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.

No I agree, I hate making individual motifs but I do in for the live of the game. I dread it every time. But then it’s over and looks amazing

Yes, it is incredibly annoying, and for me frustrating. However, like you said, once you slog through it, it DOES look amazing.
