Nasty bug

There's a nasty bug going around, and I caught it! It's been two full weeks, and I still have a lingering cough. If you start to feel sick, please tack extra precautions. I don't wish this one on anyone!I finally decided on my Christmas ornament for this year, inspired by these adorable candy buttons that I found on Amazon. The pattern is very simple. I used size 20 Lizbeth thread. For the first round, all rings are 6-6-6-6, and chains are 6-6. Three rings are joined to each hole, and all rings are joined with the side picots. I joined the final chain with a lock join and proceeded to the second round.For the second round, chain 6, lock join to picot from first round, make a self closing mock ring of 5 picots with one double stitch in between each picot. Close the self closing mock ring, chain 6, lock join to base of ring from first round. Tie off and hide ends.I'm adding a date charm to the back of each ornament. I only have four finished so far. I'd better get tatting!
