Our last day before Christmas break, we had a teacher inservice day. I find that I pay more attention when I tat, plus I love tatting so I was able to get some snowflakes made. These first two are
Frivole's
Snow Crystals. The first one has a 1ds SCMR which was tricky until I trusted the force and just did it. It's a lot like turning a heel in a sock. If you just do what the directions say, it works wonderfully. Plus Frivole's pattern has a pictorial tutorial which is clear and easy. All three are Lizbeth, size 20 Blue Ice.

| motif #17 - LOVE this one |

| If I would just use the picot gauge and trust Frivole, this would have been a lot nicer! motif #18 |

| I think this one is from Festive Tatting motif #19 |
Only after I took these pictures and went to hang it on the tree did I realize that the hook goes the other way!
Latin for today: ludis verborum ludere amo. - I love to play word games.
Love all the snowflakes - and they look great in Lizbeth Blue Ice.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't sure how those hooks went either . . .
Lovely snowflakes! I wish I could tat during in services, but I've been told that it's inappropriate. I wonder if they've said anything to the science teacher who writes lesson plans during meetings? ;-)
ReplyDeleteYour hooks are great! They're rustic looking, which appeals to me. I wonder if there are any after-Christmas hook sales?
I am sure it was easy to fix. Lovely snowflakes. I wish I had got the patterns from Frivole and tatted some for Christmas.
ReplyDeletelovely snowflakes!

Oh, I don't know...I have similar hooks and I like using them that way. Very pretty flakes! I have difficulty focusing if my hands are unoccupied...in church I tat crosses or work on a prayer shawl and no one minds, I used to draw my way through inservices and business meetings...easier to hide :-)
ReplyDeleteLOL! I wondered how you hung them in the tree!! They look very pretty and I bet in the tree they looked fantastic.
