Jan stawasz tatting patterns

A year and a month to make! Two mistakes that were repaired last night The skipped picot was repaired with smaller thread slightly darker color. Oh yea this blunder too, excuse the dog hair :) This was cut and rings were undone to give me thread to work with! did this so many times I made a movie about it!

This is going to take a long while. 10 1/2 inches so far... Luckily, I learned a trick from Frivole while tatting the Mystery Doily; I use reverse tatting for the chains rather than flipping all the time.
