TIAS 2021

 Jane Eborall has done it once again.  TIAS (Tat It and See) is now complete. I used hand dyed thread I had in my stash.  I can definitely see tatting this again.  It is not to late to start if you need a fun project to tat.  Once complete, submit your picture so others may see it.  There are tatters all over the world that join in the fun.

Playing with Dyes

 

Was able to get out my dyes this past week.  Decided to play and make color blocks.  Using Turquoise, Grape and Yellow, this is what was done.  Was looking for a specific color of blue/purple.  Think I have found it.  Pretty colors for solids or variegated thread.  More color blocks are on the way.  Interesting how just a tweak in one color can change the outcome. 

Lagniappe Doily

After four starts because I did not read the pattern correctly (kept joining instead of putting a small joining picot), Round 5 is finally finished.  This is my home away from home project.  Therefore, I am not in a hurry to finish.  Onto Round 6!

Alenalea Rako is hosting an Advent Calendar Tat-along  2020 through Facebook.  It started yesterday; however, if you haven't joined, it is not to late.  A pattern will be given each day.  Part of the fun is it will use up left over thread left on shuttles or little pieces that you may have left over here and there.

Jane Eborall will do hosting a Tat Along starting in January.  Have missed starting a new year off with tatting.  It is wonderful she is doing this again and very thankful for her time and effort that it takes to host.  

“Dissent”

This is Marilee Rockley’s “Dissent” necklace.  My daughter asked me to tat it for her.  She then framed it.  Necklace is a tribute to Ruth Bader Ginsburg, US Supreme Court Judge, who passed away earlier this year.

Lagniappe

 

Needed a new project for my home away from home.  Thought I would finally start this doily.  Pic does not do colors justice.  Using a pale peach, peach and a varigated.  Squeezing the daylights out of it and it is coming along great.  A little pressing last night.  Thread is OMEGA size 30 which I purchased several years ago thinking this combination would be great for a doily.  Pattern is by Mike Lyon.  My plan is to only go through round 13.  

The monster doily only has 1 round to go before it is finished to my satisfaction.  This one is my at home project.  Plan is to hopefully finish it before the end of the year.  We shall see!
