New thread often inspires, I find. Keeps the interest way up. I am tatting this again (Karey Solomon's Mosaic pattern) with some Altin Basak I received in the mail from Margaret last week.
Thanks Margaret! It is a nice change form the Lizbeth that I use all the time. Nice colours too.
I am trying that centre chain with 12 ds as opposed to 14 - it is working much better.
Being in dire need (HA!) of new tatting material, I ordered a booklet last night when I saw it was only a couple of dollars - including the postage! I had just been inspired by reading Crazy Mom's blog; she posted about this recent purchase here. She is a shameless enabler. There. I've said it.
The hankie, you ask?
Almost done.
... with a little help from my friends ...
Pretty, isn't he?
: )
You've done a great job with this pattern. The one with 14 ds looked pretty good but I agree, 12 ds looks better. Beautiful thread color, too.
ReplyDeleteHi, Wanda,
DeleteYes - it really makes a big difference. I just blocked it and the proportions are much better - thanks!
Fox : )
Your tatting is lovely and I am especially jealous of your handkerchief.
ReplyDeleteHi, Lolitadewdrop,
DeleteIt is just a $1.00 store hanky and a very simple edging - You can tat one too!
Fox ; ))
Your new mosaic is looking stunning!!! :)
ReplyDeleteDoing really well on your hanky edging there!!! :)
Thanks, Sue!
DeleteFox : )
He is quite the handsome devil! Loving that mosaic!
ReplyDeleteHi, Michelle,
DeleteI love this pattern - it is really fun to tat!
Fox : )
Beautiful tattings! Love the color of the blue thread you used! And yes, your kitty friend is beautiful! ;)
ReplyDeleteHi, Allison,
DeleteThank you - about my tatting and about my little buddy!
Fox : ))
Beautiful work and beautiful friend, Gian!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Marta!
DeleteFox : )
M. Gian is soooo handsome! Too bad he's many miles from Miss Lily!
ReplyDeleteSorry to be the enabler. You got a good price! FYI - there are a ton of pineapple crochet patterns in the booklet.
Hi, CM,
DeleteI hope there are at least a few tatting patterns in there aside from the one that Jeff tatted! Good deal though...
Fox ; )
Hi Fox
ReplyDeleteLooking very nice in those colours, I have not used them yet so it's nice to how they are going to look.
He's a pretty boy or should I say beautiful. Give him my love.
Margaret
Ps if you need a little more to finish it let me know.
Hi, Margaret,
DeleteThank - I think I should have more than enough! You sent along quite a bit!
Fox : )
Ooh! I love that blue! Bet you're surprised by that statement!
ReplyDeleteI really need to get back to hankie edgings... I think I have three in progress right now. :-)
You have SO MUCH on the go, Diane! THREE hankies???
ReplyDeleteFox : ))
The progress on your Mosiac adventure is riveting -- love how you have tweaked it to be tatted all in one go. And your handkerchief is nearly done!
ReplyDelete(*mumbles* I have a hanky edging in progress too that is sorely in need of some attention.)
So much to tat, so little time!
