This is my first Celtic Motif.
Here is my first attempt all wrong mainly because I did not take the time to read the instructions properly - as a result I did not cross over the long chain before joining the 2nd clover. I thought I could somehow adjust it and make it look right. But I could not.
I got it right the second time.
Dillmont's Encyclopedia of Needlework is a treasure I inherited from my grandmother in 1989. I never knew that there were so many aspects to needlework. I finally discovered that I was really good at something. This was my introduction into whole new world. Until then reading was my only hobby. Last year, I happened upon Split Ring Tatting. I realised even if I learn about needlework to my dying day, there would still be a lot of things I'd never even heard about.
