Robin Perfetti

 

I love Robin Perfetti's designs. I also love hand-dyed thread. So, I've decided that I'm going to increase my bookmark stash using Robin's designs in Four Dozen Tatted Bookmarks and some of my hand-dyed threads.

This is Braid: One Ring from page 24 of Robin's book. The hand-dyed thread is one that was left on a Tatsy shuttle that I pulled out of one of my shuttle storage drawers. The tag is long gone, so I have no idea of the color name or who dyed it.

This one is Braid: Two Rings from page 26 of the book. If I had just a little more thread, I would have tatted at least one more pattern repeat. 

All in all, it was a pretty good tatting day!

Braid: One Ring

 

This morning I finished Braid: One Ring from Four Dozen Tatted Bookmarks by Robin Perfetti. This was a great pattern for me to start with. I've never been very good working with bare threads in tatting. By the end of the bookmark, I became pretty good at leaving the bare thread the correct length. On to the next bookmark!
