A purple kind of day



I started off the day tatting Stars in Stars by Eliz Davis aka Tatknot. It's a simple pattern to follow, and I like the way Eliz chose to weave another star across the top.


I practiced this oya fan pattern again today. It's looking better, but it's not nearly as nice as the one in the video.


I am happy with my improvement! Maybe the next time I'll have enough thread to finish the motif!


It was snowing this morning, so I was inspired to tat a snowflake. This one is "Alison" from...


Twenty to Make, Tatted Snowflakes by Jennifer Williams. This looked like one that could be adapted for an Ice Drop, so I gave it a whirl.


I think it turned out pretty nicely!


I suppose it would look better if I did front side/back side tatting, but I don't want to work that hard, and the technique confuses me.

I'm not sure I'd be able to explain how I tatted this, but I will try again. I messed up on some of the rings with picots. I can see the rings that are incorrect, but I'm sure it wouldn't be noticeable to non-tatters.

Yes, it's been a purple kind of day. I wonder which color I'll choose to use tomorrow? 😀
