Lizbeth: Size 3

Handy Hands send a Lizbeth brand, size 3 fiber sample 

with their newsletter.   

Earlier this evening, I tatted a butterfly doodle.

The 4-ring butterfly seemed to use a lot of fiber!

Keeping the ring of DS seemed clumsy at first.

I was glad I had a practice piece before

choosing

this motif from MiniTats

(This one is motif #12).

I chose this motif, as the shuttle only needed about 6' of size 3

for the rings -- the rest was from the spool of fiber.

I don't have much left on the spool.

Maybe more doodles this evening!

Did you notice the pretty shuttle?

This one decorated by Diane, blogging

at Lace-lovin' Librarian.

Her color coordinating with her tatting 

is rubbing off on me!

I own 2 wooden shuttles, and find the

fiber shreds while winding.   Tips are so tightly pinched together.

Have not actually used them.

The two new shuttles for my collection

are Gr-8.   I knew they existed; however,

when I held one in my hand (belonged to Tatting Friend),

I knew I'd have to own one!

When I couldn't decide, I bought two.   

I have not tried them yet - they are very pretty to look at!
