And we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re back!\u00c2\u00a0 Just finished up another pledge drive at work which has kept me super busy for the last two months.\u00c2\u00a0 (Taking classes for my masters at the same time hasn’t helped much.) Glad to be back on a more \u00e2\u20ac\u0153normal\u00e2\u20ac\u009d work schedule and (as a added bonus for my tatting deprived little fingers) I happen to have August and September off from classes so hopefully either lots more time more tatting and working on the Priscilla Project or lots more time for getting caught up with the rest of my life.\u00c2\u00a0 Hopefully both, but we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll see.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For this first post back, I wanted to celebrate the fact that I just finished the 3rd<\/sup> (and last) panel for my shawl.\u00c2\u00a0 Don’t they look pretty?\u00c2\u00a0 The colors are a little off because of the red tablecloth, but you get the idea.<\/p>\n

The next steps are to tat edgings that will attach the pieces together and then to create a a border around the whole things. Both these parts will be done in white so I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m done with the color work for the piece.\u00c2\u00a0 I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m hoping that a white connecting piece and a white border around the whole thing will pull it all together and create an even stronger stain glass effect.\u00c2\u00a0 Both the connecting piece and the border will be done with one of the edging variations (or maybe two different ones) for the motif that the whole thing is based on, but I haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t figured out yet how do the corners on the border or how to do the parts of the border at the point that it meets the ends of the connectors on the edge.\u00c2\u00a0 So for the moment I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m setting aside these three panels and will be playing around with a couple samples.<\/p>\n

Actually, now that I write that it occurs to me that maybe I can figure it out on the computer.\u00c2\u00a0 See, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be using all sorts of variations on the motif that I wrote up my Variations on a Theme booklet about so I have all the pieces of the motif saved in my graphics program and maybe I can figure out something that works there.\u00c2\u00a0 Would certainly be faster than thread and shuttles.\u00c2\u00a0 Because the edgings are made with the same stitch count as the motifs I know they will match together easily.\u00c2\u00a0 I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve never tried to turn corners before with this pattern so that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s going to be the tricky part.<\/p>\n

Been working on a couple other things from the Priscilla books too, so I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll try to write about those soon as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
