New week new project.
Hello everyone! On June 17, my competition for the best name for tatting doily ended. Ah, how many beautiful names, how many kind words I received! It’s amazing! I am extraordinarily inspired. And after a wonderful weekend (I hope your weekend was also good!) I start my new week with a new project.
I decided to use an interesting technique for the center of this doily. It looks like bobbin lace, doesn’t it?

I want to call this doily “Wheel of Time”. Because the alternation of dense and airy rows reminds me of the running of time in our lives. I think each of you has come across “long” days when time goes on endlessly. And I know there are so “swift” days that fly by like an instant. This is the wheel of time that moves without stopping, then slowing down, then accelerating. Zoe Carbajales came up with this name. I hope she will not mind using this name for my new project.
Previous option
So, I did this project 7 years ago. And the previous version of this template looked like this.

Now I decided to slightly change the general appearance, changed the color and thickness of the threads. I’m very interested in your opinion on the title. Therefore write in the comments, please. Is the “Wheel of Time” suitable for this doily?
By the way, pay attention to the personalized shuttle that I use. Do you want one for yourself? Check out my store, please: https://fairylace.kozinenko.com/product-category/patterns-tutorials/tatting-tools/
You can also watch a video on my YouTube channel, welcome: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0zrZP-a6dQ&list=UU3dn4_9pp7tIKA2k564wLBQ
So, I will try to finish the pattern at the end of the week. Anyway, I will try! But after tat, I will need to draw a graphical diagram in a computer program, write instructions and mount a video tutorial. Yes, I plan to add a video to this manual. Do you think the video helps a lot? Or is it a waste of time? Oh, I’m talking about time again! Write your opinions in the comments.

Thanks so much for the great title, Sue!
“ Cyclone “ because that’s what a cyclone looks like from a satellite perspective. 💐💕
Is very similar! Great name, thank you Lyn!
The center of it reminds me of Tenneriffe lace.
Yes, Joan, this is the same technique as Tenneriffe lace.
I do like the name! Videos are always helpful. Sometimes when I read directions I get stuck, and a video is a great way to understand what the designer means. I’m intrigued by the center of this doily!
Thanks for the kind words, Diane! I also think the video is useful.
I love the name “Wheel of Time”… it really seems to fit!
Thank You, Kathleen! I am pleased that You support me.
