I have been tatting... especially with the new Kimono thread that I was talking about, recommended by Lynn in this post.
Made a curious little motif with the black and white variegated. Also with a smaller #70 DMC cotton and metallic silver. I had a lot of fun doing this. Can you guess which pattern it is?
Tatted another motif with this thread... It's a motif for a coffee table mat.
Next up, a doily that's almost complete, minus one last round. (Lost steam for now but I might pick it up again some time. ;P)
Both these patterns can be found in this little booklet that Jane Eborall shared some time back. I managed to get a copy, and I love it.
I certainly have a new project waiting and I'm very keen to get crackin'. But before that, I gotta do some homework. Till then...
Hope you are having a nice weekend.
P.S. Jane wrote up a pattern for the Fandango corners and tatted up a pretty duo-colour sample. It's gorgeous. Find her post about it here.
Hi, Val,
ReplyDeleteLovely, lovely tatting. This thread looks very nice - your stitches look crisp and they really show up in the photo. Great turquoise/blue colour

Ooh! I really like that black and white thread. The lemonade set doily is very pretty. There really are some gems in those older books!
ReplyDeleteI know which pattern it is but I'm not telling!!!
