These are First Snowfall

and Design Tutorial Snowflake.

Her Tatting By The Bay blog is wonderful.

Her books are great -- check out her site ; )

I think the fiber is size 20, color ecru - I cannot find the fiber & label.

 On round 2.   The Josephine Knots look like tatted rings.

 Practicing thrown rings.  Have not done them for awhile.

 Found this kit - and the fiber is smaller than I'm used to.   It is a Clover Japan kit.  Instructions have clear photos.

 Beads are

interesting to add.   I'm looking forward

to out next few zoom classes in August.

Mini Tats: ( Modified ) Motif #58

 

I used Lizbeth, Size 20.

Col. 614 Lemon Lt.

Modified Motif #58 from

Mini Tats, 69 Petite Motifs by Patti Duff.

 Of Course!   I should have

used folded cardboard or this tatting tool (which was hiding in my tool box).

Bare Thread Space Tool / Picot Tool.

Would have made This Motif, #56, easier.  I thought I had

the thread lengths ok - yet, once tightened the rings,

threads stretched longer.

 This one (with bare threads) looks better.    Motif #40 from Mini Tats book.

Lizbeth Fiber

Color #170 Pineapple Parfait, Size 20.

These are some of the Mini Tats I've done (so far).  Have a few holiday patterns which I plan to create this Fall or Winter.

Close to finish

Close to a finish.  Keeping the pins 'in' for now.  

Next steps are:  remove from the pattern - tuck in / hide ends of  the fibers - mail the GCC piece to the instructor. Progress Pix. 

  

I'm spoiled using the kits from Joan Brash. https://teneriffelacekits.com/.   Was interesting to start with a pattern and make my own 'block'.   I think having the pins on a round foam with pins on the side is easier - with pins on top - does catch the fiber.

This is the

Slow going with the fiber.  I think I'm supposed to mail it by mid-August.   Would like to finish soon.  Progress Pix.

The kit has fiber; however, I'm using Lizbeth, Size 20, Col. 159 -- the kit comes with white fiber to complete four patterns.  When the colors in the fiber changes it creates a striped look.  Maybe would be better with a solid color after all.

The pastel colors in the spokes and knots are ok -- maybe I should have changed to a solid color for the needle weaving.

c.2019 Heirloom Arts

Joan Brash kit & instructions.  

Kit includes custom loom, needle, fiber, + four patterns/instructions.  IMO - you need to have on hand:  scissors, tape measure/ruler, scotch tape.   I like to have (nearby) pin cushion, needle threader, stiletto, post-it note, & longer needle.
