I have been tatting along. Lots of things going on and keeping tatting limited, but still progressing. My husband wanted a tatted lanyard(but NO beads). So, after trying a couple of patterns and failing, I decided to try this. Nice thing is that it should be durable since my husband is quite hard on things, and it holds the weight of all three crosses he wanted on it(and they are heavy).
It's tatted in size 10 Lizbeth Angel's Love and Turquoise Twist.
First picture is the whole thing.
Next is just the lanyard.
Next is so you can see that I used a large single ring at each end and over lapped them.
Next is a scan of it. :)
Have not had much chance to work on my secret tatting, but it's not a huge secret anymore since my husband walked in unannounced one day and saw it....so it's going to my mother-in-law and her husband.....and my husband has one coming next year(hopefully).
I got to work with one of my senior tatting students this week. She is tired of making rings and joining them, so we worked on learning chains. I don't know how much practice she is getting since she has been enduring headaches that are lasting weeks.
Well....tomorrow(Lord willing) I will be tatting and watching Christrmas movies(on Hallmark Channel) all day. :)
Have a wonderful day and hopefully tatting time too!!! :)

Religiousity, patriotism, & practicality interlinked just like the rings in the pattern ! Gorgeous :-)
That is a lot of rings great work!
Thank you both very much!!! :)
The lanyard looks wonderful.
Lovely work, and all those rings must have taken a while to do that.
Well done lovely colours

Thank you both!! :)
Margaret, yes..all those rings seemed to take forever, but really I think I got it done in 2 or 3 weeks with tons of interruptions and delays! :)
Oh, what a lovely lanyard. I know all those split rings are very time consuming. Well done!
Thank you very much Bernice!! :) Just to let you know, those are just regular rings interjoined side by side through each other. :)
OK not split rings but interlocking / interjoined, I can't do that. It's like making two lanyard's.
Glad you found a technique right for the job, the result is splendid!
Wonderful lanyard! It's taken you quite a while to come up with a design you like. It must feel great to have an idea come together so beautifully!
It is a lot of work Bernice!! :)
Thank you Jane and Diane!!! :)
