Work in Progress

HJ who won Umi & Tsuru's August giveaway wrote me to say that she had received her tatting of blue hearts. She showed me a photo of her WIP which was a pretty pink motif with pearls. I thought I would share what I was currently working on too.

Threads are Tuscany (cotton size 20) from LadyShuttleMaker. Beautiful Curly Maple shuttle is from David Reed Smith. I love this shuttle. It just fits my fingers and tats very well. The wood is so beautiful and I find the pointed tip very useful for unpicking. I highly recommend David's shuttles.

What am I tatting, well . . I am following a pattern from this book on pg 72. What is it? You will have to wait and see.
