It Feels Good to Be Tatting Again

It's amazing what a few months away from tatting does. I've really missed it and now that I'm starting up again, I have so many new patterns to try and beautiful thread to use that I don't know where to begin.

I figured I would start with some simple motifs and increase in complexity as I get back into my comfort zone.

The first thing I chose was a needle tatted bookmark from Roger's Needletatting Proboard forum.


The instructions were fantastic and it worked up very quickly with a butterfly at one end and a clover at the opposite end.

  1. That is very pretty! Did you plan the way the colors worked out or was it luck? I like the diagonal stripe.

  3. Thank you both. That's the beauty of variegated thread. You never know exactly how it will turn out until you try it. I like the diagonal stripes too.
