Tatting and Tools/Toys
Over-the-Moon with my new TSA shuttles. The TSA group is on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/groups/tattingshuttleaddicts/ - Tatting Shuttle Addicts. I have learned a lot about different types of tatting shuttles. NAG Studio [Needle Arts Goddess] has an Eddie shuttle design in Maple for sale thru her ETSY store. These shuttles are to commemorate TSA's two years. btw --Anybody can purchase the Eddie / maple shuttle and can opt for personalized engraving. With or without hook.
I noticed on FB, The Tatting Corner / Jennifer posted: " I have a special request for small tatted or laced butterflies. We are vending at Annie's Craft Festival October 30-November 1st and would like to include a small butterfly to each flier that we hand out to encourage more folks to keep this wonderful art form going. " She would like them by 10/28 ... Started a few last night ---
Repeating .... I really adore these Tulip Etimo lace hooks. While I hesitated to purchase the set -- I am so glad I went ahead with the order. The roll up is nice + closes with a magnet. The hooks are nice sizes for lace. I also added my favorite Carrickmacross lace scissors, knitting pin, Susan Bates yarn needle, a couple double point knitting [sock?] needles, and LACIS crochet hook. The cotton candy embroidery scissors have been my 'go to' recently!
Edited to add: Scissors also known as Steeking Scissors at Knit Picks. Thx Diane!!!
This is my re-tat of Leaping Lambies pattern by Karey Solomon. You may remember my first attempt? [in a previous post]
