The Daffodil and the Knot




 At this guild meeting, I brought along a newly acquired book, Ostern - Easter Motives by Christel Weidmann. The beautiful tatted daffodils on the cover intrigued me and I decided to try one of the patterns at the meeting. Oops, I was at a loss as to how to start! Not much progress on that project! Later, I discovered features in the book that made the pattern easy!
  • The small "Narcissus" I was trying to tat was a variation of the larger daffodil pattern, so some of the written instructions depended on techniques explained in more detail in the larger daffodil
  • There's a glossary page with translations to English from the German abbreviations
The pattern is really very well written and a great design!

A big knot was found in a ball of thread. Frustrating when that happens!

A crocheted edging started in size 3 thread.

Have really missed going up to meet with all the nice ladies. The daffodil is very pretty. I did one years ago, but don't even remember anything about it now. One day, I will tackle it again..! Sure miss all you lovely ladies..
