How did (do) lacers do it? Spend hours upon hours creating lace using only white threads?
I admit with pride that I am a "color girl" when it comes to lace. Tatting multiple snowflakes in white lasted only for two -- adding colored beads to help break up the monotony.
The thought of loading up my new shuttle with more white thread damped my enthusiasm, so it was Lizbeth® 40 Peacock Blues to the rescue!
Here is the outer round of Celtic Snowflake © 2012 Jane Eborall. I wanted to have completed this round before taking photos, but time waits for noone. Almost done...on the final repeat.
Jane's pattern calls for beads, but I got so focused on winding this gorgeous blue thread that I forgot to add them, so this round will be plain.
And another photo showing the lovely color in morning light. Oh color, how I love thee!

So vibrant! You didn’t even need the beads!

Yes! Now I know what thread I'm going to take on vacation with me!
ReplyDeletethis snowflake round is looking deliciously blue, and very nice!
ReplyDeleteWonderful colour! I love colour too, there are so many beautiful colours, it seems a pity to restrict oneself. This blue thread is so gorgeous, it doesn't need beads.
ReplyDeleteI do love Peacock Blues! It looks so nice coming off your new shuttle!
ReplyDeleteOh, I agree. One pattern can look dramatically different when using color or colors instead of white. This one looks striking in those blues. Using this thread with your new shuttle - how could you not be happy while you tat?
ReplyDeleteYour snowflake is looking amazing already!! :)
ReplyDeleteI too love colors, but have a little trouble convincing myself to tat snowflakes in color since I love white snow(but the beautiful color tatted ones I have seen may help me to get past the white only snowflakes).
