Slight Change to Side Pieces Design

Olde West Inspiration

Good morning, dear readers!

Yesterday was full of "catching up chores"- a grocery store run, laundry, and a general cleaning of the Atelier.  I did finish both of the side pieces for the Plain Jane Project and have made a slight change- but only to the last of the ICRs that you will be joining together as you tat.

 

 

(Sorry the image is so bad.  It is overcast this morning and I had to use a flash.)

 

To form the side pieces, you will need to tat a series of 12 ICR motifs joined together with the following counts:

ICR 11 very small- 11 CL

ICR 11 followed by 3 very small -s 11 CL

ICR 11 very small - 11 CL

ICR 11 followed by 3 very small -s 11 CL

Tie, hide ends & cut.

 

For the next ICR motif:

ICR 11 + 11 CL

ICR 11 followed by 3 very small -s 11 CL

ICR 11 very small - 11 CL

ICR 11 followed by 3 very small -s 11 CL

Tie, hide ends & cut.

 

When you reach the 12th ICR motif, tat with these counts:

 

ICR 11 + 11 CL

ICR 11 followed by 3 very small -s 11 CL

ICR 11 followed by 3 very small - 11 CL

ICR 11 followed by 3 very small -s 11 CL

Tie, hide ends & cut.

 

How are things tatting up for y'all?  Are you ready for the next step on the side pieces?  I'll be perfecting the counts for them today after I return from running errands and having lunch with a very dear uncle.  R.D. and I share the same birthday and first two initials.  He is 88 this year!

 

Well, Rosie Fey is spinning at the door.  Guess I had better take her out and get moving.  It's going to be a busy day in the Piney Woods again.  Until tomorrow~

Happy Tatting!
