Finished gift

I have wanted to tat a pair of baby booties, but both my grandsons are boys. A special friend is expecting a baby girl next month, so this is my opportunity. The pattern is in Cathy Bryant's book. I used DMC Cordonnet in size 20. The booties are about 3 inches long. Hubby says they won't fit, guess I will find out when the baby gets here.

Teaching Tatting

I just registered for the Shuttle birds Tatting event in May. I'll be teaching needle tatting at the event. My first classis  basic needle tatting class -  We will make true rings as shown in the edging above with the bare thread spaces between the rings. Students will make a motif using the ring and chain method.  

My students will practice their new skills by making a snowflake with floating or non-floating rings.
