International Tatting Day

April 1st is the International Tatting Day. 

Tatting is the skill of making delicate, elegant, tatted lace. 

It is enjoyed by thousands of people. 

On this day, "tatters" around the world have different activities, mostly educational, to celebrate their hobby, and introduce it to others.

Day 13 - Tat It And See

c.Jane Eborall 2021

I have no idea what this will be!!! We will be using our darker fiber for the next day's clue.

Jane has us all guessing!  

I tatted the Button Lamb (again).    The first one I tried, Link HERE.

I used Lizbeth fiber, size 20, color 168.  3 beads, + 7/16" button.

 

Button Lamb

Button Lamb c.Martha Ess 2008

Pattern can be found on Jane Eborall's blog:  Tatting Patterns by Jane Eborall

I used Lizbeth Size 20, Col. 168, 7/16" Button, 3 beads.

Edit:   When I tatted the lamb, in the 12th Ring, there was a "DPB" - at the time, I didn't know what that meant.   Looked it up:   DPB=Down Picot w/Bead.    OK, now I know!    

DPB= Make the first half of the double stitch twice

Then a picot with a bead on it

then the 2nd half of the double stitch twice.

Pull the picot forward and down to place the bead on the inside of the ring.

The next one I make may have a different look ; )   ----- EDITED 8 Feb 2021

Tatted again with Col. 168 Lizbeth Fiber (size 20)

3 beads, 7/16" button
