While tatting, I make a note about the way I'm doing it, as suggested in Muskaan's This Way or Tat exercise, and I found that for this doily - unconsciously - there's a mix of ways and changes of directions and not always the same method to hide ends, too. In the case of a new design, often the thread must be cut, just because that is the prototype, so it happens that I cut a quarter of one round to change stitches' count.
Basically I'm having fun, so in general I don't care cuts nor the direction.
Nevertheless, I like the look of all front side tatting, in this case emphasized by the curled rings.
Rounds with only chains: tatted with normal ds (flipped), clockwise direction.
Rounds with little rings and curled rings: chains tatted with reverse stitches – these are not flipped, and the order of half stitches is reversed; rings tatted normally. These rounds grow in counterclockwise direction.
All little rings used in centres are tatted separately and closed using the magic trick to hide their end.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great project to use for observations for muskaan's This Way or Tat! It is a beautiful doily already.
ReplyDeleteI agree with above, and add great beauty from your golden hands :)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! It is interesting to pay conscious attention to direction of tatting, we so often 'just do it'.
ReplyDeleteI really love the colours you are using and your attention to detail as well, I am missing the Italian group as I was beginning to pick up some Italian
