End of the year

I haven't been very good about blogging in 2025. Part of it is that I'm getting more forgetful as I get older. Another part of it is that so many people I met through blogging are no longer posting.

I've been thinking a lot lately about all of the wonderful tatters I have met through blogging, and I've decided that I'm going to make a greater effort to blog in the new year. I do want to keep in contact with the friends I have made through the years, and blogging seems to be the easiest way.


Today I tatted my last 2025 ornament. I did manage to tat ornaments for my friends at school, but I did not get around to tatting for family. My remedy for this... start tatting in January for next Christmas!


Our school district has been working on connecting with graduates, and January 9 will be Alumni Night. Every Friday is school spirit day when we are encouraged to wear school colors. I've been in the mood to knit the Stitch Sampler Cowl by Wool & Company in gold. The yarn I'm using is Galway #179 from The Plymouth Yarn Co. I've knit this cowl before in white, and I think I'll knit a third in green.

I've been busy organizing my tatting books and patterns I've saved from the Internet. It's amazing how many I've collected over the years. Maybe I'll blog about my books. It will give me a chance to revisit some old friends!

  2. Il blog deve essere un piacere non un obbligo, per cui anche se ogni tanto non pubblichi non è un problema.
    L' idea di iniziare subito a preparare la roba di Natale è ottima, avevo la stessa idea anche io
