My First Hanky Edging


This is my latest project! It will be a handkerchief edging for a bridal hanky for my sister's wedding in May. The edging is done in size 20 Lizbeth thread in colors #688 Seagreen Dark and #692 Mocha Brown Dark. These are her wedding colors. The pattern can be found in Tatting Patterns by Lyn Morton. It is called "Pansy Edging". I have never done a handkerchief edging before, so this is a new adventure for me:-) I know it doesn't look much like Pansies, but I really like how it is turning out so far, and my sister absolutely loves the colors!

    Thank you Sally:-) I was a little unsure at first, because flowery edgings are usually pink, or purple, or yellow, or some such mix, but this is a very bold combination. The farther along I'm gone the more I like it, and I am glad my online friends do too! And of course the bride must love it, and she does:-)
