Bookmark Gift

I forget where this pattern came from;

I believe it is published in a French publication.

Perhaps it is one of my favourites as. Seem to have tatted it many times, 

this time with#40 Lizbeth., trying to use up this ball 

of my least favourite variegated thread.

 

Renulek's Lavender

Buttons 'n Bookmarks

 

Bored with the buttons so they became bookmarks. 

These are fun and very good small gifts 

for the library crowd.

Small motif by Blomquist and Presson.

My favourite one.

Again!

This thread looks quite different with other beads, blue thread for the chains instead of green and a blue button.

Compare:

Another, Once Again

Some of AlenAleaDesign's lovely HDT. 

#40 Macan

Fall Back

Because I must admit I have - for the second time - given up on the Maranta pattern, I shall also admit to a burgeoning addiction to passively enjoying button tatting. I feel as I imagine Diane might, as she tats away at her growing mountain of  Ice Drops.

Here is as far as I got on the pattern; I cut off the last wonky row:

The long chains were once again a complete disaster.

The third pair of socks had been completed and awaits delivery to the young mom and her little one..

Challenge Revisited

Now that another gift is completed, and I am sewing in the border to the second sock, I have decided to have another go at the challenge that I abandoned a few weeks ago.

Have a look HERE at what Umintsuru was able to accomplish:

That woman can really tat! Beautiful precise work.

Fulfilling A Request

Another magic button gift.

She wants blue and green, so...

Also in the works: the last pair in the package of three:

The pattern I employed, as you can see, is one of Frivole's and one 

of which I am particularly fond.  In pink, I think it is one of my faves. 

Thanks, Joëlle!

Oh! I forgot to post the first pair!!!
