Ten Toes Trump Tatting

No time for fingers last week. Instead, I walked for many, many miles and managed but a few meagre repeats of the pattern I had taken along.

Only this little bit of an edging was begun, in #80 variegated Lizbeth from Denise, following Jon's Crown of Thorns pattern, which I find to be a very pleasing design for a hankie border.  Thanks, Jon!


Before I left, I was able to get this finished.  
It is Karey’s Plain and Fancy Doily,  Jess’s HDT, #40
and Delica beads from Miranda.

      Hi, Ladytats,

      I almost never have a home for things I tat, though I managed to sneak a couple of motifs (one that I really love) into an envelope along with the cheque for the lovely lady who looks after Gian while I am away. I am not sure she even likes tatting, as she has never said anything about the enclosures!!! Around the new year I left her a couple as well. Perhaps it is better that I do not know what happens to my lovely little bits!

      This one is still an orphan.... Fox ; )

    You're so brave with colours!

    Might I ask what thread your edging is in?

    Sometimes our toes MUST trump tatting for other beautiful sights!

    Yay, you're back!! Isn't it amazing to just walk walk walk walk in Paris? My feet had never hurt so bad! But it was totally worth it. Hope you had a great time and found some amazing thread! Can't wait to read all about it. And that doily is just beautiful. I love your color choices!
