West Side Tatting

There's a roll for us.
Somewhere a roll for us,
Thirty stitches, we're almost there,
Hold the thumb,
Don't be scared.
Hold it.  Squeeze it.
We'll find a new way of tatting,
Shuttle the Lupins for Mary,
Someday...

I cannot take credit.  Sewmuchfun kindly interpreted the pattern for me with words, almost as soon as I begged for help, stopping an epic hissy fit of dyslexic torment dead in its tracks. Sharpshooter is she.

This one's for you, Ann!

Afterthought:  This could be a copyright issue, but it is also a teaching thing for folks like me.  I am taking a chance and letting it stand, with all credit give to Mary Konior, hoping I am not stepping on toes or breaking laws. This is only well-intended and to be used for personal use and not  for profit in any way.

  1. AWESOME FOX! You've done a BEAUTIFUL job with Mary Konior's Lupins pattern. You're rolls are looking SO smooth!

    And THREE tatting songs in ONE night!!! You and Isdihara could supply sing-along material for the next Tat Days (if they have a sing-along, that is). I LOVE your "West Side Tatting." It truly captures the way I felt as I blundered my way through my first few rings of Lupins!

    Thanks for hosting, "Tatology - The Musical" tonight - I'm REALLY enjoying it!

    :) Ann

  4. Sewmuchfun4 is right again! Your rolls are so smooth. I bet you're also light on your feet, aren't you?

    Ooh, your West Side Tatting is so classy! (And here I sit with "Buffalo Girls" stuck in my head...how do these lyrics get IN there?!?)

    "Buffalo Girls won'tcha come out tonight, come out tonight, come out tonight...

    [skipping to the last part -- you'll thank me later]

    And TAT by the light of the moon!"
