Do you remember this pattern which I finished earlier this year?
Well it was meant to be a hexagon motif. I WANTED A HEXAGON. Simple you may think. Why didn't it work out? Lack of BC3 in the right frame of mind at the time and it all went wrong, wrong, wrong.
I've now recovered from that disappointment and decided to have another go. This time I thought I'd start with the outer row and make a hexagon - HOOORRRAAAAYYYYY. That worked. It's a true hexagon too. So, this is called the inside out hexagon. Well - at the moment.
See the centre? Pretty awful so it's going to be 'back to the drawing board for a while. To make it I used a lock chain, a chain, a vsp, a chain, a vsp and another lock chain again. Totally NOT happy with that idea!!!

There are 6 triangular-shaped negative spaces - would that be a starting point perhaps?
I'll ask BC3, Maureen!!!!
Looks good from where I am sitting!
Looks good to me, and I am sure it would be great for something, but I know for your BC3 you need to do more work on it!! :)
Looks good on this side of the pond! Come on over and have a look!! :o)

Oh so this is what you were working on :) love this shape and it is well needed. Seems like many tatting designers do the inside out thing :)
