I didn't have anything to post yesterday, because I spent most of the day working on my design and pattern for Tatting Corner Tat Days. Sorry, no sneak peeks or sharing of the pattern until after Tat Days, July 5-7!
After sending off my pattern for test tatting, I decided to play with the thread I had left on my shuttles. I kind of like the way this one turned out. Dave named it Hexagon Ice Drop. The pattern's really pretty simple.
Tat the basic Ice Drop using two shuttles.
For round 3:
Ch 9; reverse work
Ring: 6+6, joining to picot on chain from round 1; reverse work; switch shuttles
Josephine ring (I used one ds followed by 11 second half stitch); switch shuttles
Ch 7; reverse work.

Repeat pattern five times. Cut, tie, and hide ends.
