TIAS 2017, Armenian Lace, Block
Heart
On with the show ….
More practice with Armenian Lace
My further practice with basic
knot of Armenian lace done a few days back from Totus Mel's tutorial.
I was using leftover thread for
the inner rings and ran out all too soon; hence all those ugly ends. Still to
complete the other petals to see how it all works out.

Days 7 to 9 of
Jane’s TIAS 2017
The bead adds a nice touch to the
bodice or the slim-trim waist. I’m guessing there’s going to be more of a
blouse in later bits, and an alligator join across the base of today’s rings
will complete the shawl/ensemble !
Looks like one of Jane Austen’s
memorable ladies (hmm, but which one ????) is walking up a little mound on the moors. Clearly
the present Jane is paying a TATribute to the past Jane !
Request for a test tatter
Never done this before !
I have written out the pattern
for my Block Heart bracelet and would like someone to test tat 1 or 2 heart
motifs. It’s a very small piece (2 repeats measure 1½ inches/4cms in size 20
thread), but I’m not sure how clear the instructions are. I’m making a bracelet
for now (I've changed the colours), to share before Valentine’s, but have more applications in mind.
Your help will be highly
appreciated and credited. Please leave a comment below or email me and I will email the document. Thanks in anticipation
happy tatting always :-)
I would be happy to test-tat for you!

Merci beaucoup, Mel ! I've emailed the doc. Looking forward to your feedback and suggestions :-)
DeleteYour Armenian lace projects are intriguing!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI love your TIAS! Day 8 looks like 1/2 a butterfly!! :)
I haven't really done block tatting, but would be willing to try and help if you don't have anyone more experienced to help! :)
Love your comments, Sue & yes, it does look like a beautiful butterfly. I can imagine the smaller second wing attached in overlapping manner. Must try it some time.
DeleteThanks, also, for your offer to test tat. But I do not want to instill a fear of block tatting in you :-P I think a bit of experience in blocks would be better. But I am sending you the document so that you can give me a "beginner's" perspective.
Love your fun work with Armenian lace it's beautiful I too have tried it and it is very pretty but don't like pulling tons of thread through each knot it is not my favorite thing to do. I live your block heart bracelet and will enjoy making this one, but I got too many irons in the fire 😦 some have nothing to do with tatting and makes me sad🙂
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with you about the thread length, Carollyn ! I don't have any intention of making a big project with it, either. But it was fun to learn - I've always admired Oya.
DeleteThanks for your offer, too. I know you are busy with a lot of stuff and won't burden you :-)
I'll test tat it, if you need another tester.

Thank you so much, Marie! I've just emailed it to you.
DeleteI still "see" the butterfly, but who knows? Only BC3!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to test tat the heart shaped block for you, if you like one version with size 80 thread :) or with bugle beads :))
I Know bugle beads and your excellent colour/thread choices will bring out the best, Ninetta !!! Each heart is less than 2 cms even in size 20; it might disappear in size 80 ;-P
DeleteMel & Marie are already testing. But if you still want, I'll send it to you for the bugle bead version ? I have the revised pattern in my compy, so will send it tonight (I'm just leaving for an appointment).
Grazie :-)
Do you have enough test tatters? I'm on a deadline at the moment to finish two projects but if you're stuck give me a shout.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jane :-) As you can see, some of the very best have already offered and I am quite grateful to all you dear friends for chipping in.
DeleteI wish there were more hours in the day... now I want to delve into my Romanian Point Lace and Armenian Lace again. I never did work long on either one. Somehow, I must get my life organized so that I have time to do it all! ;-)
ReplyDeleteYour block heart bracelet looks intriguing! Maybe I'll take the time to delve into block tatting as well!
and, Diane, you still haven't completed your shuttle organization or haven't posted - waiting to count them up) ;-P
DeleteWith Ninetta's gorgeous bugle bead blocks, yes, it is a technique worth delving into :-)
Your bracelet looks very interesting, if you need someone I can give it a go for you.
ReplyDeleteI like your Armenian lace looking very good so far
Thank you so much for the offer, Margaret. But Ninetta has already 'reported' back and I'll hear from the others, too. I would love for you give a go when it is finished, though, and will send you a copy ahead :-)
DeleteLook forward to that. Thanks
DeleteI love the way you do the Armenian lace on tatting/rpl! If you need a test tatter, I am available. I like the design!
ReplyDeleteThe Armenian lace is very intresting and beautiful - they intrigued me...
ReplyDeleteThanks Corina & Anetta :-) Totus Mel has uploaded another video with a beautiful edging pattern! If only I can find the time to continue ...
ReplyDeleteHi lovely block heart Muskaan!!!! I can too test tat it.
ReplyDeleteUsha, thank you so much for your comment & offer :-) I have just finalized the pattern and can send it to you if you still want to give it a go. But I can't find your email address. Please contact.
DeleteYes my email is ush99shah@gmail.com Pl send pattern. Would like to try out.
