Victorian edging patterns

I realised at the last Victorian weekend that I needed more samples using Victorian tatting patterns.


 Top two are really simple off the top of my head patterns and probably really similar to ones I've read somewhere in the various old tatting books.  They're using ecru thread not yellow - that's just my photo :)

The bottom one is from the Mlle Riego Royal Tatting book and is called "Lilly of the Valley pattern". This is my first attempt at this pattern and it even features the first bit of crochet I've done in years!  I felt my crochet was a bit too wobbly so on the right half of the top edging I've gone for a tatted chain instead.  It will hopefully look less wobbly if I press it.
