Stash find........

-

Today I found the most beautiful thread I bought from Brenda (Bre-Aly Threads on Etsy) a couple of years ago....problem is I cannot remember what I bought it for LOL.


It must have been something special because it is size 10 and I never tat with 10....


Any suggestions? Have three 175 yard balls and it is a gorgeous soft blue/purple combination. Pic coming soon!

    sounds great I have a pattern for something that would take that size thread, but haven't perfected it yet so it got to wait :) unless you let me buy one off of you?

      I would but I just KNOW there was something I bought it for!!!
      Sister has cancer and just lost her hair from chemo - thinking I might use it for a nice tatted hat if I can find a nice pattern.

    Jan Stawasz tats with 10 - plenty of choice there.

    Brenda's threads are beautiful! I love making Mary Konior's Spinning Wheel glass mat with hand-dyed threads... Any design that flows from the center to the outside edge rather than round and round seems to work well.

Shuttle blog starting soon

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.

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.
