This delicate yellow hyacinth was planted a few years ago and barely made it up before it was drooping. I don't know if one of the cats laid on it or what but I decided to cut it and bring it in. Maybe it will be bigger next year.


I finished the ring doily last night and blocked it after soaking in some oxyclean. The problem with white thread is that it doesn't take much to make it look soiled. This is tatted in size 20 thread and is about 4 inches across.


A few other early Spring flowers. I really need to separate and move these bulbs. It was there when I bought the house in 1977. I'm sure they would do much better in a different location.

  2. Yep, just rings and chains - nothing fancy. I did do a split chain at the very end just because I thought it might look better than making the ring and then the last ch3 ds for the last join but I don't think it did. It's a little bit of an awkward spot no matter how you do it.

  6. Hi Gina,
    I checked back to see this pattern, because I really like it - I thought I'd already commented on it, but I don't see me.... So - I love the simplicity of this piece. And I love white. Sometimes I forget how perfect it can be all by itself.
