Tatted Pendant

This pendant was tatted with DMC Linen Embrodary floss.

I have been busy Tatting!

I have been busy tatting. Here are few pieces that I have made.

These first two are from the tutorial by Totusmel for her Tatted Pendant.

The tread is size 10 lizbeth.

The next is inspired by the Petal Perfect created by Krystle Dawne. The tread is DMC cotton pearl size 5 (It may be embroidery floss). I just kind of winged it with out a pattern.

And the last is one I came up with to go with the medallion I found at the craft store. The thread is the same DMC size 5.

I am very anxious to get started on my Halloween Crafts, however, I have committed to completing all my WIP's before starting anything new. I am currently working on a Starling Purse by Craft Girl. Also a Windmill Purse-I found a Knit pattern for it and am coming up with a crocheted version. Hopefully I will complete them by the end of the week. I also am involved in Sock a long through Ravelry. I have started and scrapped it about 3 times now. I really need to get going on that.

Tatted Barrette

This is my weekend accomplishment (besides a clean house), a tatted barrette. I do not remember the manufacturer of the thread. I bought it at Michael's. It said it was size 10, although it is actually much larger than that. It is almost the same size as peaches and cream cotton yarn. I do believe I will be making more of these. It was a quick project that was done while watching TV.

Needle Tatting Work

I have been feeling prosaic with my crochet for the last couple of weeks. So, because I have to be doing something all the time, I picked up needle tatting again. Here are few pieces that I tatted out.


This pendant is the first one that I designed. I tatted it in several different sizes.




Here is Quincy modeling it for me. Unlike most models this one works for food.













Key Chain



And the same design as a necklace















This is a pendant that is similar to a piece by TotusMel. I modified it some to match my tastes.














Here is another that I designed























This is Thor modeling the earrings-he is not as good of a model as Quincy!





I saw a design similar to this (done with a shuttle) in an old tatting pamphlet from 1895. I modified it a bit and all though I am happy with the way this one came out, I have not been able to duplicate it.







These earrings are ones that I made based on earrings that I saw someplace, I can not remember where, If you know who is the original creator of this, or if it is your design and would like credit please email me.






















Just a simple design















Here a couple of simple necklaces.

As my mother gets older her skin has become rather fragile. She had to stop wearing her Saints medallion because the chain would sometimes tear her skin or leave abrasions. This white necklace is one that I made to wear the medallion on. That way the soft cotton would be gentle on her skin and she would still be able to wear her medallion.
