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!!! :)

I got another "confetti" ornament done

For some reason when I tat these it feels like it 

takes forever to reach the end of the tatting.
This one is tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Angels Love.

With a larger "confetti" disc.

Here it is on the tree.

Here it is on my hand so you can see the size.

Here it hangs next to the small one.

Here is one of the first I tatted years back.

And here is another of my firsts.

This shows I must have used size 20 thread for the 

firsts, and I somehow used a different stitch count 

for the chains because today's has longer chains.

I hope you are all doing well and enjoying time 

getting ready for the coming holidays!!

Have a great tatting filled day!!! :)

 

A Sweetheart Necklace Pendant

Well, I am actually still tatting along!! :)
I bought some heart beads just recently 

and showed them.  Well, I finally got 

around to working with one.  I wanted a 

nice heart pendant that might sell well.
So, believe it or not, I sat down and 

designed this today and all I have to do 

is sew in ends and then either tat or 

buy the chain.
I am pleased!!! :)

The front side has beads, the back does 

not.  There are 8 beaded picots(3 on each 

of the top sides and 1 on each side near the 

point) which are joined to the back to 

encase the heart.  I am thankful it turned 

out well and that it went so quickly!! :)
Tatted with size 20 Lizbeth Rainbow Splash.

I am getting ready to work on another 

"confetti" ornament for my tree, this time 

green disc with red and white tatting.  ;)
Happy tatting and have a wonderful 

Sunday!!! :)

 

A little tatting

I  got these "confetti" discs quite some time ago.
Here are the first posts I used them in:
https://hiskid66.blogspot.com/2018/08/accomplishing-some2nd-post-today.html
https://hiskid66.blogspot.com/2018/08/up-since-4am-and-some-tatting-done.html
https://hiskid66.blogspot.com/2018/09/so-busy.html
So, I took them out and started another.  This one 

is one of the small discs tatted with size 40 Lizbeth 

Christmas Green Mix.

The picture below shows the variegated color better, 
and the size is easier to tell.

Below is a picture of the discs in the pack.

I am also wanting to get some of my Pop Top Drop 

ornaments tatted.
I have a Bridal necklace and earrings that I just have 

to add finishing touches and then I can show them.
Hope you have a wonderful tatting filled weekend!!! :)
