Cigdem used Lizbeth in black size 10 , silver metallic thread and Lizbeth size 3 as a core thread to make this Celtic design pendant.

Mistene plans to make all of the motifs from Jon Yusoff's Elegant Tatted Gems. Lazuardi was tatted in Lizbeth 684, Leaf Green Medium. Sahmura was also done in the same colour. Kencana was worked in Lizbeth 688, Seagreen dark.

Lelia tatted this motif pattern from Mini Tats by Patti Duff in Lizbeth, size 20, colour 671.

Nancy really enjoyed this TIAS and now she plans to work on the rest of the 'bonus' patterns to go with this cute little train.

SunshineCraft started the mystery doily for the third time, this time using Cebelia 20, a thread that she has in large quantities.

Ancolie tatted a simple star for Christmas.

Diane chose to quit the pattern that wasn't working for her and went on to doily #4 from Tatted Fashion by Teiko Fujito. She's already on round 3 and this pattern is working much better for her. She decided to check out how much thread her new Sunlit shuttle would hold. She loaded it with what she thinks was about 4 yards of size 3 Lizbeth and this was as far as she got tatting this Mary Konior design. The Starlit shuttles, on the other hand, hold plenty of the size 3 thread to complete this pattern, with even a little thread left on the shuttle. The Sunlit shuttle held about 7 yards of size 10 Lizbeth, and you can see side by side, the Flower Fragment from  A Pattern Book of Tatting by Mary Konior, size 3 thread is on the left and size 10 on the right.

Fox finally understands this Iris Niebach design that she has done one full pattern repeat for, but now she's decided that she doesn't like the thread colour and doesn't plan on doing the other 5 repeats. At day 10 of the TIAS it looks somewhat like an Amish carriage. She has almost finished the 4th round of the Mystery Doily. The finished TIAS is revealed to be a train. Fox has added hers to a T-shirt for a special little girl.

Kristen was pretty busy on her recent trip to Hong Kong, but she did manage to finish this pretty Rose Medallion from "Mastering Tatting". She got behind on the TIAS, but she quickly caught up. At one point she thought it might be a snail sticking it's tongue out, but at her last tat she figured it was probably a train.

Margaret still had no ideas as to what the TIAS was as of day 9. By Day 10 she knew it was a train and she wanted to add a car to it, so using a little of this and a little of that, this is what she came up with. Of course then she emailed Sherry, who pointed her to the bonus patterns.

Marie's double ring bracelet was inspired by Nina and tatted in Lizbeth, size 3, Jungle Green. She was the lucky recipient of a pair of gorgeous earrings from Umi & Tsuru, made using Iris's "Preferred Necklace and Earring Set". This bracelet was designed for Rachel and tatted in Lizbeth, size 3, Jungle Greens. This shuttle is made from black walnut wood (from her grandpa's farm)and is inlaid with tatting and crystals. This vase of flowers is sitting on a doily was from Lea Rako ("Tattalittle). Here is her TIAS train, finished. The Peach Bracelet is another Rachel's Bracelets to go with the necklace designed by Jon and tatted in size 3 crochet thread.

Martha test tatted this pendant for Miranda (Tatting Fool) who has a contest for the pattern and findings to make it. The proceeds from the sale of the pattern will be donated to the New Mexico Brain Injury Alliance.

Mica used what she thinks is Lizbeth size 20 thread and the colour is "Mountain Breeze" for this design. The pattern is Quatrain designed by Frivole and although she initially planned on a 3 x 3 square but it's finally grown to 4 x 4 and she decided to stop.

Sherry's Picadilly Express train has been this year's entertainingly delightful TIAS.

Wanda was searching through her craft items and cam across a lot of tatting that has been hiding. Hair accessories that she had made back when her kids were much younger and she had long hair. There are a couple of head bands and a snood as well as a lot of decorated barrettes, mixed in with miscellaneous other items. Maybe someday her granddaughter will want to play dress-up or something with them.

Flowers, Doilies, Bracelet, Necklace, Motif, Edging and Heart

Wooroosa shows us this very attractive flower motif designed and tatted by Concerto, a Korean tatter.

Fox is delighted that on Row 4 of the Mystery Doily there is no buckling or cupping. Perfect Quilter is the best thread for Iris Niebach's design, although Sulky wasn't too bad.

Marie has made another bracelet using an adaptation of Beth Zipay's TatChat Shuttle pattern in Lizbeth size 3, Ocean Sunset and again in Ocean Sunset with an outline in black.

Orsi enjoys working with smaller threads because you can put much more on your shuttle so making things like this necklace is enjoyable.

Wanda decorated a chocolate box with tatting using brown paper with a sparkly decoration. Then she taped together dollar bills, folding them accordion style and taping the ends to the top and bottom of the as an intriguing way to present a wedding gift. A 6 inch by 6 inch canvas bag was decorated with tatting as a gift for a little girl.

Necklaces, Earrings, Doilies, TIAS, Bracelet and Cross

Cigdem used Lizbeth size 10 in black Cordonnet and Czech jet black seed beads to create this spooky spider and spider web set of necklace and earrings.

Jessica finished going back and redoing those last three rows on the doily and it's definitely working better, but not 100% the way she wants it.

Diane is becoming very frustrated with this doily, called Trefles, from La frivolite fine et precieuse, since she has spent so much time snipping and re-tatting. On round 2 some of the chains were overlapping and on round 3 some of the clovers are lopsided. Sometimes apparent stretching or ruffling on one round is pulled into shape by successive rows, but this one doesn't look like it's going to shape up so she's wondering if anyone else has done this pattern or if they can recommend another pattern for a 14 inch doily.

Fox tatted this pattern by Iris Niebach: Milena, from her Tatted Doilies book using a sample of Sulky which is about size 100. Here is her try in Lizbeth size 40 which was just too twisty and wouldn't sit right. Before that she tried it in Perfect Quilter, but the pattern was too confusing in the variegated thread. Here was the earlier attempt, in a DMC #80 thread sent to her by by Ninetta. The Mystery Doily is moving on to row 4. Here is a fun tat from Nancy Tracy. Then there was a dramatic SNIP as she discovered a mistake in round 4 that needed to be removed but accidentally cut into the third row at the same time. The saga of the mystery doily will continue.

Margaret is using Lizbeth thread no 20 Purple Splendor for her TIAS. Day 8 is completed and she still has no idea what it is.

Marie made a matching bracelet to go with her new necklaces using Beth's Z.'s "TatChat Shuttle" pattern in size 3 Lizbeth, Country Turquoise med.

Martha tatted this cross from Fun With Split Ring Tatting by Karen Bovard and added a tail for a bookmark. This continues her personal challenge to tat patterns from books she owns but hasn't worked from yet.
