Another Personal Challenge Ornament, and a little more tablecloth

This next ornament didn't go as planned, but looks 

pretty sharp-I think!  :)

 It's tatted with DMC Metallic embroidery thread.  I 

don't know what size that is, but I will say I hate how 

scratchy it is.  I drug my feet working on the first part 

due to the roughness of the thread, but forced myself 

to get it done.  It will take force to make more in this 

thread!!!

 The pattern is Fancy Snowflake from Easy Tatting 

by Rozella F. Linden.  Now let me admit something...

I started to make the snowflake figuring it would 

work with the center of the snowflake at the top and 

bottom of the ornament, but I missed a join and then 

another, and with that metallic it's a bad idea to open 

rings or untat chains cuz' it shreds and breaks easy, 

even when tatting. So I resolved to just leave it and 

I tied the joins when finished.  And I just pulled a 

string through the top and bottom center picots and 

tied it off.

 I love the look from the bottom!

Below is a picture of the 4 done.

 And, both sides are currently equal on the tablecloth, 

and I am now adding length to the center so I can 

then I can work on getting it all to the width of the 

rest of it and hopefully take a break to sew in ends 

after that.  Then, go back and keep adding width to 

the entire length.  :)  It's a learning process!!  :)

Hope your day is blessed with love and tatting!!!  :)
