Certified Master Tatter, Anita Barry, shares 2 of her latest creations with Tat Land! And I am honoured that she graces my 600th post!
What could be better?! It took a full community and some extra special friends to get me to where I am today.
So first, her Rainbow Coin Tatting Purse. It has several interesting features.
Notice the mock toggle in the center? This knotted chain was taught by Karey Solomon.
The main body uses a picoted lock join that Dora Young used effectively in recreating crocheted doilies in tatting in her book ('All New Knotless Tatting').
Such a thrill to see the new intruding picots being used in the foundation row with all subsequent rows worked around and above. Alternating regular and intruding picots allowed the initial single chain to have joining picots along both edges. Clever!
This tiny purse has a wealth of knowledge stored within! Will certainly tat it ...

I Love You More Necklace and earrings patterns! I see Karen Bovard Sayre's influence here, with all these split rings ;-D
I was hoping to tat the heart while posting, but it will have to wait for another day. Wonder if I'd be able to flesh out the necklace heart a bit - more curvaceous ;-P

Many many thanks, buddy , love you !
Beautiful little purse! Congratulations for your 600th post! 👏👏👏🥳🎉🎉🎉
ReplyDeleteThanks to you, too, Nin :-D You are one of my extra special friends!
DeleteInteresting thread used for the purse. Is it yarn or a thick crochet thread?
ReplyDeleteJane, my extra special friend, as well :-)))
DeleteShe used RatTail cord for the purse - she said it was "thick and slippery"; not easy to work with.
The colourway is quite vibrant, though ;-D
Lively purse. Tatted purse, an interesting idea.
ReplyDeleteIt really is quite a happy purse, thanks Marja :-)))
DeleteCongratulations! That is a formidable number of posts!! The purse reminds me of my earliest crochet project: A similar coin purse worked in variegated, though not so vibrant colors. That heart necklace makes me think of a strawberry, or a cluster of grapes. A very endearing design and is going on my list!
ReplyDeleteHubby wanted me to do a giveaway but I haven't left my home for over a year, & I don't want to increase his workload ;-P
DeleteThe purse is actually inspired by a crochet purse! Good catch :-)
Yummy cluster of grapes/berry in the right colours, true!!!
Congratulations Muskaan! 600 posts! Incredible! Whoop-Whoop! And, Forward you go toward the next 600 posts:) Yes. It takes a community of encouraging & inspiring friends. I am honored. Thank you Muskaan. Your friendship is one of my treasures!
ReplyDeleteI am certainly blessed that tatting and blogging has brought me some very nice friends. Despite being in the virtual world, our bonding is quite real!
DeleteThanks, Anita, I hope readers don't get bored with another 600, LOL
