Simple, simple.

Inspired by Fox's project, I decided it was time I also tackled a new hanky.  Seems like ages since I made one.  Mother-in-law will be pleased, she needs a new one for her collection.  But for a change from (one of!) my other current project which is the slightly more complicated butterfly doily, I fancied something really simple, with one shuttle only.

Here is what I started:

Ok, started counting again and this is motif 7 of second 25-motif challenge

I'm making holes with a large needle right on the edge of the hanky as I go along and attaching the little rings into the holes.  I don't often attach as I tat, but in this case, I thought it would work well.  I improvised the corner when I got to it and am only eyeballing the distance between the holes.  So, as you can see, this is a really "chilled out" project.  Easy.

Best wishes,

    Very nice! The thread is perfect for that sweet hankie. You will be done in no time - not like someone else, struggling with un-tatting every fourth repeat - in #80 yet!
