A tat-along delight

-

I have started getting back into tatting with the cooler weather and this stupid COVID19 virus lockdown.

There was a tat along on Facebook in May,  Kwitnacy kasztanoweic - Blooming Chestnut run by Frywolitka2233 (Ewa Wasiliszyn) so I signed up for it. Lovely little pattern that is simple but quite elegant.

The original had beads but I did not have any that fitted well with the thread.

Thank you Ewa. It is a great little pattern and I look forward to seeing your book when it comes out.

You can follow Ewa on Facebook for more information and possibly future tat alongs??

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.

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.
