Pattern taken from 'The Workbasket' March 1989. I did use a different rose then the pattern used, using another 'The Workbasket' pattern from a Tatted Keepsake Doily.
Tatted in Lizbeth size 20 thread.
When I started this yesterday, I had completed the rose, and was on the 2ND 'arm' of the cross when I noticed I had 7 petals of the rose instead of 6! OH NO!! Nothing I could do but start over...with a new one. oh well. So, my advice to you is to count, count, count and count again!!! OH well...
This one went to Lori, who I work for. She and her husband re-newed their wedding vows and had it bless in a Catholic church. Her colors were: she wore champagne, the girls wore black and all carried red roses.

Your tatted cross is lovely, even with a mistake. You're right that counting stitches is very critical and important for tatters, but many and perhaps even most non-tatters will be thrille to get a tatted gift and likely won't notice the error, no matter how glaring it is to you. Yours is a lovely blog.
Looks pretty darned good from here! I think only you can see the flaw.
