Double addiction....

-


When I first met Ben he introduced me to the later series of Dr Who and I have to admit I actually liked it!

Surprise surprise one night when I was watching the opening credits I noticed that there was this suspiciously shuttle-like object and...well...it just BEGGED to be made real...

At this point I finally had to come clean to Ben that I was an addict...yes - hard I know... always tough to break this news to a partner but it had to be done and it was ALL The Doctor's fault!

His reaction?? To go off and make some artwork for me to send to "shuttle collection enabler" (my shuttle partner in crime who must not be named) to see what wonders she could create.

Well....it arrived and I have to say it is BRILLIANT!

Thanks "shuttle collection enabler" - once again you have shown how truly talented you are and how great a friend you are to us tatters. Always up to my odd challenges and schemes!

And thanks heaps to Ben for doing the artwork and encouraging my addiction!!

    Dreaming of having a Doctor Who shuttle of my very own...(hint, hint) what a wonderful bit of decoupage! And with a "Rebel Time Lord" to delight us (Peter Capaldi, cannot wait to see what the writers have in store for him!) later this year I know I will be itching to tat Whovian-themed motifs. Where can I buy one, please?

    Sorry IsDihara...these were made by a friend as a special present. They are not commercially available.

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.
