Tuesday Tats

The next pattern I chose to tat was the edging "Martha" from "Tatting Patterns and Designs" by Gun Blomqvist and Elwy Persson. It's a pretty little edging, done in two rows.
 Tatted in DMC varigated blue, size 80.

I see that the first chain is a little too loose and I could improve a bit on my picots, but it looks quite delicate. Perfect for a pillowcase edging, don't you think?

It's tiny in this thread, and I think I shall tat with a larger guage next time as it's a bit difficult to see  clearly, especially at night. Old eyes. ha!












Have a great day!
Thanks for visiting.
Hugs from Suz

  4. That looks very delicate. I understand the old eye thing. Tatting looks quite taxing on the eyes - knitting is easier on them!

  7. You're right, Janet, knitting is easier on the eyes. Guess if I want to tat, I'll have to use fatter thread. Hugs

  9. Karen,that's a good idea, and I have one in my art room, but in the evening I sometimes like to keep DH company watching TV, but the light's too bright---it's like a runway on the screen! I'll send you some questions. Hugs

  13. Well, Fox, I've tried size 100 thread, too, but when it tangles, or I have to tonk, well, the air does turn a little blue, and the dog and DH quickly leave the room. lol Hugs
