Mystery Tat-along

Georgia Seitz mystery doily has come back alive!  Tat-a-Renda has started a Facebook page titled Georgia’s Mystery Doily Tat-along.  Not to late to join if your interested.

Georgia had seen this doily in an antique store and was intrigued.  She published the doily online and invited tatters to solve the mystery of creating a pattern.  Vicki Reynolds and Patricia Dowden came up with a pattern.  They are similar but each has a slightly different count.  

I had made this doily years ago.  Seemed to me I really had to tat tight to make the chains fit between the clusters of rings.  This time, everything seems to be playing nice.  

Round 1 is complete.  Using Cebelia size 20 thread.  I don’t need another project; however, I am at a stopping point with my temperature tat-along.  I run out of a color and waiting for it to come back in stock.  So since I can not tat any further on it, the mystery doily will fill in the void.

This is my second start.  While doing Round 1, I noticed I had an extra picot in two separate areas.  I decided to start over and reverse the colors.  I think the green will pop the negative space more than the blue.
