International Tatting Day

Happy International Tatting Day!!

Today is International Tatting Day and tatters tat in public and eat chocolate.  I do plan to tat outside and if you happen by you will see me.  

I cropped the picture but there was a banana chocolate muffin sitting here which has since been devoured.  Yum. 

This "egg" is an adaptation of a collar pattern from the Pricilla Book No. 1 and is the oval shaped sections that make up the front portion of the collar.  I deliberately did it in the white and yolk colors. The white was done in one round, starting at the large clover and using split rings to climb to the outer chains and rings.   

I used a  thread about a size 30, no labels as this a found wound ball from another unfinished project.  Vintage thread, vintage pattern, vintage shuttle :) 

 

ROUND 10

This is the Renulek Spring Wiosna 2021 round 10, again climbing round to round using a split ring and split chain. The pattern can be found on her  blog, posted once a week or you can purchase the entire pattern from her Etsy  site.  

For the Wiosna 2021 I am using a size 20 thread called Hakelgarn color 2006.

Wiosna 2021 Round 9

I haven't been posting but I have been tatting. This is the Renulek Spring Wiosna 2021 round 9 completed with a split chain and split ring to the next round.  The pattern can be found on her blog, posted once a week or you can purchase the entire pattern from her Etsy  site.  

For the Wiosna 2021 I am using a size 20 thread called Hakelgarn color 2006.  The current size is 10 inches or 24 cm.

 

Green Cross Stitch

Happy St. Patricks Day.  I finished this little shamrock which has 16 different colors of green in it.  The pattern is by Emily at Cross Stitching 101. Completed on 14 count Aida it is in a 2.5 inch frame.

The pattern itself was easy but I learned how to finish the back of a piece and prepare it for framing. 

TIAS 2021 Done

Jane had another TIAS and this time it was a bookmark.  The last few days and the final bookmark for your perusal.
