Since yesterday's Sunbonnet Sue ended up with a ring wrong-side forward, I knew that I had to do another just to prove that I really could tat her. I'm still not in love with the pattern, but it tats up so easily (i.e. no natural stopping point so I don't really feel the need to put it down) that I might make a few more. I guess that depends on if anyone on my Christmas card list voices a fondness for Sunbonnet Sues. I'm a tad old-fashioned or something, so I'm used to people not agreeing with things that I like. *shrugs* It happens.
She's done in Lizbeth size 20, Harvest Gold (699) and Victorian Red (670). I think that I might try silver and blue for the next one again, but with the silver on the outside and blue for the chains. I'm trying to keep her Christmas-y so I'm avoiding the flowery threads that seem like they'd be a good fit.
I started a very scary (to me) pattern today, too. Hopefully, it will work out okay, but thus far it's only confirmed that I *hate* super large rings. (Is there any way to make a ring of 36 stitches look neat? I haven't mastered that skill yet.)
Hope you're all having a lovely day. The Giants are getting slaughtered, so it's probably about to become a cruddy night in my household. :-/
