Not quite there

 

My goal today was to get halfway around round 8. I'm not quite there yet. I think I'll make my goal for tomorrow to be 2/3 of the way around. 3/4 seems like too much! 

Beginning round 8

Our power went out for a short time this morning, and since I couldn't use my sewing machine, I started tatting round 8 of Renulek's Spring Doily 2026. For this round I'm using size 20 Lizbeth #622 Pink Med.

After school, Dave and I went shopping for a new washer and dryer. I can't believe how expensive appliances have gotten. Still, it was something we needed. Just think of all the crafting supplies I could have purchased with that money!

Round 7

 

I really didn't think I'd have time to complete this round today, but because it was so simple I was able to finish. Round 7 of Renulek's Spring Doily 2026 is in size 20 Lizbeth #619 Baby Pink.

I also managed to tat a doodad ornament before dinner!

Rounds 5 & 6

 I planned on working on quilt blocks today, but that never happened.

Instead, I tatted two rounds of Renulek's Spring Doily 2026. Round 5 is in size 20 Lizbeth #633 Purple Dk, the same color as the first round. Round 6 is in size 20 Lizbeth #640 Antique Violet Med. 

Tomorrow is going to be a busy day, so I'm not sure how much I'll get done, but you know I'll try!

Round 4

 

I completed round 4 of Renulek's Spring Doily 2026 today. I really enjoyed tatting this round! I used size 20 Lizbeth #663 Bright Turquoise Dk.

I also completed my doodad ornament for the day. Not a bad day!

A good start

I got a good start on round 4 of Renulek's Spring Doily 2026. I had a little bit of a rough start. I joined the first ring in the wrong place two times. On the third ring I notice that I had wrapped the thread around the motif on the previous row. Of course I noticed it after I closed the ring!

Still, once I had the first pattern repeat completed, I realized that this round is going to be a fairly easy one to tat.

I did manage to tat a doodad ornament today. Any progress is good progress!

Round 3

 

Round 3 of Renulek's Spring Doily 2026 was a fun one to tat. I chose Lizbeth #130 Island Breeze for this round. I'm eager to see how it looks once I've tatted round 4.

I made two big mistakes in this round that took a couple of hours to fix. Because of that, I didn't get around to tatting any doodad ornaments today. It's a good thing I had several days when I tatted multiples!
