It's taken me quite a lot of time and testing so far and I'm still not sure I've found a solution I'm completely happy with! That corner area between the medallions is proving tricky! The other complication is that you're working with just one shuttle on the last round where you are making all the rings which means you can only move from one place to the next by carrying the thread over (can't make chains). I'm looking for a solution that looks as close as possible to the original, which looks good of course, and executable with one shuttle only!
I've still decided to go with the first two rounds with a small modification and eventually cut all my testing bits so I could film the next part. Back to just the medallions:
If you're interested in tackling this collar, you can find the videos in this playlist.
And here's where I'm at now:
A bit more testing for the next round required but hopefully I'll come to a solution soon.
Best wishes,
Frivole
Your collar looks beautiful. I really don't think I have the patience to figure out the older patterns. I'm glad you do!
ReplyDeleteThanks Diane! They can be challenging but it's satisfying when you work it out. :-)
DeleteIt looks good as is, too, although it probably won't hold shape? Your patience and perseverance is amazing.
ReplyDeleteThank you Muskaan!
DeleteAbsolutely beautiful!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Sue!
DeleteIt’s quite a job to find the solutions, but you’re making good progress.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jane, I'm getting there! :-)
DeleteBeautiful! Looks like the curve of the collar is just right. Excited to see how you finish it!
ReplyDeleteThank you Marilee! I'm glad you found yours and it was great to see it on your blog. :-)
DeleteI have been saving the videos to watch them later and perhaps attempt this on my own (although I am not sure I have the patience). Perhaps it's time to watch them today!
ReplyDeletePlease let me know if you decide to make it! :-)
