Lovin' Lavender


I loved the size 20 Lavender HDT thread from Yarnplayer so much, that I decided to tat every last bit of it with Mary Konior designs. If I could only keep one of my tatting books it would be Tatting with Visual Patterns by Mary Konior.

Top left is "Dress Trim." Center is "Flower Patch." Top right is "Masquerade." On the bottom is just half of "Anniversary Motif." I will tat the full motif. It just won't be in Lavender. : )

Lovin' Mary Konior!


Yup... I had the urge to tat another Spinning Wheel glass mat by Mary Konior! The Lizbeth "Juicy Watermelon" just kept calling my name and urging me to tat with it! What's a girl to do?

I did decide to expand my horizons and tat another design from Mary's fabulous Tatting with Visual Patterns. Call me silly, but I never had the urge to tat the little piece in Lizbeth "Caribbean" because of it's name... "Dress Trim." I didn't have a dress I wanted to trim, so there was no need to tat it!

The other night, I was taking a break from tatting, and I decided to read... yes, I said READ... some of Tatting with Visual Patterns. I was interested in Mary's information on designing with hexagons. Funny, I had never thought of this design as a hexagon until I read the information. Sometimes I can be so dense!

So now my next decision is... do I content myself with one motif and move on to another design? Or, should I tat some more and make a doily or a table scarf? I guess I'll just have to wait and see where inspiration takes me!
