I tatted up a variation of the SuperSimple Angel (a pattern that I need to overhaul) today using a button instead of a center ring. I thought it turned out cute, and it is very fast. Maybe make the head a little bigger next time around?

This was designed in March 3, 2020. I was still a tatting newbie at that time, but wanted to make something practical with tatting. So, I came up the idea to tat something on the paperclip, as well…

Hey y'all, welcome to my DIY Needle Tatting (Easy Tutorial) post. You may be wondering what tatting is, tatting is a form of lace making with rings and chains made out of knots and loops. With tatting you can make dollies, shawls, lace edgings, and more. Tatting has been around for centuries, some people even

In the previous post we have seen how to work a chain of knots with picots on both sides, now we see how to make the motif shown in this ...

I have decided to do another 25 motif challenge since I had so much fun both times. This bookmark is my motif # 1 the third time around. I used Lizbeth Size 20 thread called Carousel and I did front side/back side tatting. I figured out that when I am working the directional ring if I put the shuttle through the loop before I close the ring it looks just like the opposite ring. This pattern was provided by Jane from South Africa who rewrote a pattern from an Anna Burda magazine. You can find it on Jane Eborall's blog. It's the March 11, 2009 entry.

It’s a mixed feeling that the Sugarplum tat-along ended yesterday. It’s sad to see the end of it, but also happy to see many of you are working on this project. We are truly happy and j…

This is a free instructional pattern for those who want to practice different tatting techniques. You may use this pattern as a teaching resource (but do not sell the pattern) and may do anything you like with the finished tatting. Please let me know if you find any errors in the pattern. For a printable version of this pattern click HERE. For tatters who would like more detailed instructions and step by step photos, continue reading the blog post below. To make this snowflake you will need to know the following techniques: rings, chains, picots, joins lock joins thrown rings (AKA floating rings) split rings, joining to the second side of a split ring self closing mock rings (SCMR) Josephine knots, self closing mock Josephine knots balanced double stitches using a picot gauge You can go to YouTube and find videos for most of the techniques listed above. If there is a technique that you cannot find, leave a comment below or message me using the contact form on the right sidebar of my blog and I will see if I can locate a good video for you. The balanced double stitch is a technique pioneered by Ruth Perry (you can visit her website at https://rozellalinden.net/). You can read Ruth's article about the balanced double stitch here: http://www.georgiaseitz.com/2008/ruthplongringchains.pdf To see a short video of her making the balanced double stitch go here: https://youtu.be/A3c99nb0CIg Challenge Snowflake by Robin Perfetti Begin by winding two shuttles using the continuous thread method. When using size 20 thread and a small clover shuttle, I wind 240 full wraps on shuttle #1 and 75 full wraps on shuttle #2. Most of the work will be done with shuttle #1. Round 1: Round 1 is a basic six-ringed flower, made with shuttle #1. Each ring is 2 - 2 - 2 - 2, and all picots are very small. All new rings are joined to previous rings. The final ring is a split ring and is joined to the previous ring as well as to the first ring, 2 + 2 / 2 + 2. Making a split ring enables us to climb from Round 1 to Round 2. Round 2: Do not reverse work after Round 1. Begin Round 2 by making a split ring of 4 / 4. You can leave a very small gap between the split ring of Round 1 and the split ring of Round 2 to simulate a very small picot: Do not reverse work after the split ring. Place shuttle #1 in the chain position and place shuttle #2 in your right hand. Make a chain of of 5 balanced double stitches. Balanced double stitches form a sturdy, straight chain: The next element is a self closing mock Josephine knot. It is made the same way as a self closing mock ring (SCMR), except that the mock ring is made of 12 half stitches instead of full stitches. Here is a photo of the self closing mock Josephine knot before closing: This is how it looks after closing: Making a self closing mock Josephine knot (instead of a thrown Josephine knot) will disrupt the core thread. This disruption enables the next chain to change directions and move back down towards Round 1. After the self closing mock Josephine knot, make a chain of 5 balanced double stitches. Then, tat a ring of 4 + 4 (joining to the ring from Round 1): Continue in this way around the center, until you reach the place where Round 2 began. Finish by making a lock join near the base of the 4 / 4 split ring. It takes some effort but a small crochet hook can be squeezed through the spot between the base of the ring and the first chain to make this lock join. Our threads are now in position to begin working on Round 3: Don't worry if Round 2 has slight cupping. This is by design and will flatten out after Round 3 is added. Round 3: Do not reverse work after Round 2. Keep shuttle #1 in the chain position and shuttle #2 in your right hand. Make a chain of 6 balanced double stitches: Next, make a thrown ring of 5 - 1 --- 7. If you are using size 20 thread, make the long picot 7 mm tall. If you are using size 40 thread, make a 5 mm tall picot. For size 80 thread, make a 3 mm tall picot. I used a clover picot gauge to size my picot: After closing the thrown ring, it will look like this: Next, make a chain of 5 balanced double stitches: After this, you will need to pinch a section of core thread to make another SCMR. The SCMR has a few Josephine knots thrown off it, as well as a clover. Written instructions for the SCMR are as follows: SCMR Chain: 3, do not reverse work (DNRW), switch shuttles (SS) Josephine Knot: make a ring of 12 half stitches. DNRW, SS Chain: 3 - 2, DNRW, SS Ring: 2 + (join to previous chain) 2 - 1 -- 1 - 2, DNRW Ring: 2 + (join to previous ring) 4 - 1 -- 1 - 4 - 2, DNRW Ring: 2 + (join to previous ring) 1 -- 1 - 2 - 2, DNRW, SS Chain: 2 + (join to previous ring) 3, DNRW, SS Josephine Knot: make a ring of 12 half stitches. DNRW, SS Chain: 3. Close SCMR This is what the SCMR looks like before closing: And here is what it looks like after closing: Do not reverse work after the SCMR. Make a chain of 5 balanced double stitches. Then, make a thrown ring of 7 --- 1 - 5, using a picot gauge to measure the long picot as before. Finally, make a chain of 6 balanced double stitches, and lock join to the gap near the base of the ring from Round 2: The next chain is made of 6 balanced double stitches. You can count the previous lock join as the first half of the first balanced double stitch if you want. I find that it helps to even out my tatting. (If you do this, you would tat the second half of a balanced double stitch followed by 5 full balanced double stitches): Now, make a thrown ring of 5 + 1 + 7, joining to the small picot and large picot of the previous thrown ring: You can use the point of your tatting shuttle to adjust the long picot as desired: Begin again at Round 3's chain of 5 balanced double stitches, (followed by the self closing mock ring), and continue working the instructions until you reach the final thrown ring. Joining the final thrown ring back to the first thrown ring can be tricky. You don't need to make a folded join here. Instead, you can rotate the tatting counterclockwise until it is in a comfortable position to make the join. Here is the tatting in the normal position: And here is the tatting after it is rotated into a more comfortable joining position: The first join after it is made: The closed ring after first and second joins are made: After this, it is just a matter of making another chain of 6 balanced double stitches. Cut, tie to the place where Round 3 began, and hide ends. Here is the finished snowflake:

Art has had a big influence in our lives and one of the ways art has affected many aspects of our lives is by having an influence on the mundane. It has the tendency to take the mundane and making it into a work of art. The use of thread in various forms of art is something that has become part of our life. That is why there are many options for those who want to dabble in art while still being practical. There are many simple sewing projects for amateurs that people can try to get started in this kind of art.

Well, a dragon, anyway. I really, really, really wanted to go to Tat Days this year. My parents live in Atlanta, so it would have been extremely convenient for me to get to Toccoa, and I so want to meet all of my online friends. However, it is not to be; my sister has this little graduation thingy that weekend, so I'll be in LA instead. She's going to be a CRNA-- Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist. I think most people have some idea of how hard it is to become a nurse at all, so you can imagine how grueling it is to achieve an advance practice nursing degree. Her graduation card will therefore feature this triumphantly soaring dragon. The pattern is by Anne Bruvold. I used Jane's Hand Wound Thread technique to achieve a very subtle shading. The threads are DMC size 80 color 701 (Christmas Green) and Sulky Blendables color 4021 (True Teal). I also added a few beads to the pattern. The seed beads are size 11 Delica in silver gray. I'm not sure if the eye beads have a specific name; they're just a good quality round glass bead that I got from a local bead shop, and they make great eyes for all sorts of critters. I still need to figure out what else to put on the card; I can't have the poor dragon soaring through empty space! I'm pretty sure there are going to be mountains against the horizon, which I will make with colored papers. But there's got to be some other scenery as well, and it would be nice if some of it could be tatted. I'd love to do scene with a dragon and a lake and some trees, but that won't fit on a card; it will have to wait until I have a larger canvas to work with. Meanwhile, I'm open to suggestions. I'm also undecided as to whether or not the dragon should be breathing fire. Finally, I need to thank everyone who has offered me sympathy for the loss of my beloved cat, and to apologize to everyone who has tried to communicate with me and not gotten an answer. Life is slowly returning to normal, and I'm trying to get caught up with everything, including The Thread Exchange and my blog reading.

This is the "Two Tone Coaster" from Workbasket Magazine's book "Tatting Patterns: The Classic Collection" (part of their Aunt Ellen's Treasury series). I used a smaller thread and did it in all white, and I think it makes a lovely snowflake. I suspect that with some careful pinning, I can coax the large loops into diamonds when starching. I love the nested shapes (flower-hexagon-flower-honeycomb) and contrast between the dense and open areas. Sadly, this is yet another out-of-print book and the Amazon used price has gotten crazy.

This is Frivole's 2015 Snowflake. I have been allowed to test tat it and have not done justice to how gorgeous it really is. I think I tat too tightly or something. I did block it using her blocking template, but I didn't finish the ends yet. This is tatted in size 20 Lizbeth Snow White. I have not made any progress on my secret tatting in 2 weeks. I hope to get more done this week, but my weekly scheduled has been terribly disrupted lately. I have been tatting though....I have worked on and edging to empty a shuttle, which I will post when I get the shuttle emptied. And I am working on the lanyard for my husband yet. It's taking quite some time, but he already loves it and it's not even half done. I had another tatting class last week and the one senior student just has to keep starting all over at the beginning(her hands really don't like tatting, but she wants to learn), and then other learned picots and joins(which we might have to learn again today). :) Have a wonderful day wherever you are!!! And I hope you get a chance to tat!!! :)

I made a few minor adjustments to one of my doilies and tried tatting it in two colors. In the beginning, this was progressing well...but as...

Last Saturday I met with the Oklahoma Shuttle Bugs Tatting Group. One of my tatting friends gave me a copy of Jane Eborall's flowery bookmark pattern. When I got home I picked out this lovely variegated Lizbeth Size 20 thread named sherbet delight. I thought the medium leave green goes well with it. I really like this pattern. There are split rings, self closing mock rings and special joins to keep things interesting. I still need to block it before I give it to my friend for a hostess gift. This is my motif # 12 the second time around. Jane Eborall has a very extensive free pattern page. Thank you Jane for sharing your lovely patterns with all of us! Here is the URL for the pattern: http://www.e.n.e.btinternet.co.uk/Flowerbookmark.pdf
