It has been a while, but I am still tatting. I have completed my first two rounds of the mystery doily and am about half way with the third. A little pressing with the steam iron was all that was needed after the second to lay flat! I was impressed. Picture has been modified to show the colors against a white background. They are actually lighter in color than shown here.

I am also working on a lanyard. The pattern is by Patti Duff. It is coming along well. The thread is called Tigerlicious hand-dyed by Jess (aka Tat-ilicious) in size 20.

For the November Snowflake Tat-It Challenge, I have designed and tatted a simple snowflake. I have another two on paper but have not had a chance to tat them. I will be posting the pattern for the snowflake sometime next month. Need to diagram it first and block the snowflake I made so it looks nicer.
I purchased some Sulky halographic thread the other day, I plan on using this with some white thread for a small angel. Stay tuned to see how that turns out.
