It is a turtle pattern found on page 25 and 62 of the Japanese pattern book. I was wondering if I should have used a green thread but I rather liked this colour combination.

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;">This is not perfect as the block tatting and chains should all face the same direction. Mine was not. Tatted in three rounds using Lizbeth Size 40 Col. 115 Springtime. Did not pay attention to the photo in the book. Instructions were in Japanese but you should be able to figure it out second time round, if not initially. I was obviously not paying attention as I usually tat while watching the television.</span>Umintsuruhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16417562358986210845noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6587477576636106201.post-85236168417477131372019-11-29T20:00:00.000+08:002019-11-29T20:00:01.499+08:00Guo Pei Exhibition at ACM Part 3<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;">I forget what that stitch is called. Can someone remind me? I think I first encountered that stitch in an old pattern, It makes a pretty outer chain here. Another pattern from the same Japanese book on page 9 and 43. Tatted in Lizbeth Size 40 in Col. 158 Niagara Falls. It measures about 2 inches across.</span>Umintsuruhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16417562358986210845noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6587477576636106201.post-23117917488287977632019-11-20T20:00:00.000+08:002019-11-20T20:00:00.602+08:00Clover Pattern No 48<br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 130%;">This was quite a disaster. Had to unpick one section three times and it still came out with major mistakes. My mind was somewhere else tatting this. See the difference below comparing it to the one in the book. Tatted in Lizbeth Size 40 in Col. 179 Herbal Garden and Col. 183 Orange Crush. It measures about 2 inches across.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;">I wanted to tat something on 11 November 2019 for someone. I had done most of my online shopping in the wee hours. This pattern is from the same Japanese pattern book Tatting Lace (ISBN978-4-02-190833-0) on page 19 and 55. I am pleased with how this turned out. Done in Lizbeth Size 40 Col. 145 Pink Parade and measures just 2.25 inch.</span>Umintsuruhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16417562358986210845noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6587477576636106201.post-51156456159244115032019-11-08T20:00:00.000+08:002019-11-08T20:00:01.187+08:00Guo Pei Exhibition at ACM<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Guo Pei had an exhibition titled Chinese Art & Couture at the Asian Civilisation Museum. We visited in August. The exhibition ended in September. I took some photos of the pieces I liked. Guo Pei is a Chinese couturier who designed the famed gold dress that Rihanna wore to the Met Ball.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;">Deepavali is celebrated on 27 October this year and Little India is decked out in lights. I do not know if you can make out the peacocks, chariots and horses. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;">The Christmas lights in Orchard Road are also being put up. Seems a little early but it will be enjoyed by many.</span>Umintsuruhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16417562358986210845noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6587477576636106201.post-38447815300869101002019-10-23T21:00:00.000+08:002019-10-23T21:00:01.689+08:00Japanese Motif Pattern 9<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">This pattern involves intertwined double picots. Can you tell which motif I tatted and which one is the photo in the Tatting book? I bet you can. The book is Tatting Lace ( ISBN 978-4-02-190833) and the pattern is on pages 9 and 40. It is the blue book from this <a href="https://umintsuru.blogspot.com/2019/10/back-to-tatting.html?m=0">post</a>. I used Lizbeth Size 40 Col 625 Plum. </span>Umintsuruhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16417562358986210845noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6587477576636106201.post-1404493129733460592019-10-21T21:00:00.000+08:002019-10-21T21:00:00.772+08:00House Yamamoto<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The lanterns have changed. Autumn colours of bamboo and other flowers. I finally took notice of the name of the restaurant. A Michelin star chef prepares truffle and porcini ramen. The avocado ramen is also recommended.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">No, we did not eat there. Had lunch at Poulet instead. Roast chicken French style. Chicken was very tender with a cranberry sauce. Will try House Yamamoto next time.</span>Umintsuruhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16417562358986210845noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6587477576636106201.post-73786321626840847892019-10-17T20:30:00.000+08:002019-10-17T20:30:05.560+08:00Earring Pattern 33 v2<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This is the same pattern as the previous except I ended it earlier and made four instead of five prongs. I was hoping the beads would stand out more but the colour is a little washed out. I need to find my other Delica beads. I used the same thread Lizbeth Size 40 Col 690 Mocha Brown Light. </span></div>
