Red, white, and green

I had a very productive day today. I cleaned out a closet, reorganized some of my craft materials, and tatted two Ice Drops!

This is my third Frivolity Ice Drop in Lizbeth #151, Angel's Love.

My next trio will be in Lizbeth #152, Christmas Green Mix. I think this would also be a great color for St. Patrick's Day, but that's months away. For now, I'm focusing on Christmas!

I'm guessing I won't have much time for tatting tomorrow, and I'm not planning on spending much, if any, time on the computer. So, for all who celebrate, happy Thanksgiving!

Almost there

I had quite a bit of tatting time today, so I'm almost finished... only two pattern repeats to go!

Primrose Path doily for A Pattern Book of Tatting by Mary Konior, size 20 Lizbeth Wedgwood DK and Angel's Love

Having fun

Yes, I did get some housework done today and I did finish all the laundry, so I did not feel at all guilty about the time I took out for tatting!

I'm very happy to be halfway around the outside edge of my Primrose Path doily. With any luck, I'll finish it this weekend.

Part of my success with my Spinning Wheel goal is that I reload my shuttles as soon as I finish one. I'm always prepared with carry-along tatting!

I didn't go anywhere today, but I did take the time to start another Spinning Wheel. This one is in size 20 Lizbeth Twirlz, Midnight Mist #407. It reminds me of charcoal sketches. I think I must have received this color as a gift, as it doesn't seem like a color I would normally be drawn to. I do like the way it looks!

Blaze Spinning Wheel

I finished another Spinning Wheel glass mat today. This one is in size 20 Lizbeth Twirlz, Blaze #409. It has a similar look to Jane's HWT. However, since Jane is combining her own threads, she has many more color possibilities!

In case you haven't been following my Spinning Wheel challenge, the pattern is from Tatting with Visual Patterns by Mary Konior. It's my all-time-favorite pattern!

I also made good progress on my Primrose Path doily, another pattern by Mary Konior. This one is from A Pattern Book of Tatting. The thread is size 20 Lizbeth, Angel's Love and Wedgewood DK.

We have no school tomorrow in celebration of Lincoln's birthday. I could spend the day tatting, but I think I'm going to get my housework out of the way so that I can enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Starting the final round

I'm feeling kind of tired tonight, so I'm going to be satisfied with one primrose motif on the final round. Do you see the bow on the top left? I decided that I didn't want to look for the right side every time I start a new motif, so I marked the first one. Now I know where to go next!

Primrose Path doily is from A Pattern Book of Tatting by Mary Konior. The thread is size 20 Lizbeth, Wedgwood DK and Angel's Love.

Chain, chain, chain

Chains of blue!

The middle section of my Primrose Path doily is finished, and I'm ready four the outer primrose motifs. I do love this pattern!

Primrose Path center

The center section of my Primrose Path doily is finished! Now there are four rounds of chains. The last time I made this doily, my chains were very uneven. I'm going to try and be more consistent this time around. It's good to set goals, right?

Tat Chat Heart

I don't tat hearts very often. They're just not my cup of tea. However, this one caught my eye. The Tat Chat Heart pattern is by LaRae Mikulecky. I think it would look better in a solid color, but Angel's Love #151 was right my my chair, so that's what I used.

What to tat next? I think I'll work on my Primrose Path doily tonight while the Super Bowl is on. I really don't care which team wins. I just enjoy watching a good game!

Plenty of time to tat

Dave was working on Alison's downstairs bathroom, and Alison was busy running the kids here, there, and everywhere. So, I had plenty of time to tat!

My newest Spinning Wheel glass mat is in size 20 Lizbeth, Angel's Love #151.

Before we left this morning, I managed to finish the second primrose motif for my Primrose Path doily. I do like the red, white, and blue together!

Primrose motif

I've been looking through some of my favorite pattern books, and I'm always drawn to my Mary Konior books first. I love her Primrose Path pattern from A Pattern Book of Tatting. So, I decided to see what it would look like in red, white and blue. I think I like it!
