A day early, but we love our tatting year round, don't we?! So, keep your tatting tools and materials ready, choose your pattern, friends, and location, and have a blast with chocolate, tea, and chatting!!!
Tatted in Lizbeth size 20, with half-closed rings (HCR) instead of chains or bare thread to bridge the distance. A single-shuttle pattern obviously.
I did use a folded picot gauge for the HCRs , but messed up with some of the rings. Of course the sure shot method would've been to use beads.

🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 Once again, a very happy International Tatting Day to all 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
That’s very clever. Happy international tatting day to you too. I plan to work on the next round of the Spring doily tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteHow I wish I could join in with the Spring doily - such a lovely pattern! Enjoy, Jane 💖🍫
DeleteLovely mofit, very clever how you did some of the rings more closed than others, I would love to try this pattern, but I am sure I dont have this book, will have to look though the book case.
ReplyDeleteHappy International tatting day, its a bank holiday here and I intend to work on a bookmark for a change from the TTAL
Thanks, Margaret, it is a very simple pattern - something you can tat up on your own. The HCR cord is so flexible and forgiving, unlike bare thread or tatted chains. Oh, reminds me I have a bookmark tatted but not blogged! Enjoy 💖🍫
DeleteLooking forward to this new adventure! I am a bit intimated by the designing aspect. I am working on the last 2 rounds of the Renulek 2023 spring doily
ReplyDeleteYou may find that the designing emerges as a natural 'side-effect', Debra 😃 But fear not, you set your own goals. Looking forward to your progress on the Spring doily! 💖🍫
DeleteLovely motif! It's amazing how the old books reveal always something "new" when we have the chance and the time to tat with attention even one pattern from them!
ReplyDeleteWell said, Nin, absolutely true! 💖🍫
DeleteThank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWelcome, Carol, hope you have a great tat-chat-chocolate-chai day ahead 💖🍫
DeleteWhat a pretty motif! The colorway you've chosen is lovely, too. Such nice inspiration for a day dedicated to tatting. :)

Thanks, Stephanie 💖🍫 Hope you have a wonderful day planned, too! I did do some tatting this morning - will show soon - along with the other 'rituals' 😁
DeleteThis motif is so pretty, and the colorway perfectly enhances the beauty!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sue, hope you had a great day celebrating tatting! 💖🍫 I am often vary of using variegated threads, but this one worked out beautifully.
DeleteOh look!!! I just opened my I.O.L.I. bulletin -- what a lovely article!!! Congrats. I'm looking forward to trying the 6-point interlaced motif ; ) I made a couple of interlaced pieces, patterns by Betty Alderson. I like the design you have in the article and the colors!! https://lelia-stitchesoflife.blogspot.com/search/label/Betty%20Alderson
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you enjoyed the article and am looking forward to your version of the motif!!! Thank you, Carol! 😍🍫 My copy of the bulletin takes over 6 weeks at the earliest to reach me 😁
DeleteHi, this is a nice and beautiful technique, I remember you also posted a heart with these rings.
ReplyDeleteYou have a very good memory, Marja! 😍 Thank you🍫
