Today, It's All About Karey!

 Karey Solomon , that is.  I couldn't wait to do my new favourite pattern, as I thought this thread and the pattern are so absolutely perfect for someone I am seeing next week and to whom I want to give  'a little something'.  This is a person who will appreciate a tatted gift. Yay!

Kind Hearts and Coronets,

from Karey Solomon's booklet Tatting for the Tree,

Karey's 's gorgeous HDT in size #30.

I LOVE this!

Over the Edge and Done with Hankies

Here it is. Done.  Actually prettier than it appears here, but I couldn't wait for the daylight, which is so much softer than this drab, night light, It is ironed and packed away, and I could not wait to complete the process! Posted.  Over and out!

Half Way Hanky

Taking a New Tack!

 Well, the crocheting is done, including the coming-home sweater, which will not be displayed on a tatting blog!  Yes, now I am tatting for me!

The above, the circle with the orange circle and the split ring red outer ring, is something I have not done before.  I picked up two shuttles that had some old thread from work - much too soft for tatting - and just started to try to produce something of a pleasing shape and design.

This isn't it, but I learned a bit about how to use space and also about how long or short chains should be so that there is no cupping or bunching.  This was a useful, albeit ugly, project.

Next,  the Celtic ring I am having SO much trouble with.  In the second  try, on the right, I GOT IT! That simple little pattern finally made a pattern of its own along the neuron and nerve ends in my simple brain!

All of this is not pretty but is going a long way to helping me be able to tat something pretty in the future!
