E17 - 3D Egg Shell.- one half. 

This could well be a mini bowl!

E31 - Lacy Bowl (partial)

This is what she said - "My bowl did not work well as I chose the wrong thread. It is cotton embroidery thread and is so difficult to tatt. I like the colors though.
I did not complete the whole pattern.

It goes well with little chicks. Perhaps I make it as a pin cushion cover.
I enjoyed the pattern and will do it again."

15. Anna Tedesco -

E17 - 3D Egg Shell

As always, Anna tatted more than just one! She is a 'Faster Tatter'!

E31 - Lacy Basket "for a little chick" with a slightly modified handle.

E3- Chocolate/Fruit Basket embellished with colourful tatted flowers

As you can see in the roundups, most participants tatted more than one beautiful model and also played at creatively displaying their work. Most of them have also participated in several of our games and continue to do so. It is what gives us extra energy to think up new ideas for each game of the month.

We would also like to extend a special thanks to Brookie, Daniela, Krystyna, and Paola Bevilacqua for taking the time and effort to share their derivative patterns in time for the game! 

A huge thanks and hugs from 

Ninetta and muskaan

Many many thanks to all our talented participants and designers!

Paola Bevilacqua's Pitcher with ladle (E18a+E44)
 for #giftmeEndrucks March2023 

Our Game of the Month for March 2023 was sort of a continuation for the February #PickMeEndrucks game (roundups in April). Having tatted all those motifs, we needed to collect and display them in a basket or bowl, etc., in order to gift. Hence we called it Gift Me Endrucks and the patterns were from the Basket Directory (which contained both 2D and 3D patterns). Of course, tatters were free to create a new derivative which we are happy to note happened as the model above shows. Some designers were requested to create a shareable pattern of their old models, and they enthusiastically complied! 

#GiftMeEndrucks Mar2023 -- Endrucks 1920 Project FB group

All patterns derived from Endrucks' book ‘Die Schiffchen-Spitzen’,1920 and now compiled in ....

The images are arranged from Z to A, and while the participants might be few, most of them tatted more than one model from the same or different patterns!

5. Muskaan -

https://tipsaroundthehome.blogspot.com/2022/07/forgotten.html

My intention was to either stuff it and use as a pin cushion, or line it with transparency sheet for shape and usage. However, besides joining the 'lid' with metal jump rings, I didn't do anything further. Nevertheless it has turned out perfect for my air pods, situated cozily in my bedside drawer.

tat-along doily

Pin It now!

Our new game in the Endrucks 1920 Project FB group has started. This time it's a tat-along of the cover doily. We are following Reiko Akamatsu's reworking of the original. And we are sharing 2 options. I am tatting it in 2 or more colours without climbing out. Ninetta is working it in one-pass using split chains, etc. to climb out. Of course Frau Endrucks herself tatted it in one pass using shadow/extra chains to climb out.

Tat-along of endrucks' cover doily #TALmeEndrucks jan2023 

Part 1 - Rounds A,B,C. I used the measured mock/inward picot to climb out of the central ring which can be tatted as a true ring or a mock ring.

Interestingly, this is the only pattern where Endrucks starts with a chain (aka mock ring)!!! Hadn't noticed it before. There is always something new cropping up.

Actually this was my 1st attempt where I used false ctm to climb out of the central blue ring. I kept the blue on the shuttle and continued with green ball. So not happy with the work which becomes even more glaring in the pic. 

PART 2 - Rounds D,E.  This is where the difference between individual rounds and continuous tatting emerge. Details are in the notes in the Part 2 pdf.

I tried Frivole's Ending on a Chain to avoid hiding ends but the thread broke and I had to start over.

Tatting as separate rounds gives us the freedom to increase our colour palette. Both rounds can be tatted with one shuttle and ball, including block tatting.

I am going for a peacock rendition, hence the choice of these colours. I chose size 40 and this time all 3 colours I used are from different brands! Green - Swati; Purple - Anchor; Blue - Gopal.

Doesn't the top make a nice little basket?! Would love to tat it separately and fill it with flowers.
