Minor repair

As often happens, I found a mistake in the previous row while tatting in green. Luckily, it was a simple mistake, a missing section of chain. So, I snipped out the mistake, tatted the correct length of chain, and returned to the final round.

I wouldn't have had the confidence to do that a few years ago. In fact, I probably wouldn't have thought of it! I know I would have snipped off the entire round and started over. I'm so glad I've learned to look at mistakes in a different way. I credit that to all the wonderful bloggers who share their tips and techniques. Thank you all!

I had enough thread left on my shuttles to tat another Emmy Liebert motif. I'm really enjoying this little pattern!

More motifs for Michelle

I was able to tat three more motifs for Michelle's tatting students today. This Emmy Liebert motif from Georgia Seitz's Online Tatting Class is very addictive, and it's a great way to use up thread left on shuttles!

Motif tatting

My friend Michelle put out a request for motifs for her tatting students, something I just couldn't resist!

I've been wanting to tat this Emmy Liebert design from Georgia Seitz's Online Tatting Class. I think it's perfect for showing possibilities to Michelle's young tatters!

If you look at the two carefully, you will see that there is a design element change in the violet motif. I followed the wrong part of the pattern for the three bottom chains! I still think it looks nice. It just isn't Emmy's design. My goal is to finish the five motifs over the weekend and mail them off on Monday. I think that's do-able!
