    You really have been tatting up a storm just now. I like both your motifs very much but the Razzle Dazzle is so awesome.

    Nice to see you tatting in a traditional colour as well, it's very elegant, I think.

Hi Everyone, Just letting you know that instead of adding a page here that I cannot add to for shuttles, I will be starting a new blog called The Shuttle In My Pocket very soon. In collating mode for all the pics and will add details to the posts as I can find them for each shuttle. Comments will be gratefully accepted, especially if you have details of a shuttle where I don't! Watch this space for new as we get set up.

This one might not count cos it is not strictly a stand alone motif. But it was so cute I just had to see if it would slip on in there!!! This is the centre of the larger project I have just started. MOTIF 8 The pattern was designed by Lene Bjorn and was found in Orkis Bladet - the magazine of the Danish Tatting Association (Dansk Orkisforening).

After attempt number 1.... after cutting out a repeat of the pattern because I joined in the wrong place (twice),I ended up untatting 9 rings in an attempt to not run out of thread. THIS is what I had left! This was the result of the first attempt. Really love Lea's HDT. Withstands unpicking beautifully and always feels great to tat with. So I decided to try it again..... This time with Altin Basak 50 in red and Butterfly gold thread Version 3 was a breeze. A couple of small unpicks and swearing at the fraying L...
