These colors didn't combine as well as I had hoped.

I tatted several crosses for Christmas gifts, but had never made one for myself.

I was disappointed in the way the color combination worked out.  It looked like it would be a decent match when I compared the balls of thread.   Also, I did this pattern so many times for gifts that I think I am just tired of the pattern.

Maybe it will look better to me a few weeks from now.

Sometimes things do.  🙂
