Christmas Tatting


Well this was all I managed just before Christmas, which is so sad as I have the shuttles and thread to do more, but sadly no time in my busy life to do much tatting, or for that matter any other craft work.   The pattern is called Chris' Broomstick Snowflake from Martha Ess's book 'Playing with picots'









With the top two snowflakes I wound two 80 threads together, the bottom two are size 20.

My new year resolution (which usually carriers on from year to year), is to be more tidier and do do more tatting!

    1. thanks, guess it is nice to have the variety in life, perhaps we would get bored if we tatted all day!

  4. Lovely snowflakes. Amazing how using different coloured thread makes the snowflakes look so different. Especially love the vibrant red.
    Happy New Year to you and yours.
