My Tatting

I will be traveling on November to visit my grandmother, until then I have been practicing my tatting so that I am ready for more advanced classes with her.  I decided to create this new page on my blog to post pictures of my work as I continue to learn, please note that I am still a beginner, so don't expect to be impressed :)

I will create a new page in the next couple of days with links for tutorials and other useful resources for tatters of all levels!


Colorful Doilies

I have been practicing my tatting for a while now, I find it extremely relaxing and fun. The following are two doilies I made following the pattern in one of the doilies Ceci made for my mom.


TAT This! Challenge 
I came across a great blog about tatting: tattingfool.blogspot.com where a challenge was posted to create a nice little doily.

I decided to work on this doily, which would actually be my very first doily.

I love the outcome and feel very proud of actually finishing the doily. As you can see I need to work on getting the chains more even, but I guess that will come with practice.

    You've done a beautiful job! Congratulations on your first doily! I will post the link on my blog in the morning.

    I poked around your blog a bit, too. You have a really impressive collection of shuttles. I'm so glad you're learning to use them!

    I'm so glad Miranda linked us to your new blog! It's very attractive! Your doily is excellent, and I'm so glad you have taken up tatting again! It's very special that you are learning from your grandmother!

      Thank you for commenting! glad you like the site :) I am very happy to learn how to tat from my grandma, she also taught me crochet, which I know a little more than tatting, I plan to learn knitting with her next.

      I will definitely take a look at the 25-Motif challenge!, hope you come back to visit my blog, I try to update it weekly.
