Emma: Lightening up the edge

Emma with a trial big outer ring adding lightness to the design

Part of my reason to rework the Emma pattern was to lighten it up and breathe some more air into it. I’m adding this trial ring to see if this will do it. See my next post for the inspiration pattern I’ve used.

This image is the doily on the pillow I use while doing tatting – a good spot to smooth things out, and it keeps the work closer to me in my lap.
