you see, the 4th row just isn't fitting right, and I know what the problem is,
my tension on the 3rd row is too loose.... I was worried about making the long chains look so pretty and even, that I left the tension sooo loose, that now the 4th row is being stretched out of shape in some places and pulling the 3rd row out of it's nice shape... when I lay it our flat, which it used to do, it pulls and looks wonky, it won't lay flat, and well, it looks like crap... so, off it is coming, and I am going to re-do it. ok, back to starting the 3rd row again pfft.....
(plus after looking at this and starting to cut off the third row, I realize, I completely missed half of the rings.... omgs, how could I do that and not even see it? really good thing I am cutting it off!!!)
Happy tatting, Bri..
I am going to make a signature, I see them on other blogs, and they always look so nice :D I am going to have to make one :D
Have you thought of blocking before you cut to see if that may solve it? Lovely colors!
ReplyDeleteI thought about it, but I was looking at it and I noticed, I messed it up really bad, I forgot half of the joining rings... I must have been more tired than I realized when I was tired! so, it has already been cut away and I have started again, lol, no idea how long it will take me to get it done, but here I go :D
ReplyDeleteOuch! I feel your pain RE: taking the scissors to rounds three AND four. Don't feel like you have to rush to redo. Take your time and only do a little each sitting. Your progress thus far has been FAB and you are so brave to perform lace-saving surgery.
ReplyDeleteOuch. That hurt, what a pity that it has not worked out, I hope the next round three will work out, You are brave cutting it off.

I love the way Tatting looks. I've never tried it and wouldn't know where to begin but I do crochet, well did until the carpal tunnel took over. I'm taking care of that now.
ReplyDeleteI do understand your frustration though, I've restarted projects many, many, many times, LOL!!! Sometimes it's just the beginning that can be the challenge. Good Luck. Love Di ♥
oh god I feel you...I hate to admit I'm like this but but when things like this happen I just abandon the pattern for a while ! then I might get back to it..
