Mine, Martha's and Mangled Mary's

I rather like reds these days.

I do like this pattern if I say so myself!  

For me, it is just fun to tat.

I think I like the doodads.  : ))

Then there was this...

HDT from Charlette  

Lizbeth #40 - beautiful colours!   #57

So smug was I; there were NO mistakes in Mary Konior's delightful 'Masquerade.' None, that is until I saw it!  Yup, there it is: the classic 'forgot to add the join to the last picot' trick.  Forgot  an entire chain as well...

So, I have put the offending bit on the bottom and the motif almost, almost looks as if it is supposed to have a smaller arm (and missing picots as well!).

But, in spite of the mangling, it is a marvellous design. This is a very enjoyable pattern to tat and lends itself very well to varieagated threads and beads - next time, BEADS!

Moving along... I have to send my apologies to Martha for her patience. She was trying to help me in a sensitive and most diplomatic manner,  and all the thanks she got was a flurry of panicky emails from yours truly, as I attempted to fix my pattern page and got myself in a right pickle!  Sorry Martha!

Her suggestion was well-founded, however; I think I have the Athalia pattern fixed, here.

She was also kind enough to send me a photo of her depiction of Athalia, using buttons! Take a look:

Isn't this great?  Thanks, Martha. 

Takes the pattern out of the land of frills and gives it some punch!

UPDATE

In over two years, so far, Angeline has visited 18 tatters in her global Tat-land journey. This is less than half of the folks on the list waiting to read the 'Let's Tat,', because there are still 20 more locations to which she must travel!

If everyone co-operates and keeps the book for about three weeks each, the trip will be completed, not counting travelling postal days, in approximately 14 more months - unless my math skills have also evaporated along with everything else these days!  Correct me if I am wrong here, please!

Everyone seems to be enjoying the read, from the feedback I have had, so the wait is worth it!
