Tutorial (04):  Sol Cuadrado con Ojete Configuración de Puntada # 1

"sun with an eyelet (hole) in the center. The eyelet sun is an easy design to make and has a simple beauty. The sun is completed with a simple round of knots. If this is the first time you are watching this video, consider watching the second video on the channel so you can see the details of how to make a simple round of knots around the sun."

 This is the Eyelet Sun pattern before Knots ... awesome eyelets ... just sayin
 

Bit of tatting ...

Tatting at the DuPage Co Fair over the

week-end.   Butterflys, a daisy, couple inches added to tatted edges.   (It can be a challenge to tat with the humid weather.)  Gave some butterflys away, enjoyed talking "tatting" with fair guests, most waiting to give bobbin lace a try. 

 Three bobbin lace "try me" pillows remained busy all afternoon.

   The 'Cheerful Daisy' pattern is in this book (book cover below).  I did a quick tat & think a re-tat needed.

The ISBN 978-4-05-800660-3 belongs to the Japanese craft book はじめてでも楽しくできる タティングレース (Tatting Lace: From Basics to Arrangements) by Chiko Sugimoto, published by Gakken.

Sol de Naranjito

 For Tutorial 03 (which has four parts) - You Tube:   I used DMC Cebelia, No. 20, Color 745.

Naranjito Sun 

 My work space -- getting a start with the Sun Lace.

 Pulling the pins out! 

 I'm getting used to the patterns and pillow (w/pins).   My past Teneriffe Lace pieces were created on looms - so these are similar, yet unique techniques to learn.   (Tutorial on the left 1.25"  -- Tutorial on the right 2").   

The kit I purchased has everything needed.   Pillow, carry bag, scissors, threader, fiber, needle, 1" pins, patterns.   [i purchased extra patterns].

In addition - I found a few more  things useful.   Tape measure, small Clover brand clips, DMC needle threader (which holds the needle on a hook for threading), needle gripper to help get the needle thru small areas/anchoring, straight pin puller and pusher (saving my brittle nails), and a pricker for the patterns (again saving my fingers), pincushion, pin bowl -- lace making supplies in general.

The next pattern:   Tutorial 04
