I've done a practice tat of the next round (Round 2) and have just begun to tat onto the foundation round.

Update on the Benporath Edging
It has been hard to find time to tat, but I have really enjoyed working on this edging. I've finished the inner round (Round 1). Norma's instructions have you making two consecutive joins to connect to the corner picots between two motifs. I chose to interpret this by completing the 2nd half of the DS after the first join before making the 2nd join and I really like the effect (see the closeup). This actually results in a ring with one more double stitch than the other rings on either side of it.

Looks like a pretty flower garden.
Very beautiful :-)
The corner join does look very neat & even. I Love the colours you have used !
This is beautiful love your tatting and color choice. I am confused is there more tatting to be done? It is so pretty the way it is!
Thanks, Jane, muskaan, and Madtatter. I'm trying to keep that flower garden look with my choice of threads for each round. And, yes, there is more tatting to come. Two rounds will be worked around the outside of the foundation round of squares. I admit that I, too, think it looks lovely just as it is. If I don't like the final result of the next two rounds, I can always cut it off back to this spot, but I'm eager to see what Norma had in mind with the original design.
That looks wonderful and fabulous colors too!! :)
That is a beautiful edging! I love your color choices!
