Wendy umintsuru and I tatted two challenges together from this very book and I had monsterous luck both times with the difficult patterns. Even my Russian hairdresser could not give me a very good translation.<br /><br />Put it away and try again later. That's what I did and had a better time of it after a few months.

It's honestly a bit of a fiddly pattern so I think I was actually glad to have an excuse to move on (probably why I gave up so easily), but it does bother me to have something "unfinished," so it's not a bad idea...hmmm... :)Mrs. Finkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05821513098662287624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8790815654275899841.post-11572597832201368892016-02-17T15:10:43.930-08:002016-02-17T15:10:43.930-08:00I have some mild ideas of how to fudge it, but I&#...I have some mild ideas of how to fudge it, but I'm wondering if it's even worth the thread...at this point I think I just might cut my losses (literally) and save the thread for a do-over...sometime in the future.

(Keep in mind, I wouldn't have the faintest idea where to start to figure out how to make it work....but if you CAN, it really IS worth a try.) They're both pretty....<br />Maybe on the 8-sided one you can tat 1 or 2 'arms' of the center - first in size 100 thread, then in size 80. See which one matches the center of the 'real thing.' That might help you see whether it is 100 or 80 you were working with. I hope you can find a solution to both doily problems.<br />SWtrompeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00732715929819461390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8790815654275899841.post-8032222308718438402016-02-17T06:38:51.693-08:002016-02-17T06:38:51.693-08:00If you can fudge it, do.
