TIAS 2016 Days 8,9,10

Now I'm thinking a little bunny.

TIAS 2016

I've still been tatting even if I haven't been updating often enough. Here's my progress so far (up to day 8). I'm guessing it's a FROG.

                       

Twirlz

Handy hands included a sample of their new thread with the latest newsletter. Just looking at the thread makes my eyes cross, so it'll be interesting to see how it tatts up. I'm going to do up  Konior's Ring A Ring O' Roses, which I've not done before.

TIAS days 6-7, Mystery Doily and Earrings

Here is the next 2 days work on TIAS. You can see how it was cupping, before I gently stretched it out. I don't know if this means my picots are too long or too short.

I had also started in on the Mystery Doily that so many other tatters have been working on.

This weekend is Tucson Meet Yourself, and the tatting club will be there demonstrating lace. It looks like there will be even more 'folk artists' this year, and I'm looking forward to some delicious food from all the world's corners!

TIAS Days 2-5

Hmmm... Is it perhaps a pumpkin coach?

It's that time again. Sherry pence (aka LadyShuttleMaker) is running this one. I wonder what it will be! You can  catch up here.

Lizbeth fail

Almost finished tatting up a Marilee Rocklee design and the thread breaks :(    It's the same thread I used for Neibach's Amanda - Lizbeth size 40 col 665 and I have never had a Lizbeth thread break on me this much! It broke on me so much while tatting Amanda. Has anyone else had this problem?
