So, after having closed up mum's apartment and gotten rid of all her worldly possessions, I was in a fine mood to blaze through my own place.
I have found two shuttles I like very much, but never use - I have many from LaCossette! - a couple of thread samples, a few findings and Bob's your uncle.
Leave me a comment if you would like to be the benefactor of my Tat-land stash-sacking and I shall use the old Random Number Generator on Saturday morning. I have 2 packages... There will be two winners.

Now, a question for you:
Pattern is from booklet: Making Many Merrily
Please add me to the list of very interested tatters. I love the La Cossette shuttles and am NOT over my limit yet. Thanks! susiearnholt@writeme.com
ReplyDeleteI too need to go through and purge too lol but I will enter in your purge away.
ReplyDeleteI can't help you on the pattern though. I have never seen that on.
Yummy goodies! I would happily receive either one, if I'm a lucky winner!
ReplyDeleteI love La Cossette's shuttles too :) Please include me in your hand-me-downs, I need more stash :)
ReplyDeleteOh, count me in too! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI have a number of Karey´s books, but can't recall this pattern.
I too would happily receive your cast aways : )
ReplyDeleteOddly enough I was just looking at that pattern last night in my search for something new to tat... but if you are having a tough time of it there is little hope for me! Maybe I will wait until you get it figured out, that way I can call on you for help!

I'd love to be one of the lucky recipients! As a newcomer to all these wonderful tatting blogs I've already learned so much!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, add me to the list of ransoms! I've never tried this pattern, it looks tough!
ReplyDeleteI really don't need another shuttle, and I should probably de-stash myself... however, you do have some lovely goodies there! No, no... don't enter me in the draw. I'd love to see who wins, though!
ReplyDeleteAs for the pattern... wow! You've undertaken a complicated one! I haven't seen it before. I'm really interested to see how it turns out.
I need to destash myself, but I'll be able to receive more stuff to play with....can you include some tatting time too :)
ReplyDeleteI would be more than happy to provide a quiet, peaceful home to any of your hand-me-downs :-)
ReplyDeleteI google account doesn't let me leave comments. Would you please enter me into your give-away.
ReplyDeleteI would love your hand-me-downs. Can always use another shuttle and string.

I would love to add to my small stash. I love reading your posts and check everyday for your updates.
ReplyDeleteI would love to be entered! I haven't done this pattern but it looks similar to an old DMC one I was trying for a hanky edging. I found that for it to lay/look right I needed shuttle+ball + shuttle (or three shuttles...three working threads)
ReplyDeleteI would love to have my name tossed in for your give-away. I'm slowly working on figuring out this lovely art of tatting :-)
ReplyDeleteI have a new young tatter in my house who would love to start a stash of her own with your cast offs! Heck I wouldn't mind them either. Which book is the Karey Solomon pattern from? I don't remember it.
ReplyDeleteI, too, would love to be entered...love La Cosettes shuttles, but have just one and would love to have a second as it rather complicates things to use 2 different types on the same project. Pretty threads also :-). The motif you are working on is pretty...but have not seen it before and can provide no assistance there.
ReplyDeleteI don't have any LaCossette shuttles and would love to own one. As for the pattern, I do have that book, but have not tatted that particular pattern. I know you will figure it out. Good Luck!!!
ReplyDeleteI found your blog a few months ago and have been following and loving the projects you have been doing! I have been dying to try to learn to tat and this would be a great incentive to jump in and try to get started! None of the hobby stores I frequent seem to have shuttles! I have been thinking about going ahead and ordering them online and trying to follow the instructions on YouTube! If I happened to be one of the lucky winners it would take one hurdle away! ;) Thanks for this opportunity! ! !
ReplyDeleteI wasn't going to enter any drawings this entire year, but I would dearly love to be put in for this one please, for number 2, I have the hardest time finding the yellows, and the right yellows at that, and I would sooooooo love that yellow thread, the shuttle and the beautiful tatting are incredible bonuses!
ReplyDeleteIf I were not a winner of number 2, and the winner would be interested in a trade with me of another ball of thread for the yellow, please let me know :)
That is one interesting pattern. It really caught my eye quick. I haven't heard of the booklet. I'm going to have to ebay/amazon and see if I can get a copy. I can't wait to see how yours turns out.
ReplyDeleteI have scribbled all kinds of notes on that pattern regarding when to rw, when to ss, and probably a few other things as well. When I get home, I'll scan my notes and send them to you.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Miranda.

Please count me in. I would love to have more beautiful La Cossette shuttles.
ReplyDeleteI have that book, but it may be next week before I can try the pattern. Just reading through the pattern, try this. On the 2nd and 3rd repeat, for the first chain, the one that goes around the ring down into the center of the motif. Ch: 7 + (to previous inward facing ring) 1 +LJ (to ring just made) 6 + (to previous inward facing chain) 4 - 6 +LJ (to ring just made) 1 - 7 +LJ (to base of ring). On the 4th repeat, the picots on this chain will be joins to the first repeat.
Very helpful, Martha. Thank you.

I love the La cosettes shuttles, I would love to have one.
ReplyDeleteInteresting motif.
Don't know how you can part with shuttles, I can never have to many so two more would be lovely. So please enter me. Not seen this pattern before looking forward to seeing it finished.
ReplyDeleteHi Fox!
ReplyDeleteI too would give a loving home to your hand me downs! La Cossette shuttles are among the closest things to perfection on Earth. I love them for working with fine thread.
I am sorry I can't help you with the pattern, I have never done any of Karey's I think...
Hi Fox
ReplyDeleteWill you add my name, your hand me downs look lovely.
I have not seen the booklet or pattern before you are working on, but look forward to seeing how you get on
Love to Gian
Take car hugs Margaret
I would love either one. What a generous offer. I have a new yellow hankie and no thread! Please count me in.
ReplyDeleteI would love either one. What a generous offer. I have a new yellow hankie and no thread! Please count me in.
ReplyDeleteWould love to be entered into your drawing. I can not help with your tatting problem as am a self taught tatter and have not been doing it that long so am still learning. Thank You for the chance!!
ReplyDeleteLily would like the chance to chew on a LaCossette shuttle! Add me, please!
ReplyDeleteOoo, it would be great to have more stuff to add to the stuff I already don't have a place for! Please add me to you random list. I'm off to sacrifice a shuttle to the random number gods...
ReplyDeleteOOOHHHHHH can I please be in the draw???????? PRETTY PLEASE WITH A CHERRY ON TOP!!!!!!!!! Sorry I can't help with the pattern as I am a complete beginner to tatting.
ReplyDeleteLuv Jane XX
I would be honored to be a recipient of your tatting stash/shuttle. Please add me to your list. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHow nice of you. Yes, count me in. Just me, I'm sure, but; I always have trouble with Karey's patterns.
ReplyDeleteOOOOOOhhhhhhhhhh.....gotta try for this one as haven't yet got a La Cossette shuttle (still in my to get list!). Can you ever have too many shuttles??? Don't be silly.....of course not!
ReplyDeleteThanks SO much Fox.
Oh, I would love to win a shuttle! Learning to tat is on my to do list and a shuttle would hasten that goal right along!
ReplyDeleteHi Fox,
ReplyDeleteI have read your blog for quite a while and always marveled at your creativity. I am a much slower tatter than you. So it seems since you can post updates so quickly!
I have never tried a LaCossette shuttle and am really wowed by the blinging on those two. Please consider me for either of the two. I would be pickled tink to win!
Thank you, Linda R
ooooh! I am back in tat land after being gone the last few days, and what do I read? Fox is having a give away.
ReplyDeleteboth packages look like fun.
Enter me please
Fox, you've overtaken me in tatting all the beautiful motifs, and I'm afraid I haven't got this pattern! Now I thought I have enough books to last me 5 lives! LOL
ReplyDeleteHand me downs like the ones you are offering can't be without good owners. I'm game, count me in! Thanks.
love the shuttles, and sorry cant help with the pattern.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty pattern, but no, I can't help with it. The shuttles and thread are so pretty!
ReplyDeletei'd love to join :)
ReplyDeleteOh! I love both packages and have a wonderful home for one (if I win)!!! I have not tatted that particular pattern and figure if YOU can't get it, there's no way I can!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to try a LaCossette Shuttle! Actually I've never tried any bobbin shuttle. Please count me in in your destash. Sadly, I don't know the pattern; I don't think I could be of much help.
