International Tatting Day

Hello, today I'm celebrating
Tatting Day

GF, Southpaw Stitcher
pointed out how tatters have a good sense of humor, selecting April Fool's Day
-- I think tatters celebrating with chocolate + tatting for the day just ROCK!

I've had a few things out ... sorted thru my crochet hooks + shuttles.
Rounded up my crochet fiber, they end up all over the house.

Needed to empty a few shuttles - practiced the split ring,
shoe lace to switch threads, and continue to have problems
getting both sides even. So, I cheat. Make one side with an extra DS.

This is tatted with Tahki Yarn
80% wool, 20% nylon (My guess is that it is similar to a size 10 fiber)

#9 pattern in Mini Tats by Patti Duff

I did
finally spend enough time to
figure out
this pink project

pattern
from Anna Magazine (May 1991).
I started it awhile back, set it aside,
and couldn't figure out where I left off + how to pick it up to finish.

Lesson learned: don't set it down --- just get it finished!

I'm planning to finish the outside edge tonight.


Happy Tatting Day!!!!!!!!!!!!
