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!

I am going to look up the Poldark series - never heard of it!
ReplyDeleteYour 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.
ReplyDeleteWith 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.
ReplyDeleteSo many possibilities, you need more than one self!
ReplyDeleteAnother great Ice Drop!! :)
ReplyDeleteYour pictures look great to me!! :)
Yes I hear ya, 😄
ReplyDeleteOoh, the Tatter's Treasure Chest! If you do pull anything out of it, I recommend the Starlight doily.
