Martha was challenged to try reproducing a flower she saw at Palmetto. The first flower is from Erin's herringbone hookup class. Riet's Palmetto Night Owl class pattern was designed for an earring, but Martha used a larger thread to make it a Christmas ornament instead. The pink flower is what Martha's reproduction of the flower she saw. Check out her blog for step by step instructions to make your own.

In her first bilingual posting she shows us how she converted some enamel earrings into a pendant with tatting. Then she tatted around a ring to make a little sun and hung it beside her son's bed.
Sherry has created a series of wonderful hook pens for use in tatting. She has mounted a fine hook in a retractable pen which is flat so the hook serves dual purpose of holding your place in your pattern book and holding that pesky hook so that it neither stabs you unexpectedly, nor gets lost down the side of your chair.
