Anyway, I was watching TV and got started… then once I'd done the first repeat I thought I was fine and didn't need to look at the pattern again. I soon realised I'd gone wrong but decided to complete the motif anyway rather than start again. This is the result.
It was quite a tight fit to get all the little rings in but I managed to make it lay flat for a scan. I particularly like the centre with the overlapping rings. This morning, I decided to re-tat it, as per the pattern!
This is what it should have looked like!
Quite different, isn't it?
I actually like the look of both versions. But the proper, green version, does behave better as there's not so much tension between all the elements.
Best wishes,
Frivole
Wow that is a good mistake! lays flat and looks great. It's funny how it gives it a totally different look!
ReplyDeleteNice way to put it, and I totally agree with you..
DeleteBoth are pretty, it's difficult to say which I like better. The round one looks like the start of a doily. Now you just have to keep going with your redesign to make it bigger :-P
ReplyDeleteBoth are really great!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI like yours better. (Waiting anxiously for my purple shuttle, hoping you get to ship before your trip. GLEE)
ReplyDeleteI rather like the first one. The second is very nice, but the first is good.
ReplyDeleteIf I hadn't seen the your 'mistake' first I would have liked the original, but I like your version better. Even if it's harder to make it lay flat
ReplyDeleteYours looks more complete - the original looks as though it should have another round joined to it.
ReplyDeleteBoth look lovely even your mistake has still made a nice motif.

Sometimes mistakes can be a blessing in disguise. I think both your motifs look great.
ReplyDeleteYours is lovelier than the original!
ReplyDeleteI love unintentional designs. They're the surprises my fingers make for me when my brain isn't looking.
ReplyDeleteYours has invited herself and has announced her own name - Serendipity! I'm sure with a little tweaking in the design you can domesticate her without crushing her spirit or personality. ;-)
Both doilies are very elegant. I like yours a lot, nice color as well.
ReplyDeletefantastic mistake - like both versions :)
ReplyDeleteI call it a " happy mistake". Your motif turned out so pretty! Is that DMC Babylo Pale Blue?
ReplyDeleteHi Laura, I do use Babylo but those two motifs are made with Lizbeth.
ReplyDeleteBoth are so pretty!!!
ReplyDeleteI like them both also.
ReplyDeleteWhen I want to watch something on the TV, I first have to get it started just so I know what I'm doing. Mistakes are still sometimes made..
