What a lovely doily. What are the stich counts and types? Are those josephine knots on the leaves?

Oh this is just beautiful. And wonderfully tatted. Kudos! Bev:thmbup:

[shindeco]

Hmmm... tried to attach the pattern as a .pdf file in the original post but it doesn't seem to have worked. Any ideas the best way to get that up?

(Mercy: the leaves are just chains with joins very close together. The only slightly unusual stitch is the wrong-side picot used at the very tips of the leaves)

Wonderful work! Thanks to InTatters for bringing so many creative tatters into the fold.

[Liyarra]

That looks absolutely beautiful. What an honour for your exchange partner that you have taken the time to do something so thoughtful and beautiful.
Thank you for sharing the pattern. It is surely one people will want to do.
Have a lovely Christmas.

[Dawn]

Exquisitely done! :D

[Maureen L]

Did you manage to post the pattern for this gorgeous doily, shindeco? - it's going to become a classic!
Congratulations- I'm dying to try it!

[mamajotats]

WOW!!!! WOW!!!! and WOW!!!! I MUST do this doily! My mother would love this one better than anything I have done yet. And so will I. Thanks for sharing. I hope you got the pattern uploaded somewhere and I can find it. I have to say again, WOW!!!!!

[Valerie]

Maybe it's too big to be attached? There is a size requirement.
If it's too big and you don't have any other possibility to host the pattern please notify me. I can put it on my webspace and link it to the forum.

[shindeco]

Ice Princess,

You are so right!! I had included the photo in the document and was WAY over the limit. Even removing the photo leaves me 2.1 kB over!

Let me stew on this; I may take you up on your kind offer!

[shindeco]

OK, I've finally managed to put up a (temporary) link to the actual pattern. It's in the original post and also here (http://www.linguistics.ubc.ca/sites/default/files/Holly%20Doily%20for%20Deb.pdf).

Thanks to all those who said such complimentary things. If anyone else makes this I'd love to see the results. It's always flattering when someone else makes a pattern that you've designed.

[Mogs]

beautiful and thanks for the pattern too!

Amazing & Fantastic.
Wow, I love it!
Congratulations, and beautiful tatting. :thmbup:

Thank you! thank you for sharing this pattern. The double effort (designing the pattern and then trying to make the computer to do what you want instead of what it thinks you should want it to do) is greatly appreciated.

[BahmaTerri]

It's beautiful! Thanks for sharing the pattern!

[Sonja]

It's lovely. I will sure try to make it. Thank you

[yoyaespi]

What a fantastic ........

[mamajotats]

Thanks for the pattern. I have already started it from the picture. Now i will be able to get the next row done correctly. I have done good so far visually. I will post it when I get it done. Probably won't be till after Christmas though.

[Deann]

Lovely!

[Deann]

Thank you for sharing the pattern. I have so many to try I need to live to 150 just to get to them all I suspect. Well, maybe I will get faster and then I can try more of them. I am so impressed with the group of people on this site. I never fail to be inspired when I come on here.

[delseylynne]
