Tatted bracelets / straps

 A mess on my table.  I've got Marilee Rockley's HDT Tourmaline, in size 10 -- once I make practice pieces, planning to make a lanyard with "Tourmaline" - I have 2 skeins.  My friend, Beth, gave me some beautiful beads - should be attractive once completed.


These are practice pieces -- from Tatted Wrist On Line Class, pattern + instruction


I used my magnetic shuttles from Handy Hands - Dreamlit for the 1st & 2nd patterns.  Probably would have been easier to use a shuttle w/hook for the 3rd pattern - ie, Dreamlit.

 
The Beaded Bracelet & Charms pattern, is available on the Twisted Picot web site.    As are the Wrist and Body Strap patterns - there are FOUR patterns included.

After a little practice piece (pink fiber) I started a Self Closing Mock Ring (w/beads) using Lizbeth Size 20, Col. 139 with a large Clover Brand Shuttle.   The size 20 pattern is a tad different from the size 10 pattern; however, I wanted a narrow tatted piece --

Looks like the fourth pattern is an interlocking piece. Maybe later - will get thru that one. 

 Eventually, will choose one of the patterns for Yarnplayer's HDT.  These patterns are for swivel lobster claws.

Bibilla 2nd session


Little bell flower (tube start), (raised stitch) petals, + stamens.  The stamens probably should have been in a lighter color; however, I wanted something colorful.  Maybe need a closer trim on the knots ....  Pollen (gold knots) Lizbeth 20, Col 611.   Next try, more rounds of narrow bell shape - before petals.


Intro to Bibilla - Second session.

Pattern/Instruction
kelli@kellislackdesigns.com c.2022.

  I'm using her book and kit.   Petalouda Dentelle No.30.   Olympus Sashiko Needles.   I enrolled in two classes - Mediterranean Knotted Lace and Bibilla.   Each class has 2 sessions.
