New Year, New adventures

As 2018 draws to a close, it's time to think back on all the good times I had. I was able to attend 4 tatting workshops. Many yards of thread passed through my fingers. 2019  is going to be a great year. I am already making plans to attend tatting events. I'm also going to venture into teaching tatting  and have been accepted to teach at several tatting events. I plan to do more blogging about my tatting adventures.

These lovely non-melting snowflakes are from a pattern purchased from the Tatting by the Bay Etsy store. Robin's designs are wonderful.  I  have been practicing with picot gauges. I prefer designs that are not too picot intensive. 

First Snowfall

We have had a few flurries here in Kentucky. I'm thankful that  it  is has been too warm for snow, 2018 broke the record for most rain in a year.  The name of this snowflake is  First Snowfall and the pattern can be found on Robin Perfetti's blog.

Poor Neglected blog

Has it really been so long since I posted. It's not because I have not been tying knots. I have been shuttle tatting and needle tatting and even Cro-tatting. The above photos show some of my efforts with the Cro-tatting hook. These were done with size 10 thread and the 1.5 mm Prym hook. This has been a learning experience for me. I've learned so much I have volunteered to teach Cro-tatting at the Fingerlakes Tatting Event in April 2019.
