The Eighth Day


Must admit I am not pleased with how this snowflake came out, I had difficulty in getting the hang of tatting it and really need to practice block tatting techniques.  I definitely do not want to revisit this particular snowflake so will start the ninth one this evening











Pop-a-bobbin shuttle making has been almost non-existent over the past six months due to so many other things happening.  This picture shows that some are in the process of being made and in the garage.  We are now waiting for the next dispatch of crochet hooks from Japan, but as usual they are being held up at Customs.

  2. Those snowflakes are worth the effort, a bit of practice on different techniques; some of them are even fun. Enjoying watching your progress and must tell you how much I love my shuttle. Looking forward to the next batch.

  3. Wonderful wood colours! One thing about doing a challenge is that you can go onto the next one without perfecting the current one - some of my Teiko motifs were far from perfect.

  4. I have not tried that snowflake yet. The block tatting intimidates me! As I've been organizing my shuttles, I've unearthed some Pop-a-bobbins that I forgot I had. They are lovely! I hope your shipment arrives soon.

  5. I think your block tatting blocks look fine. If you could pin it out symettrically and block it I think you would happy with it. Sorry for saying "block" so many times.
