I have often updated a post (highlighted as 'UPDATE') without any separate notification. This time I thought a special post would be good for those interested since there are quite a few. Yet as I list them, I find some should be accompanied with a photo. Hence while I rectify that omission, here is part 1 of the updates in no particular order ....
DAL Celtic Snowflake challenge. Pattern (diagram) for Padma Mandayam's adaptation of Mariola Siwek's version is now uploaded to this Google doc - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pVqM6S5Ng49xk6erSsDyRm3y7SdV2tCIUOCgltze4lM/view for you to enjoy.🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I was very impressed with the way Ninetta had started her ring seamlessly without making any 'join' by using the same joining loop as a ring loop. Well, forgetful brain did not put two and two together especially considering I have used this method before. It is basically the Ring on Picot technique which Patty Dowden demonstrated in this video -https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LmMxIBrDpRI

When I wrote about Fringe Tatting and the Tatted Fringe I did not highlight that beads could be used for the fringe, too. Eventually I made a beaded fringe inspired by and following Corina Meyfeldt's directions for Beaded Stem. Nina Libin called it Single File Beaded Picot. The beads are pre-strung on the shuttle or ball thread depending on the pattern and each fringe or beaded picot is moved in place when needed.

And finally splocik's Small Decorations 2024 since I won't be participating in her 2025 verion - December gallery (https://splocik2.blogspot.com/2024/12/male-dekoracje-2024-galeria-grudniowa.html ) and collages of entire year's works by some participants (https://splocik2.blogspot.com/2025/01/male-dekoracje-2024-podsumowanie-i-3.html) ... links added to my final post (https://tipsaroundthehome.blogspot.com/2024/12/a-no-glass-ceiling.html). I am happy to have been able to submit 13 decorations.

I had sent the vapour stitch bouquet pic for PICOT Bingo, but couldn't complete the game in the way I had intended and imagined. 5 boxes still left to cross out. Natalie, too, has uploaded a 2025 bingo card, but I won't be participating. See how disciplined I am being this year?! ;-D
This is it for now. More updates will follow with some exciting revelations/discoveries!
And I still have to update some of the original posts with new links/details. Tomorrow. It's time for bed now.
Thanks for the update. Yes, joining in is fun, but a commitment.
ReplyDeleteThis helps me to organise myself, too, Jane and hopefully consolidate my memory, LOL 💗
DeleteIt is wonderful that we have still something to learn or re-learn 🥰 thank you so much for refreshing your blog - and our collective memory 🥰
ReplyDeleteBeautiful new version of the DAL snowflake!
Yes, Nin, it is always refreshing to refresh our failing memory and renew interest :-) 💗

ReplyDeleteThank you for the updates. May your discipline of 2025 lead to much beautiful lace!
Thanks for the wishes, Mel , and for commenting again. 💗 Your discipline should keep me motivated, too!
DeleteLast year I did not complete half what I wanted to do, the TTAL took up more of my time than I thought, and I will not be doing another one this year, even though my sister in law thought I should, I have a few things planned, the bingo card came and went, I am hoping to do at least one itemfor it this year. I hope you can stick to what you want to do and stay motivated, you give us all so much inspiration
ReplyDeleteI actually Loved the TTAL motif but knew I couldn't commit to it. With a lot of my time taken up with health management, I don't get enough time to tat. I am making good progress on the chosen tasks this year and hope the same for you, Margaret, including good health and spirits. 💗
