Tatted edges

These are the edges I use for lacemaking demonstrations.

A simple ring and chain -- simple split ring edges.

This edge is not difficult, once you get the pattern going.

And colorful!

Lizbeth size 20, Color 161.  

Pattern:  Plate 21-Insertion, Anne Orr in the Tatting Book No 13

[Helping Hands Newsletter Vol 32, Issue 2 - Spring/Summer 2024]

I find the wooden edge keepers keep my tatting from tangling up.  I tend to tat a little bit here and there, so nice to tuck in a bag and carry along.

Anne Orr: Plate 21 -- Insertion

I'm using Lizbeth Size 20, Col. 161

 

I've had this issue of The Bulletin, International Organization of Lace publication -- Dated Spring 2012.  I always admired the cover - and thought the lace edge so pretty.   On my list to "tat" someday when I found the pattern.

  

And, then the Helping Hands Newsletter arrives in the mail, 

from Handy Hands.   

Inside the newsletter is the Anne Orr pattern!!!
