    Your tatting is impeccable as always! I LOVE looking at your work and I am glad you have come back to the fold!

    Where did you find that Julie Patterson book? After your last post I trawled the net and could find nothing. Her patterns are very good from what I have seen. 'Eye Spy" is awesome!

    They are all terrific, but I have to admit I especially like Eye Spy.

    Thanks for your comments.
    Frivole - I have had an email from Jane so I will adjust the blog to show whose idea the pattern was. Thanks for the info.
    Fox - Julie does still have some books but they are in storage and she is really busy with her restaurant. Hopefully we can encourage her to get them out again! If I find a copy I will let you know.

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.
