


So, I have to either tat some more to get the sides 
close enough for a clasp, or figure some kind of 
to connect the ends to the shoulders while wearing.
Either way I do like it!! :)
Happy Tatting everyone!! :)
