Promise Produces Pulchritudinous Progress

Yup!

#9 Motif Challenge

Two more motifs to add.  This pattern had me confounded for quite a while with the dyslexia thing.... The pattern itself is rather simple. So frustrated that one night I almost wept and had to work on something different.  Such a bummer.  However, I worked through it and should be able to do the last two squares in fairly good time.


My New Winding Method For CTM
Works like a charm!



I have these tiny pretty-smelling soaps in the bathroom.  They have been there a long time and yet, all of a sudden I viewed them with a different eye... a squinting, discerning, designing tatting eye!  Do you see it?  It's everywhere I look now.  All fodder for the tatting table....



Ice Princess, from Germany, sent these fabulous threads from The Thread Exchange!  Aren't they great?  This is a thread I have never heard of - Perlovka. Gotta love T.T.E.  Even The Cat got excited...

  3. OMG what a great motif!! And the color is to die for!!! I miss you already!
    BTW, on my trip to SC nice woman asked me what was i doing (with your purple shuttle), I showed her, she loved it and it reminded me of you right away! I decided to give her one of my yellow clover shuttles and told her your story of a total stranger. I just had a feeling that I need to pass it on so she took it and promise to learn. Maybe we will see her online soon too :)))) Thank you for inspiration :)

  6. agasunset - loved your story about the yellow, Clover shuttle! Makes me happy that someone has actually passed along not only the tool, but the tatting story! Great!

    tatskool - Awful alliteration always attracts this appallingly long-winded dyslexic!

    Thanks for noticing!

  8. Hey Fox!
    THAT motif in THOSE colors is going to look AWESOME en masse!

    Glad you got a picture of the soap so you can wash your hands without obliterating that pretty pattern. :)

    I have also noticed the world is FULL of motifs! There is a quilting book at our library that I STALK because I think it would translate well to tatting.

    I used to think Sherry's assertion in her blog title that tatting was an obsession was a bit strong - now I am in agreement...
