Tonight I had very "constructive" conversation with one girl. She started to talk to me on FB, asking some questions about my crocheted jewelry, not a rare thing... She even asked me about my tatted owl earrings (that are not for sale just for show-off). And somewhere in the middle of conversation, as I expected, she asked me why I do that when "everybody's grandma can do it"? She told me that her grandma can make those things, even better. I was actually glad ...
I am re-working my Classic Doily so that I can photograph each section to match the written pattern. I am now on the last round and so will hope to get the pattern test-tatted soon. Anyone up for test-tatting?
My mother-in-law taught me this during a brief visit. I had to tweek myself, but I finally got it. Yay. I think a pic of my husband is going to upload here too sorry.
So I went with my family to an amusement park (the name of which I will not mention because I really do love the place) but due to an accident on one of the rides, I've ended up with whiplash and both wrists injured. Carpel Tunnel I can deal with. I'm a writer, and it doesn't really affect my tatting. But this is a soft tissue (I hope) injury that prevents quick and/or rotational movements of my wrists. I am displeased, but I blame only the end-of-ride operator. I also ...
Here is the brown and cream version of the Classic Doily. I am still not 100% happy with the stitch count, the first row after the first set of scallops is too big and I ended up with a lot more scallops around the outer edge! I have already started a new one, in size 40 Lizbeth white, instead of size 20 and I am writing the pattern out as I go. I feel confident that I will get it right ...
After struggling on my own for a long time, I decided to take a tatting class. It has been wonderful. The teacher is great (a former school teacher so she's good at what she does) and the instructions very clear. There are a total of 4 classes and we're half through. Maybe I'll even have something to post a picture of eventually.

I'm a newbie at tatting, didn't gave much tough about pattern rights until now. Last night I was in a search of a some pretty necklace pattern. So I found a necklace not a pattern for it. And I did what I have tendency to do - I just observe it for a while and than manage to make it. I did mess it up on purpose because I remembered ti look for pattern and I found out that there is one but you have to bye it. Since my country don't have PayPall or any other on line payment ...

This bookmark was named for Jane Eborall and Jane McLellan. It's an adaption and modernization of a braid pattern from Anna Burda. I really enjoyed making the pattern. I've already started another one. The tail is all split rings and a little medallion.
This little guy is from the book The Gentle Art of Tatting by Patricia Ann Rizzo, The thread is Lizbeth #20. purple splendor. And med leaf green.
I am new to this site and have been paging through the gallery in the hopes of finding a pattern for a realistic rose or rosebud. The 3D ones are pretty good, but I need something flat. I am in the process of making my daughter's wedding dress and told her I would tat at least some of the lace for it. So, if anyone has got anything good, I would appreciate your help. I have been tatting on and off for 30 years and know how to do mostly anything, so I'm not afraid to take on something difficult ...
