A friend in my Nimble Thimble group brought in an old hankie with tatted edging to show me. I was very impressed with the work as it had a great deal of bare thread space and I rarely see that in modern patterns. I told her it was very special and made her promise she would never sneeze into it. She giggled and offered to let me keep it for a while. I politely declined and took a photo instead because I want to show it off to all of you, but don't want to be held responsible should anything untoward happen to it.
So, here it is, I think it's pretty cool:
Another woman in the group blessed me with a bag of thread she found in her stash. Mostly DMC 5 and 8 from what I can tell. Wheee!
That is a lovely hanky!
ReplyDeleteI agree! The bare thread spaces were so even. That was what caught my eye first, the complete lack of chains, and made me think this was an older pattern.
