25 Motif Challenge #14

Here is a necklace that I have been working on for awhile. I finally put myself on tat duty today LOL I forced myself to finish it. Allthough still not in much of a mood for anything its making me feel a bit better. I am starting to get a sore throat again, it sucks! I swear my immune system is tragically broken right now all this stress and crap isnt helping it along either UGH!!
Ok on to the tatting
This may be for a friend I am still not sure yet or my daughter will get it.

I really didnt write the pattern out too well maybe I will add it within a few days

Motif #12

Here is motif #12... A necklace (choker) for one of my best friends her Birthday was Wednesday but with work I didnt get it finished in time... I actually just got back home from mailing it a bit ago...

The pattern is so simple. its basically one huge chain.

You will need shuttle and ball do not cut the thread I used a size 3 thread in copper which matches the bead thing in the center.

CH: 10-8+(p)

Repeat CH 8 more times

CH: 50 cl

Cut Tie Hide ends...

Repeat for the other side, you can add clasps if you wish but mine is able to be tied and also when using smaller thread be sure to add more stitches.
