M tatted Patchwork from the book Tatting With Visual Patterns by Mary Konior in Lizbeth size 20, col 601. She tried the Magic thread trick for hiding ends and had difficulties with it. She tried again with a test piece using the instructions from Georgia's site, which seemed to work better. Her next piece is the Flower Fragment, from the book Tatting With Visual Patterns by Mary Konior tatted in Lizbeth size 20, col 684 & col 142.
Mica tatted Lacy Snowflake from Tatted Snowflakes and using Kreinik braid No. 4 a warm, chocolate brown metallic color. The block tatted pattern is Day 9 from 24 Snowflakes in Tatting and was made in metallic DMC floss. Mica finds block tatting too heavy for snowflakes and she didn't really like working on this one so she's moving on and not even fixing the mistake. I'm with you, if you don't enjoy it, why torture yourself with it?
Linda has tatted up an assortment of Lizbeth threads so that we can see what they look like tatted. Some threads that look terrible on the ball tat up into luscious lavish laces and some that look scrumptious on the ball sometimes look like a dog's breakfast tatted. The the first red edging is done in Red Burst #142 and the second edging is Desert Bloom #110. The edgings are sewed on to a collar of a jacket. The third edging is jelly Bean #119 and it will go on a t-shirt. Next is Springtime #115 a very delicate color. Christmas Green Mix #152 has more white than she likes but still a nice color. Angel Love #151 also has quite a bit of white in it and you can see how some designs work better in solid rather than variegated shades. The last colour is Caribbean #122. Linda's exchange partner was Heather and she received a lovely tatted pumpkin in size 10 hand dyed orange. The earrings are Heather's own design tatted in size 30 Harvest Time HDT and the hank of HDT is size 20, Bali.
