Round and Round and Round it Goes

Here's another doily with no pattern. (This is just on the scanner -- and it's too big, but you can get the general idea.) See? It's got the same center as the blue one, but the bigger it got, the more changes I made. Not a very efficient way to create something! The color change allowed for better placement of some elements, but it still got difficult to move from one row to another and started to overlap. I rather like it, but never blocked it because I ran out of the light-colored thread. I think I've ordered more since this one was stuffed in the drawer. I'll have to look and see. If I've got more then I can finish this round. Then if I hunt up some of the dark thread, maybe there's a good starting place for another round there somewhere.

Interesting but I have not finished the tat along mat yet and I have done other Christmas bits, perhaps after Christmas when I might finish the tat along

That is a beautiful doily. I am amazed you could do something that extensive and complicated without a pattern. Impressive!

I hope you will finish it, it's too good to be abandoned!

I think I like the colour change more than the straight blue.... Might even be tempted to add a third to the outside, depending on the ratio to the other two. But that's just me... It's really pretty.
