A Blog about Tatting“1907” pattern from American Thread Company’s, Star Book for the Home #19.

Still on the first (inner) ring.   Stalled.

I"m trying to decide on adding a fiber

or - switching shuttles.

Thread chicken is usually a losing battle.

Tatting Along ... 

A Blog about Tatting“1907” pattern from American Thread Company’s, Star Book for the Home #19.

I'm starting with Lizbeth Size 20, Color 683.

Endruck's 1920 Project.

Muskaan's TIPPS Blog has more information.

This one is a challenge for me.   And not my first attempt.

I'm using Lizbeth size 20, Color 686.

Other participants have all the parts DONE.  No, not me.

LNS now closed...

Always a sad day when the local knitting store goes out of business.

When GF, Sue, and I visited on Wednesday,

found some fibers.

And other goodies.

Now a cover for my bobbin lace pillow on the

lace stand.

Colorful crochet/knitting cotton.   For dishcloths, dish dresses or buttons.

I've really enjoyed wrapping fiber

around rings and creating

some interesting buttons / ornaments.

Depending on the size of the ring or mould,

crochet cottons work well : )

Tatted Spiral Ornament

I finished the tatted spiral, which I put inside an ornament.  (see previous post).  The pattern, Tatted Spiral Ornament, is by a member of the Lafayette Lacemakers.

Supplies are 28 g wire, Size 40 Lizbeth Col. 601, Miyuki #DB602 + Miyuki #DB046 Delica beads.    Silver lined Red and Silver lined Green beads.

It is hanging on the window latch.

 Pretty in the window.

 

A Challenge to photograph!  This is on the table.

It is interesting to view the reflection of the tatting 

inside the ornament.

 

Tatted spiral

I've been creating a tatted spiral, which (eventually) will be inside a clear ornament.  The pattern, Tatted Spiral Ornament, is by a member of the Lafayette Lacemakers At the last meeting, I had a better understanding of the instructions and am giving it a 'go'.   

Supplies are 28 g wire, Size 40 Lizbeth Col. 601, Miyuki #DB602 + Miyuki #DB046 Delica beads.    Silver lined Red and Silver lined Green beads.

I'm about half was thru the spiral.   Once I got the hang of it, it became easier.   Stay tuned ...
