Not tatting.....

Well, my first and large crochet project is finished. 

It's the Sunburst Granny Square Cardigan by 

Oh Me, Oh My Crochet.

I used I Love This Yarn color:456 Poolside Siesta. 

It's heavy!!!  I should stay good and warm in it!!

Happy New Year to you all!!!  :)
May your tatting and other crafts be blessed in the 

new year, and may you be blessed to have time for 

them!!! :)

 

Rescued tatting

Moving my father-in-law out of his apartment to 

assisted living and came across a box of "junk" 

and on the top was a crumpled lace piece.  When 

I picked it up and looked, I realized it was tatting. 

As far as I know I am the only tatter they knew, and 

my father-in-law thought I had tatted this, but I did 

not.  I have never seen the piece before.  It is pretty 

and my hubby wants me to clean and block it and 

keep it now. ;)

I am thinking it could be a size 20 thread. 

It's very light weight.

Here is a close-up of the center.
I am not sure if I have seen the pattern before.
If anyone knows, please inform me. ;)

Now, this is my tatting.  It's for our daughter's 

roommate. Our daughter said she would like a 

personalize ornament of their cats, and I thought 

this would be more special.

Also, I tatted another My Portion Cross from 

Elaine P. Gan for a friend:

And today I just tatted in size 40 the holly leaves 

and added red beads for the berries.  I think 

these will make great holiday earrings.

Have a wonderful start to your new year and 

happy New Year tatting!! :)

 

Even though Christmas is next week....

It's still autumn(at least in earrings) around here.  ;)
A lady liked the Small Maple Leaf Earrings by Yarnplayer 

that I tatted and wanted a pair, but she wanted post 

earrings so I got them done and she wore them immediately 

even though we had 4 inches of snow that day.
I used Lizbeth size 40 Autumn Spice.

And...another friend like the earrings...but, asked for 

pink and purple.  I used Lizbeth size 40 Girly Girl thread.

They are quite pretty considering I was not sure about 

pink & purple maple leaves.  ;)

I have a tatted ornament I am hoping to tat 

yet today, but not sure if I can complete it, 

and also wanting to work some more on my 

crochet cardigan(been sitting for weeks).
