The Spool Cotton Co. c.1936

My onion rings are kinda wobbly.  more practice needed.   

Tatting WIP - using Yarnplayer's HDT - which I find looks pretty good when I have to untat & retat - open closed rings to fix an error -- and the colors!!!!  beautiful colors.

The design is from Imported Designs of Tatting Book #77

The Spool Cotton Co    c.1936

I enjoy getting the Tatting Bella On Line newsletter via e-mail.   Georgia Seitz, Editor, shares fabulous articles.    Recently, she began sharing diagrams + patterns of tatting motifs, edges, from this 1936 publication.   While the black-n-white photos from the book are good - I find it so much easier to have a pattern to follow and diagram.    Link to the newsletter archives - HERE.

This is TIAS - day 11 (day 12 available today):

Thank you Jane for the funness!!!  Such an interesting motif.     Looked forward to all the pattern days and learned how to add buttons into my tatting.

Snow.

Snow.

I think we have 2 pair of cardinals.   The females are around - tho stay hidden!

TIAS D9 + D10 and doodles

The pattern for these zipper pulls is from

New Tatting by Tomoko Morimoto.

From left to right:   Lizbeth size 20 color #119; Yarnplayer's HDT (guessing size 20); unknown soft fiber - fun to tat with; and Lizbeth size 3 [fiber sample].

tho the pattern is five rings - i prefer making 6 rings, and adding a bead gives it some weight.

Grace Tan's heart pattern w/beads added.

Lizbeth size 20.   #178 Grape Pomegranate

I started  off with a pattern in New Tatting by Tomoko Morimoto.

I think I had a different size fiber, so floral motif here has 6 petals instead of 5 (shown in pattern).

i used Lizbeth, size 20 Jelly Bean #119.

These are small doodles - to empty shuttle and try new fiber.   

and, have you seen enough TIAS?   no?
