It’s A Wrap For Row Eight

End of Row #8 

(un-blocked)

11 1/2 inches so far

Ready to begin Row #9...

Honey Napkin designed by Renulek

I am glad to have begun this, but I will also be very glad now when it is complete. It is a LOT of tatting! And I am worrying that Renulek is probably about to release the next row on the other massive work - the Snowflake Doily.  Woe....

Mail today:

These are wonderful little helpers. I hope that they 

do not lose their shape and that they remain effective:

Clever, eh?

Later:  

A lot of you asked where I got these:

I am not endorsing this site - though the service and price was very good - for there are numerous places like eBay that sells them; even Amazon does, but they were very expensive there. You have to look around and consider mailing costs...

Conquered - The Celtic Picot!

Thank you to those who read my frustration, and in the last post explained it to me. I got it! Sometimes I have to read many different wordings for the instructions to make sense; Shannon-in-love’s  hit the spot!

TA-DA!

This is, of course, one of Jennifer WIlliams’s patterns.

I love it. And the technique is well worth mastering.

I had some left over thread - Lizbeth, sent to me by Ladytats,
so I tatted a small Mary Konior motif - always wonderful.

I liked these colours well enough to order a ball of it this weekend. 

There are some great sales to be had at Bestitched - till Monday . 

Thank you, Nancy!

See what happens when you clear out your stash - you order more! 

I was very restrained - only two balls and I had sampled one
of them before I relented and sent in my request.
So, I am proud of myself.   : ))

Lastly, a small re-arrangement in my small kitchen...

Teiko Fujito patterns tatted in Ladytat’s Wildflower thread are

 exactly what I needed between sessions with the Big Ones! 

Anybody had experience with this thread? I quite like it, but you have to really tighten the rings - and I didn’t realize that till I had already completed several. This motif would probably have been a bit smaller, had I tightened it up as much as I ought to have.

This is another Jennifer WIlliams pattern and so pretty - except I could not - absolutely could NOT - understand the instructions to tat the celtic picots. So I improvised and made up my own join! Not too shabby either - compare it to Jennifer’s:

First of all,

Happy Thanksgiving 2012
