The new big project -nuntium centesimum sexagesimum duodeseptuagesimum

After I completed the Quatrain, it was wonderful- light, free relaxing.  Nothing to finish.  I made crosses and snowflakes and goofed around.  Then I floundered.  Should I made Renulek's doily?  Should I make something from one of the hundreds of books?  And still I floundered.  Then I saw it- the shawl.  On a blog I couldn't read.  With no pattern only a length and width.

Well, why not?  I had all this strange Romanian thread which was given to me by the kindest lady.  It wasn't white, wasn't a color, has a strange slight elasticity to it so why not just leap into something new?

So I did.  And I've been working on the mail part since January.  Here's a photo:

Well, then I started this blog post and I thought- I'll show the original link so people can see where I'm going with this.  And in an epic knucklehead move, I didn't bookmark the link, I didn't pin it on pinterest, I didn't download the picture to my computer, I didn't do a screenshot or anything else.  (All of these I would usually do in my usual brilliant overkill style.)  The original blog was Hungarian or Polish- I don't even remember that- as if I could do a search in either of those languages since I don't know what the original said.
I do remember the original blog had other things than just tatting and that the blogger wasn't a prolific poster, that's all.  I even went through the 377 blogs that I follow (okay not the technology, Latin or archeology ones) in hopes of finding it.

The final product ought to be interesting.  Tee hee.
