Triumphing The Trellis


This turned out to be about 81/2” in diameter. Not too big for me to tat as a project that has no purpose. Besides, I have lots of Sally’s wonderful blue thread left. I think that must be the old Cèbèlia, as the label is different than what I have in the same thread, and I have never seen that colour before. Thanks again, Sally!


It is difficult to get a good photo of this - but the thread colour here, on my laptop anyway is pretty accurate.

By the way, the number of rings in the first round is 22. Any less than that and I think it would have been imposible to tat properly with the #30 thread.

Now, In the NEWS...
Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 
Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court wears..... 
TATTING!

Am I harbouring a delusion? Is this really, really what I think it is? It does not seem to be crochet, and I can not get close enough to the photo to see clearly. 

I forget where the photo came from but the article was concerning her performing a same-sex marriage ceremony, so it is current.

Rock on Justice Bader Ginsberg! : )

Afterthought: 
: ( Oh no. I think it IS crochet.... Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

Relaxing With Rogers

Lindsay Rogers motif tatted in #40 Lizbeth from Rachael at InTatters kept me busy for a couple of hours. This time I included all the rings!
Perhaps now I am ready to finish up that pesky Trellis!

Truckin’ With Trellis


Moving right along...  : ))

See how small this is and I only have a few more rows to go.
This is a good size to get the benefit of the pattern, without the large size.

Perseverance Pays


I am really enjoying this. What a surprise and an unexpected treat. It is good that I decided to scale back the pattern as this is just large enough for me. 

It provides a lot of practice with the new tatting method, while at the saw time holding my interest with  Victorian Sets and the all-chain construction. What could be better! 

The Cèbèlia #30 is a perfect, wonderful colour for this. : )
