About Me

- 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.

'tis the season to be jolly
What a sweet Christmas tree design by Nancy Tracy . It was tatted in Altin Basak and will form part of the design in the Christmas card swap that I involved in this year.

Robin
Isn't this robin pattern cute? As soon as I saw it on Jane Eborall's webpage I knew that I wanted to tat it.
Unfortunately it did not cure my crave, because I now want to tat it again :)

Bracelet
This bracelet was tatted in Altin Basak size 10 at the request of a friend who has a passion for black jewellery. Hopefully her passion will steer towards finer thread next time, as I prefer size 20 or 30.
The ends of the bracelet attach to each other through a small magnetic clip.

Network
This square was based upon a design by Mary Konior in Tatting with Visual Basics. The repetition in the pattern made it a great one to tat whilst watching television.
My square was tatted in Coats Mercer 20 and is slightly larger thatn Mary's design. This is because the television show that I was watching was interesting and distracted me when I was meant to be 'decreasing' the number of stitches. Ahh, don't we just love 'pattern re-designs' :)

Celtic flutterby
Can there be enough flutterbies in the world?
Rozella Linden is doing her best to bring beauty into the world by creating gorgeous designs like Fred Flutterby.
He has flown out of the Celtic Tatting:Knots and Patterns book and is tatted in Altin Basak 50.

Prince the Parrot
What a joy this cheeky fellow was to tat. And such a perfect use of those left-over threads that we all find on our shuttles.
This little fellow took several months to tat, because he was my 'stand-in chap' for when I didn't have a larger project to work on. I guess he got worked on each time I needed to free a new shuttle up from left-over threads.
Prince Parrot was designed by Mary Parrott and was tatted in many shades of Altin Basak size 50.
