Treble Tatting Video


As per a reminder from muskaan, I am posting
a link to a video I have posted in Just-Tatting on 
Facebook, that I made as to how to do Ninetta's Treble 
Tatting.  I used size 3 Lizbeth thread and did my 
best to show the steps clearly.  It won't let me upload 
it to blogger, so our daughter is going to help me 
figure out how to get it on Youtube and then try 

I used it to tat this doily which I will do my best 
to discipline myself and get the pattern together 
for those who are adventurous and would like to 
try it!!!  ;)
Hope this helps those who would like to try 
Treble Tatting!!

Mary Konior's Large Cross

Tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Christmas 
Green Mix.  I like how it turned out.

I am working on another Yarnplayer 
Star Capella pendant at the moment.
Have a great tatting day!!! :)

Yarnplayer's Star Capella

I saw this pattern and thought I would try it.
With great intimidation hanging over my head 
and doubts that I could do it, I still tried and 
succeeded!!! :)
It's fabulous!!!
Pattern link here: 
I used Lizbeth size 40.  If you print the pattern 
you will be able to see what size this is, it's 
almost the exact same size as the pictures.
 Below is the back.  I think it's "reversible".
I actually have one person asking me to make 
her one in purple.  ;)
I think I NEED several of these in different 
colors!!  ;)
Hope you have a wonderful tatting filled day!! :)

Test tatting again

Elaine P. Gan allowed us to test tat again.  This is 
actually supposed to be a hexagon shaped doily, 
but....I love this look!!!! 
So, I sewed in the ends and left it as is.  ;)
I realized it could be a variety of shapes- a diamond 
if you add a motif to each end, a square if joined 
differently, and I am sure endless other possibilities!
Tatted in Yarnplayer's size 40 HDT(hand dyed thread)
Tigereye, and Nitty Gritty.
I wanted an autumn doily and now I have one!!!  :)
Working on more projects.
Hope you have a wonderful tatting filled day!!  :)

Tat-a-Renda's Threads that Bind Doily(14 Day Challenge Doily) Completed

I have enjoyed joining Tat-a-Renda on her doily!!!
I used size 40 Joy from AlenAlea and Lizbeth Lilac Dk.
It's measures 11 3/8in. from flower point to flower point.
 It still needs to be blocked!!!
I designed the last row myself.  I wanted some of 
hand dyed thread in it, but there was very little left 
so I just did the 4 flowers(wish there was enough 
for 8).  ;)
I am currently working on test tatting another doily 
and have 6 motifs to add to it, then sew in ends and 
I can then get a picture of it.  ;)
Hope you have a really wonderful day and get some 
tatting in!! :)

Row 13 completed

This is Tat-a-Renda's 14 Day Challenge Doily recently 
renamed Threads that Bind Doily.
Now I have to see if my brain will work and try to 
design a final row for it.
I am not sure I can do justice after seeing so many 
truly awesome ones already!!!  ;)
Have a wonderful day and fabulous tatting time!! :)

can say it was happy and blessed!! :)

It's Virtual Tollway Tatter's Day!!! :)

Since it's "impossible" to meet right now for Tollway 
Tatters, I figured we should get a picture of us tatting 
in our Tie-dye shirts today and post them on the facebook 
page.  So, I thought I would share the picture here too.
Oh, that "mess" next to me is all tatting related, except 
the saucer plate for my cocoa.  ;)  Yep, it's organized 
chaos(as my sister calls it).  I guess I should "clean" it 
up......ummmm...probably not happening soon.  ;)
Have a super Saturday tatting and if you are a 
Tollway Tatter, make sure to add your picture to 
the facebook page.  I would like to see lots!!! :)

A Red Cross

Mary Konior's Small Cross from Tatting 
with Visual Patterns tatted in size 40 
Lizbeth Christmas Red.
Thankfully they re-opened the clinic 
that I am tatting the crosses for, so 
at my appointment Thursday I will be 
surprising them with the crosses.  I 
will also be finding out how many more 
I need since I have around 10.
Hope you are all doing well!!!
Have a great day and get some tatting 
sanity in.  ;)

Another cross(finally) ***added update **** another update :D

I tried an idea with a cross I had 
already tatted and it didn't work. So 
I started another which I am still 
working on-it takes tons of my 
concentration!!!!  ;)
While taking a break from that cross 
I started this one.  It's Mary Konior's 
Large Cross from Tatting with Visual 
Patterns tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Leaf 
Swirl.
I am still working on Tat-a-Renda's 
14 Day Challenge Doily(row 10), 
and the other cross, and test tatting 
another doily too.  I can't say I don't 
have anything to do.
***Here is the other cross mentioned 
above:
Just finished another cross. This one was 
a challenge for me which took days.
 It's Pernille cross from Tatted Bookmarks 
cross-shaped by Lene Bjorn. Tatted in size 40 
Lizbeth Bright Blue Lt.

Day 10 of 14 done on Tat-a-Renda's
14 Day Challenge Doily.  

Something new in my life-since we 
have the stay at home orders I can't 
be teaching my Sunday groups so we 
have started going "LIVE" on facebook 
for those who have internet and facebook, 
and I am recording cassette tapes(yep, old 
school) for the seniors who don't have the 
internet.  Lots and lots of changes and some 
struggles, but I am thankful that God is still 
in control!!!  :)
Happy International Tatting Day and happy 
tatting today!!! :)
