Does anyone know where to find this pattern? I found it on 2 different websites. The first one is here: http://fascinata.blox.pl/html/1310721,262146,169.html?3
Click on Frywolitk, then scroll down to the bottom and click on (page) 3

The second one is here: http://www.life123.com/hobbies/knit-...eginners.shtml
Looks like it could be out of a vintage book.

I've got to tell you! I was trying out a continuous celtic that skips 2 picots and it does work, but the weaving does not occur as expected.

Attatched is an updated file that shows the progress of the work. When you skip 2 picots (or attachment places) with the start ring having 11 attachment places, it behaves in a quite unexpected manner. But now that I have made one and have a clearer idea of how to proceed, I have updated the document

Hello to tatters.
I want to make a table topper from the book, "Tatting from Burda" page 41 for the large doily which is 38" (97 cm) round, number #10 crochet cotton. I have ordered 5 balls of thread Lizbeth brand. Two Round Doileys with Butterflies It doesn't say how many balls. I'm hoping 5 will be enough? I have no idea. Thank you for your time. Ellen

Attachment 13957Attachment 13958 When I'm tatting at home, I have an old Kraft macaroni cup to keep my thread in. That way it doesn't tumble on the floor. My bobbins are in a bobbin case that has removable panels, so my shuttles will fit and various bobbins in other sections. Also, in there are some plastic bread tags. I wrap small amounts of left over threads on them. In the background there is also an old plastic box from some sanitary wipes. I use it to hold whatever tatting I'm working on when I'm out and about. The lid snaps on nicely, so it can be put in a bag and nothing get jostled about. When it's at home, I've stored my beads and findings in it. Also, I need more than one size of needle. So, at home my little stuffed mouse holds any needle I require, eg. one for removing mistakes, another for threading to put some beads on, etc. And I keep a very pointy pair of embroidery scissors, for close snipping. I used to have a pair of scissors that were curved. But I frequently managed to snip my fingers while trying to cut threads. I seem to be somewhere between blonde and senior. he he.
