Heh. Just back from lace retreat. As librarian, my job is to haul the books. I was laughing at having 500 years of lace history in my trunk on the #EV board.
Someone described this as "tetris level" packing. I guess it is.
Lacemakers have transferable skills.
My tatted collar is finished now.

Oh, beautiful! 8- )
I see some similarities to a #Tatting pattern, with the snow patches as "rings", the branches as "chains" and the leaves as *wildly* different "picots".

A new tatting book arrived from https://www.learnshuttletatting.com/ and I think it’s a great guide for beginners learning how to do shuttle tatting. I’ve written a review https://yarnplayertats.blogspot.com/2025/02/reviewing-book-frivolite-by-sparrow.html?m=1 #tatting #shuttletatting #howto #lacemaking #newbook
Lace-related rumor: CBS Sunday Morning program in the US will have a #Lace segment on this weekend (barring any breaking news disruptions).

"Not to be confused with Tattooing" is how the Wikipedia article on tatting begins, and now my mind is busy imagining What If.

I should add the free pattern for this #tatting project. It started out as snowflakes, but my thread said we were only doing 4 repeats instead of 6, but I liked them this way anyway.
Also realized I forgot to alt-text them before. They are a square shape set of 3 ring motifs in each of the 4 corners of a square shape, with some bugle beads and seed beads in the center. They hang from one corner.
Free pattern, beginner friendly:

I have been doing #lace projects, but one of them I can't show because it's a competition piece.
But I did finally finish these earrings, with #tatting thread hand-dyed by @yarnplayer that have me yearning for spring.
I did them in white as snowflakes and liked them, so tried again with this lovely lilac theme.
Tatting in progress from the “Tourmaline” hand dyed thread batch, with brass colored beads. The pattern is “Cocoon” from the book “Marilee’s Beaded Tatting Finery”. #WIPWednesday #tatting #tattingjewelry #beads #earrings #handdyed
Just listed a new batch of “Tourmaline” hand dyed thread in my Etsy shop (link in bio). #handdyed #handdyedthread #tatting #lacemaking
