Motif 17

-

Ok I am back to tatting on here.
Still feeling broken and missing Jamie terribly. Tatting always reminds me of him so I have been avoiding it. But I need to get back into it for my own sanity and to honour the man that supported every single ds I did while we were together.

To help me along my way I decided to try AnneB's Christmas Heart.

Red for the last 23 wonderful years.

Blue for how my heart is feeling.

Green for the beginning of the future.


So here they are.



Red: thread is Altin Basak 40.






Blue is Lizbeth 40

and finally:



Green is BabyLo 30 - lovely to tat with but unfortunately broke for me a couple of times.

As usual a wonderful pattern from the very generous and talented Anne Bruvold. Thanks Anne - it is always a pleasure to tat one of your patterns.

    I'm glad to see you back - and tatting from the heart! I love the colors you chose to match how you are feeling, and the green thread is especially pretty. A variegated thread of red, blue and green would weave all your emotions into one beautiful heart. I love this pattern - it's on my list of patterns to try.

Belinda Spence put up a challenge in the facebook group Tatting the Australian Way. https://www.facebook.com/groups/847655165276159/ It was a free pattern and anyone could participate. Well....it LOOKED easy enough. But it actually has a more than usual level of concentration required, as we pretty much all found out! First attempt and I made the rookie mistake of thinking it was a rock along easy pattern so I used Alenalea Rako HDT...... and suffered the consequences. 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...

Motif 8??

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). However there is some controversy surrounding this one. It is also in Lyn Morton's book Tatting Patterns......either way it is a lovely motif! The thread is Garden Afternoon by Yarnplayer. Size 20. Given to me by my best mate Dantatter.
