Seems to me, that is my current state. Late hours, learning how to be a blogger and trying to get some tatting done, get my reading done, catch up on phone calls, and finish a blanket for my grandson.
The latter is crocheted, and I am LONG past wanting to do anything with the big hook, now that I have entered into TATRIMONY with the shuttle. GROAN - I know, bad.......
The good news is that I am really getting the hang of the Cluny leaf. Here is my latest attempt, not finished, but I am sooooo excited about how it is looking, after so many disastrous beginnings.
Whose thread is this? I forget , but I LOVE it. (the pink and peach) The green is Cebelia #20. Speaking of thread, I cannot believe that I have amassed so much HDT. This is the result of lurking at night on the Net with my Visa too close to the keys.......
I am going to start to use it, rather than hoard it. I realize I forget about it as it sits out of sight in a cupboard, and I use my ordinary thread most of the time. Enough of that!
From now on, I will commit TATROMANCY (magical meanderings with rings, chains and picots,) with this gorgeous stuff!
Mmmmmm HDT!
ReplyDeleteI just got my first skein today and I think I'm hooked.....but I was in danger of just letting it stay the way it was all pretty in it's neat little skein.....so I made myself unwind it onto a card. This is the first time I'm haveing to choose a pattern to suit a thread color :-)
Anyway, love your blog. good stuff.

Can you please share with me where you found this pattern? I'm still convinced I've got to try the cluny.
ReplyDeleteBonnie, Sue Hanson's pattern: If you Google, "small motif using cluny leaves," you will see the pattern.
ReplyDeleteGive it a go.... It is so much fun!
