Working on Blue

I started worked on another needle tatted catholic rosary using DMC size 80 Blue varigated thread. I worked on making crosses on easter sunday, so now its the chain. I changed a couple of things that I thought could be improved. I really need to write down notes so I have a pattern to follow in the future.

Another view of the Needle tatted Catholic Rosary

Thought I'd post up a picture showing the entire needle tatted Rosary a little better. I started on another purple cross last night and still have a Blue size 80 thread Cross to finish off... I'm going to either give it a bookmark tail or tat a rosary chain for it. I need to pay attention next time as to how long it actually takes me to tat the chain. The crosses take 2-3 hours each. On the size 80 thread I find I cant move along as quickly as the size 10 or 20 thread because mistakes are extremely difficult to undo!

Before I can do any needle tatting today I have other stuff to finish... Chicken eggs need collected up and set. More yardwork needs complete. I'm puzzling over the best way to treat one of my best Barred japanese roosters as he seems to have hurt/injured one of his legs. I dont see any open wound or feel any break but I did move him into a cage I can bring inside and gave him some medicine.

I finally finished needle tatting a Catholic Rosary!
