Today was the release of Part 2 of the 2020 Linen and Threads Mystery Sampler. I haven't worked on mine in a few weeks, so I figured I should spend some time with it. I have a long way to go to finish Part 1. I'm using 18 count Aida and 12 wt. Sulky Blendables #4084. It's been a long, long time since I've done any cross stitch, and it's taking me a while to get back in a stitching rhythm.
I've managed to tat two Doodle Ice Drops today. This one is in size 20 Lizbeth #641, Dk Lilac. The shuttle is one of Dave Stanbrough's Doodle Art shuttles.
I didn't notice that I was tatting with size 40 at first. I just thought the thread felt finer. This is Lizbeth #642, Lilac Med. The shuttle is another Doodle Art shuttle from Grizzly Mountain Arts. Sometimes mistakes work out!
