I Love Lock Chains!

I recently received my latest purchase from Jess at Tat-ilicious:  some Jade n Salmon thread.  Lovely.  So last night I was playing around, wondering what to make with my new thread.  I thought how much I like lock chains when they are made with two colours... I made a quick sketch of an idea and tatted it straight off!  Never done that before.  One go and there it was.




The thread is gorgeous but as I made it, I thought how much nicer it would look with two different colours instead of a variegated.  So I made this next version in purple and gold.


I just love the look of those lock chains in two colours!






I may add this pattern to my Etsy store.
And it's done in one pass (just the way I like it!)
You could even add picots on the ends and join motifs...
I'll have to give that a try.


And I've not forgotten about the Beaded Shuttle Bags.  That's coming up soon.


Best wishes,

    Fabulous new design! I do hope you are able to share it. Both doodles are impeccible and gorgeous, but I am drawn more to the purple and gold. (Could it be my love of purple?)

    Well done!

    I would certainly buy that pattern! It's so pretty! I love both color schemes, but you're right, the chain shows up better with two solid colors.

    Love the look of this one - I think I like the purple and gold better, but I always like a lot of contrast.
