Another Frosty the Snowman Pop Top Drop

I love this one and it's mine.  I don't think I will 

tat another!!
Jean Inglis created the outer design for an Ice Drop 

and the pattern is in the Files in Ice Drop Addicts 

on facebook.  Her design actually has 2 rows and 

it's called Wee Snowballs.

I figured it had to be tatted for Frosty cuz' snowmen 

are made from snowballs.

I don't plan on doing another cuz' these are the best 

Josephine Knots that I have ever done and I don't 

want to do anymore!!!

Hope you are all having a tatting filled week!! :)

 

Pop Top Drop #4

2 views same drop.
I wasn't sure what to do for this one, but had 

some thoughts and just tatted.  I like it, but I 

don't love it.  I think the outer chains need to 

have a few more stitches to look nicer, but 

it's done for now.  ;)

Again tatted in size 40 Lizbeth(light blue).

I thought I would do so much more tatting sitting, 

but pain is distracting and has kept me from even 

sleeping well, so tatting gets done from time to time 

just like everything else.
Hope you are having a fabulous weekend with 

tatting!!! :)

 

Enjoying Pop Top Ice Drops!!!

I tatted another pop top drop ornament. It's a bit ruffly

and will need to be blocked(flattened), but I like it!

Still working on healing and tatting. One more 

pop top in this set to tat.  

Hope your new year is starting well and giving 

you tatting time!!! :)

 

Pop Top Ice Drop # 2

I had an idea, tried it, and after the first 2 repeats 

thought I wouldn't like it and almost cut it off, but 

I decided to continue and see and I like it!!  ;)
Size 40 Lizbeth (I still don't have the color and it's 

still rough to get around 2 weeks after my fall).

Our daughter gave me a beautiful cross necklace 

for Christmas and since I had to sit so much, I 

thought I could "draw" a design of it for possible 

tatting.  We shall see if I get around to actually 

trying to tat it.  ;)

I am also working on the Christmas doily, 

but it's more of an I choose to ignore project 

because before Christmas I spent hours un-tatting 

approx. 6-8 inches.  So glad it's in size 10!!!
Have a wonderful week and don't forget to 

tat something!!  ;)

 

Frosty the Snowman Pop Top Ice Drop!!!

I saw a set of 4 Frosty image bottle caps on Etsy and 

fell in love with how awesome they looked.  They 

are a good price at 4 for $3.  I was able to order 4 sets. 

And today while having to have my leg up I worked 

on the first one.  I love it!!!
Size 40 Lizbeth thread.  I would give the number 

since it came in a specialty pack with no names on 

the threads, but it's a walk to get it so, just know it's 

a beautiful light blue!!  ;)

I have to do 3 more to have the set done, but that 

will take some time.

Have a wonderful tatting filled day!! :)

 

Glutton for Punishment

Yes, that is kind of what I have named this Pop Top 

Ice Drop.  :)
Round and Round we go is another good name!!!
It's tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Lime Green Med.
My own design.  I love the look, just wish each row of 

my chains were all even.  I made them to gradually 

go down a size to give a slight swirl effect.  The 

chains on the left side show best what I was hoping 

for.

Have a great tatting day and don't miss the post 

before this.  ;)

 

More Pop Top Ice Drops

I am enjoying tatting something for myself.....

well, our daughter requested this one.
Same as the first Diane's pattern from Ice Drop 

Addicts on facebook.

This time in Lizbeth size 40 Blue Ice.

Next, I wanted to get to only 6 rings and chains so 

I used my largest picot gauge in my set, and still 

couldn't get only 6.  I got it down to 8 so I think I 

am giving up and just enjoying whatever.  I also 

didn't want to do any more SCMRs(laziness!!!), so 

I just tatted chains and then put a large picot in place 

of the SCMRs.  Cute enough.  ;)
This one is in Lizbeth size 20 Christmas Delight.

I hope you are having a good day and getting ready 

for Thanksgiving!!! :)
Time to get things done around here! Have a great 

tatting day!!! :)

 

Starting another Pop Top Ice Drop and my first knitted blanket done!!!!

Our daughter loved that last Pop Top Ice Drop and 

wanted one in red, white and green for Christmas. 

All I had was size 20, so I have made the start, but 

considering the thread is larger I thought there would 

 be less rings, but instead there is one more.  I am 

using Diane's stitch count this time and it should 

have only 6 rings, but I guess I can't read or some-

thing.  ;)
Either way, it's looking good.  I actually already 

have 4 outer points done.

Also, she wanted another one done in Lizbeth Blue 

Ice and it's already in slow process in size 40.  ;)

For those who might have wondered about my

knitted blanket.....Ummmm...you can tell I know

nothing of knitting and that as a beginner I go BIG!!!!!

When Sarah started this many years ago we searched

and most afghans were 150 stitches across, so since

I wanted a large blanket not a silly throw or afghan.

We decided 300 stitches would double the width and

make a blanket. Well, I guess the math doesn't work

out with knitting cuz' the finished blanket is 5ft. 7in.

and almost 16 feet wide. Now, I wish it was "taller"

and less wide, but....we now know.

At least I will be warm!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here are the pictures of it folded in half and extra on

our queen sized bed. I sleep on the right side and you

can see it has a pile of blankets on it, but I think this may solve

the pile.

It's a challenge to fold!!!!

Pop Top Ice Drop done. This is from the same pattern as

the last. Pattern here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/338680599851180/permalink/673813819671188/?__cft__[0]=AZXjpXpZqaDz3yxrvQGiSGPN-ZcM33Xmown6qB3RM1UUrSMId3Io9-m_Sy7I0gutO0L3eva1ZE8ohhQDjy9dHNQSL8inLS7W4-YRlU-YJGPKcrWTzmfOUSasPfEsuMfgY5_P-TVKnh-bFWtq3jzstr8fg3U92cZ0iFrpiNXV98qfkiiWk8NhmiBFK5pZMUhIvcE&__tn__=-UK-R

Tatted in size 20 Lizbeth Christmas Delight. I don't know

how with the larger size thread I ended up with one more

ring than the last one tatted in size 40, and still both

having double or more than the pattern which has only 6.

I can't wait for our daughter to see it since it's hers by request.

And 2nd picture is side by side with the first one.

3rd picture to show another request in progress.

I hope you are have a wonderful Sunday and 

getting tatting in!! :)

 

A Pop Top Ice Drop(after so very, very long)

 

Still tatting along!  I am loving making things 

just for me!!! :)
This is Diane's Pop Top Ice Drop pattern from 
Ice Drop Addicts on facebook.
It's tatted with a major alteration since it's in 

size 40 Lizbeth Christmas Green Mix.
Diane's has 6 points, but this one has 12, and 

our daughter loves it so much she wanted one 

in Christmas Delight(red, white and green), so 

I had her choose which Santa, and all I have is 

size 20 Christmas Delight and it already has 

more points than Diane's too.

For those who know about my knitting, it's done!!
I even wove in the ends, but now it needs washing 

before using!!  ;)  I will post a picture when I can.
Have a wonderful tatting filled night!!! :)

A Pop Top Drop

It's Diane's Silver Crowns Ice Drop pattern from 

Ice Drop Addicts on Facebook.

A picture to show how it started.

 Tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Salmon Med. with tiny 

iridescent beads.  I love how it came out!!!

 The doily and the Pop Top Drop both bring lots 

of color here!!!  For the last several weeks the snow

had been melting and everything was brown, but 

this morning everything is white and since my 

Christmas tree is put away I really needed some 

color!!!!  :)  Yay tatting!!!

Have a wonderful day with tatting!!! :)

Thanksgiving Day Tatting

Well, I had to do something while sitting and 

watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade,

so I decided to try a Pop Top Drop. I used the 

center of Diane's Capstar design.  It ended up a 

little large and loose, but I am going to use it for
a Christmas ornament so it isn't a huge deal

(although, I could take out possibly 3 rings and 

it would fit tighter then).

 Here is the back.

 Then I decide to try my idea to bring the ring 

count down to 6 for Diane.  I ended up with 7, but 

I think I did pretty well for a first try.

 And here is the back of this one.

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!! :)

Have a great weekend and happy tatting!! :)
