Book Review on Tatted Doilies
Guest Author - Gillian Buchanan

Iris Neibach of Tatting Online has produced a lovely book of tatted doilies, published by Forlaget Akacia. The collection contains fourteen patterns, three of which are variations of one doily pattern. The doilies are mainly worked in one piece from start to finish, though there are three which are worked in rounds. Patterns are entirely diagrammatical in style so you will need to understand the different techniques used in each before you start.

These designs on the whole are quite elaborate with many interesting techniques though Iris's style is clean and uncluttered. The work is mainly designed for two shuttles with involved paths through the pattern. The doilies are all photographed in white thread though it would be possible to work some of them in multiple colours; careful study of the pattern will be required to determine whether this is appropriate for the doily you are planning to work.

Although these are relatively advanced patterns, it's a lovely little booklet and not at all expensive. The use of technique alone is so interesting that if you wish to learn to design tatting this delightful little booklet will be one worth having on your bookshelf in order to study the techniques and design style.
