Interesting design and a lot of fun to tat.

    I really like this one. It has sort of a Celtic look in the center, and I love anything Celtic! Beautiful!

    That is a beautiful pattern! I really like the chains around the outside - they give it a modern look. You did a lovely job tatting it!

    Always delightful to see the motifs you do so beautifully, I don't have a vast library of tatting books, so it's nice to see patterns I'd never see otherwise.

    It's difficult to remember warm weather here in the US, where so many of us are dealing with the aftermath of several heavy snowfalls (and more still to come?). I remind myself that in a heat wave back in 1988 (3 days of 100 F temperatures) I was praying for snow! (That's before we had air conditioning :)

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

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.
