About Me

My photo
Hi. I live in Canberra, Australia, and started tatting early in 2009. Consequently, I've now caught the 'tatting bug' and hope to be infected for a long while.

This pattern was designed by Mary Konior and is from her book Tatting with visual patterns. Yellow seems to be a pretty colour for a hanky.

This doily was designed by Teiko Fujito, from her book Tatted fashion, and tatted in Altin Basak size 30.

Hmmm... now to find a piece of furniture that would do justice to a blue and white doily.....

It didn't take long to decide which pattern to use for the recent bookmark exchange. It's pretty hard to go past Jane Eborall's flowery bookmark.....

Winter has hit hard, hence the need to tat some mittens (IMHO).

This mitten was designed by Martha Ess and is from her book Holidays on the Block

I am one of the priveleged tatters that owns a Jan Stawasz book. Hoorah!!

This necklace was taken from his book 'Tatting theory and patterns'


I wasn't sure which length to make the necklace, so I used a clasp on both ends. That way I can just clip it onto whichever loop was the most appropriate for the outfit that I wear on any given day.

I haven't done much bead work before. It is a bit more fiddly than normal tatting, but seems to add a nice touch.

Forever Young

What a beautiful name Teri Dusenbury gave this doily - 'Forever Young'. She's very clever and creative in her ability to insert a variety of shapes within a small round doily.

This one was tatted in size 20 Coats Mercer cotton.
