Reading day

Yes, I took another day for reading. I am really enjoying Demelza by Winston Graham, the second book in the Poldark series. I also spent quite a bit of time surfing the Internet and reading blogs about weaving, woodworking, calligraphy, cooking, photograph, as well as the blogs I follow. The time sure disappeared quickly!


So, I only did a little bit of tatting today.


I was reading and watching videos about landscape photography with the iPhone.


Dave's been busy cutting up fire wood, so I used his logs as my subject matter.


I'm not sure I understood what I read, but I had fun experimenting!


Every once in a while, I pull this book of the shelf and look through it. I've had this book for years, but I've never tatted any of the patterns. I think I'm put off by the notation. I really should take the time to diagram at least one pattern, but I get too distracted by other things!

  2. Your photographs look great :-) I don't like the middle one much (the shed on the right seems to be encroaching ;-P) but the other 2 are lovely compositions.

  3. With any of those old patterns, you first have to translate the notation. And, be warned, the instructions don't always match the pictures. Get a good magnifier and be guided by the pictures, rather than the text, if there are discrepancies.

  6. Ooh, the Tatter's Treasure Chest! If you do pull anything out of it, I recommend the Starlight doily.
