I also love the 'star' pattern, which is one of my favorites. Fox added some colored beads (with blue being prominent) to the star back in 2010, and made it look really elegant!<br /><br />I'm so glad you're featuring a few of the patterns from this book! Marion T. Leyds, who is the designer for both 'Festive Tatting' and 'Tatting for Today', somehow managed to get the books published by DMC, but her name isn't prominently displayed. Unfortunately, we don't seem to know anything about her, and I'm very curious about her tatting history. These publications were available in the craft stores in the 1980s, at a time when tatting really was a 'dying art', and they helped to keep tatting 'visible' to the public. They certainly helped inspire me when I learned to tat in 1990 and saw the books in the stores! The projects seemed small enough and 'do-able', although I did wonder if I could ever follow the instructions! Several of the patterns were among the first items I made and still have today, hanging on my tree!

Sometimes I wonder if I go on too much for my readers! :-)<br />But yes, in this case, I had to add 4 stitches to the chains to make it fit (that's quite a lot extra, isn't it?).

Your 'ramblings' (as you call it) have helped me figure out what is going on - why my chains never seem long enough when working some vintage patterns....and why other things don't always 'work,' also.
