At the top is some Etruscan braid from a Mlle Riego book - it's also in a Mary Konior book where she gives the directions for the corner. This is going to be the edging for a tray cloth for Victorian/Edwardian re-enactment. It's in size 16 Puppets Eldorado thread.
In the middle is more Etruscan braid, this time in size 40 Anchor mercer. This is the piece I was tatting in public over last weekend (a bank holiday weekend) during the Victorian Weekend at Lincoln Castle. This will probably become trimming for the cuffs of my next Edwardian-style blouse.
At the bottom is Curds and Whey from one of Mary Konior's books, again in size 40 Anchor mercer. After the first few repeats I switched to front-side/back-side tatting and that is making it lie much flatter than the first portion.
