More Tatted Hairpins

I added some beads to these. In the centre is a rhinestone. Tatted in red, Denim Whisper and Purple Dark. I think I need better photos as in these you are not able to distinguish the different coloured beads.

Or can you?

 

Filet Panel WIP

 

I was amazed with Jane's project of filet crochet and remembered that Mary Konior had a filet pattern in her 'Tatting with Visual Patterns' book. So I had to give it a try. I added an extra row in between the diamonds because I wanted them separated. It is quite slow going for me but I am thrilled with its progress. According to Mary Konior, you can adapt any filet crochet pattern into tatting using this method.

Szechuan Black Noodle

 

Black noodles in Szechuan spices and chilli oil.

Very spicy but delicious.

Tatted Hairpins

I have damaged one crochet hook tatting these hairpins and they do take time to tat as I have to manoeuvre in between the tiny spaces of the filigree. Also the bead shop does not always have the shape of filigree that I prefer. These are oval in shape and tatted in Lizbeth Size 40 - Raspberry Frappe and Purple Splendour. When I have tatted more of these, I may list them on Etsy.

Stone Pavement

These pavement stones actually look shiny due to all the foot traffic. Look at the various colours. All natural and it makes such a pretty mosaic. On an incline, it may be quite slippery.

Sunburst - Flower Centre

Tension problems here or my side picots are just not large enough. Have you noticed that some flower centres are purple. Just the colour for insects to notice. There are 16 picots to connect to, which means there are 16 petals for me to tat. If it takes me an hour each, this project is another 16 hours to finish or another 5-6 nights of tatting.

On another note: I must apologize for not responding to all your comments. I do read and treasure them. I try to answer all your questions, although it may not be immediately and if it did slip my mind, please drop me an e-mail.

Lace with Shell Motifs - Sewn

 

Do the corners look strange?

I need to remember that Size 20 threads would be a better choice to edge hand towels.

The threads I used are about Size 30.

What do you think?

It is so much easier to sew in than hankies.

Also quick to tat and makes great gifts, don't you think?

Lace with Shell Motifs - Completed

 

Now this is what it should look like. This is a great pattern to practice the CWJs. I hope I won't forget the next time I need to use it. Tatted in apple green and pink to match the hand towel which this will edge. See earlier post for pattern details.

Bin It?

Instead of throwing it into the bin, re-invent and make it into a hair scrunchie or a lacy collar for Tsuru. Since the colour isn't suitable for Tsuru, a hair scrunchie it is.

Pauline's Angel #2

After posting Pauline's Angel a few days back, I was wondering why the skirt does not look quite right. I went back to the diagram and realized it was not right. So here is Pauline's Angel and how it should look.

Yes, I had fun looking for the beads for this angel.
