...Curds and Whey!

...I have been busy on and off making curds and whey! Why, you ask? Because it is easy and pretty!



Oh, but not this kind of curds and whey!














This kind!






Isn't this pretty! I mentioned that it was easy too
This pattern is tatted up with one shuttle, Rings only!
My cup of tea! I love and adore anything to do with 
one shuttle and rings ONLY!!!!! Easy to take with you,
no balls to worry about nor the second shuttle!


This pattern is Curds and Whey by Mary Koniors and 
this is in her  "Tatting with Visual Patterns".

I am doing this in size 20 Cordonnet, 
the colorway is Karey Solomon's "Early Rising".
I am sorry to say that my photos does not do this color justice!
The photo with the ivy background is the closest  to the colors beauty.

So far I have 18 inches!

Oh, I've looked at this pattern so many times but have never tatted it - you've given me new inspiration! The colorway is beautiful in photos - it must be spectacular in person :)

Isn't the power of suggestion interesting? Simply because the pattern is called "Curds and Whey", I never envisioned it in anything other than white. And while it is lovely in white, it is really pretty in a variegated thread. Wonderful job!

...A New Book That Surged My Tatting Fingers On!

Image
 I have few books for tatting instructions ...how to Celtic, how to needle, how to shuttle and numerous pages of patterns for tatting from online, doily this, edging that, motif those. I wanted something more or different to do. After Christmas I batted my puppy dog eyes (hubby says they are) at Hubby for a book that I wanted for Christmas but did not get. He faltered (I am so bad, I knew he would) and said for me to order it. I ordered it and it arrived sometime last week. I have been tatting my fingers off with glee!

Kliot Approximately 172 patterns, 112 pages. Includes corner and straight edgings, medallions, round doily borders,collar border. This is a most unusual and fascinating collection of tatting patterns as recorded in a New England notebook by ...

...To Chain or Not To Chain!

I have been tatting my heart out since the Palmetto Tatting Guild's Tat Days this past year. I have come a long ways since. I have researched on tattings and tried many patterns... I still am, to improve my abilities and develop "my style". My daughter has become an amazing tatter in jewelry with updated modern twist. She just amazes me to no end. As my confidence grew, my style is also growing. Maybe I should say preferences instead of style. I have learned that I do not "like" to create things without patterns. I am not "into" making things other than doilies and edgings but if needed to will do the other things. I also am not at all keen on tatting with the ball of thread, multiple shuttles, ends and sewing in ends... I like doing one shuttle, less stuff to fuss with.  Now with that said.. I prefer rings and chains. So I had to make a compromise with myself and use the ball or use the second shuttle as the ball. Then again, I am falling in love wi...
