...tatting
in my pocket
2 years back (huh, July again!) I posted a few of my verses on ‘Tatting in my Pocket’. On 3rd of this month Noelene Lafferty – the originator – revived it in the Just Tatting group on facebook!

I
wrote a new verse immediately …
((English teachers, please excuse the poor meter! ;-D))

I have simple Pony shuttles
Threads I have galore
With tatting in my pocket
I couldn't ask for more !

I
also shared my old verses there. But it is so addicting – lines kept whirling
in my head and even though I didn’t get around to sharing them on facebook, I’m
doing them here now.
To save our ecosystem, I'd
like to plant many a tree
but with tatting in my pocket
I'm on a lace making spree !
Ma taught me cooking
Pa taught me cycling
with tatting in my pocket
my hands are always singing

And
then some more ….
Sitting in the balcony
Watching monsoon shower
with tatting in my pocket
I ... have the Power
I don't need yoga
Nor do pranaayaam
Tatting in my pocket
Is my way to Dhyaan

And
more recently in O’Claire de lune’s post on lace v/s tatting, this is what I
posted
In the world of lace
Tatting has no place?!
Tatting is alive in my pocket
‘n’ will ne’er vanish without a trace.

That so weird, I just posted about a class I took where we made fluffy tails on cats it's the same principle as your carnation, great minds think alike😀👍
ReplyDelete💜💙💛💚 I'm in good company, Carollyn 😄 This flower was made back in 2017. Just wanted some pics to go with this post 😉😆
DeleteGreat fun. Some folk did get agitated about the question of whether tatting is lace. I don’t think it matters that much - have tatting in your pocket and keep on!
ReplyDeleteWise And practical advice, Jane 💖💖💖💖💖
DeleteI usually avoid such questions, but was 'in the mood' that day 😄😄😄
Another such is needle versus shuttle tatting !
Beautiful carnation and beautiful poem.
ReplyDeleteKiitos paljon, Marja 🌹💖🌹
DeleteDoes poetry about tatting make Knotty Poems? LOL
ReplyDeleteAs always, your posts are fun and thought provoking. Thank you for letting us peek at a small corner of your mind.

:-D, Linda, we are all pretty Knotty, wot?! ;-P
DeleteI was inspired to write verses when I saw little girls from class 5 & 6 writing beautiful poetry in one of the schools I taught. But one of my dear friends said the same - he wanted to see my unedited version rather than the completed poem, in order to get a glimpse of my thought process :-D
