A Cross

I asked someone their favorite color and she 
said black, but I like green too.  So....
She has a black and green cross.
This is Mary Konior's Small Cross from 
her Tatting with Visual Patterns book.
It's tatted in Lizbeth size 40 Black and 
Yarnplayer's HDT Celery(my favorite 
green)!!!  :)
I have worked on the Spring Doily, but 
while riding across state Saturday and 
tatting I had a small problem closing a ring.
It stopped closing so I tried to straighten out 
the curling thread, and succeed 3 times, but 
the 4th time the thread snapped, so I have to 
take time to take out the partial ring and join 
the shuttle thread back and start again.
I also worked on the Christmas Bow edging, 
but got tired quickly.
I also had an order for a green pair of my 
dreamcatcher earrings which have been 
tatted and delivered this weekend, and I 
have an order for a rainbow pair.
Happy tatting everyone!!!  :)

    The green and black work so well together in this pattern! Of course you know that my choice would have been blue. ;-)

    The black outlines it so well, but the green lifts it - good combination! Good luck with sorting out the Spring doily, what a shame that's required.

    Beautiful cross! The color combo does bring out the details!
    When the thread curls and kinks it really is frustrating. Sometimes the trick is to put both ends of the ring together, then pull the thread, but that doesn't always work either...sigh.

    Thank you very much Marilee!! :) Actually I do put the ends together because it seems to close easier for me, but this was just one of those times.

    I like how black borders almost like stained glass. Sometimes the thread is just very twisty no matter what you do. I've broken a thread so many time when closing a ring that unfortlunately I have become an expert in retro-tatting and adding new thread.

    Well Bernice, maybe we should start a CRBT club(closing ring break thread club). :)

    I have a love hate relationship with this tatted cross pattern, but it does look very nice in those colours. Well done on your orders

    That's a great cross, and I like the way you have incorporated the two colours.
