I would like to tat one but am not sure how big to go. I suppose I could guess based on the diameter of a spool, & just make it a little bigger....

I use a size 7 hook with DMC size 8 pearl cotton thread. It comes in lots of dreamy colors and is easy to work with. A local quilt shop sells for big stitch quilting. I prefer size 12 for red work embroidery instead of floss. <br />I had not thought of a magic circle so will be trying that this evening.<br />Dorothy Mathesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12353546725820007288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-91047765512414898872013-08-18T13:09:14.548-04:002013-08-18T13:09:14.548-04:00Hi, I have seen mnay like it but It is best of all...Hi, I have seen mnay like it but It is best of all thanks for the sharing and just keep up the good work.<br /><br /><a href="http://trickstoearn.info/" rel="nofollow">Online Earn</a>Emma Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09560081752024976464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-26561390099740388862013-08-18T10:55:41.113-04:002013-08-18T10:55:41.113-04:00I wonder how many people know the reasoning for ev...I wonder how many people know the reasoning for even having the felt/doily.<br />Like the spool caps on newer machines it helps create friction to keep the thread spooling freely but not too fast. Without them sometimes the thread would drop down and get wound around the spool pin Sharyn Mallow Woerzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17776056375534578046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-71899258941397496842013-08-18T08:16:46.038-04:002013-08-18T08:16:46.038-04:00Send my thanks to Carol.

Think I have that down now but I too wondered about the size hook (one video said 5) and what weight yarn she is using. I can't get the hook (no pun intended) up with her email to work on my computer for whatever reason. So Carol, if you are out there could you give us those 2 pieces of information. This is so generous of you for sharing!!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04903604459098442693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-32668330645317358322013-08-18T08:13:45.279-04:002013-08-18T08:13:45.279-04:00Thanks, Carol for your generosity and thank you, B...Thanks, Carol for your generosity and thank you, Bonnie for posting it for us!Dottiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00946826170058620651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-87398677922883483562013-08-18T07:42:19.124-04:002013-08-18T07:42:19.124-04:00So kind of Carol to share her pattern.
