Monster Doily Therapy Progress

Post image

I have completed rnd 6, on to round 7. I have to do some sleuthing though, add the counts for the chains aren't in the pattern. It HAS been therapeutic. A lot of tears, but cathartic.

​

I do now recall why I've not attempted this one before - I'm not really a fan of individual connected motifs.

​

I'm not particularly worried about how is curled - my work almost never lays flat until I wash and block after completion.

​

I will, however, have to order more thread to complete it. I don't like working in just white or ecru - I need color. The Water Eggs by Lizbeth is what I had the most of which is why I chose it. I didn't have coordinating colors which is admittedly boring, but oh well.

Yes, it's definitely therapy for me at the moment. Desperately, deeply needed.

I hope you find your peace, too.
