Progress!!

I ACTUALLY sat down and tatted last night and ....AND....then again this afternoon!!! Bliss.

The pattern is fiddly but only because it has so many separate motifs. Enjoying it though.

    It is coming along nicely and I know what you mean about little motifs they do make is look nice, but I do enjoy rounds more. Maybe cause that's all I am doing with my doily right now :)

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).

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...
