These are a few of my favorite things!!Welcome back again! These are the pictures I referred to in the podcast. For those that don't listen (shame,shame) the top pictures are some of my older shuttles; the top one my first Lady Hoare type with an ugly yellow "string" on it...clockwise the huge plastic ones are the infamous Tatsy's great for large cords and throwing at the cats. The snippet of tatting is prob 40 years old from an older book.I gave this to my mom years ago and she still had it.!..a really nice pattern edging. And a few Susan Bates oldies!To taunt one of my fav patients, I am making a yellow and blue (Gooooo PITT) lanyard from these threads found at
The Lacemaker, Cortland Ohio He likes Penn State (gasp). The shuttles are from
David Reed Smith. The third photo is my last stash haul from The Lacemaker. Some of the threads were "bump and scratch sale...were all balls that hit the ground at one point or the other....Love the book marks in that bookmark book!The fourth pic is a sample of the designs that were previously associated with the Maus's Tatted Round Robin (doilies) site now no longer functioning
Tatted Round Robin 19. I have saved many of those pages from the early years and thank goodness printed many of them out . The can still be found on the archives
Tatting Round robins I am not sure if the site goes down this October, I don't remember seeing that warning before. Sooooo.
