#tatting lace

Completed shuttle tatted yellow ribbon in size 10 cotton with gold glass beads.

It’s for my Bubbe’s synagogue to remind everyone of the hostages that have been held in Gaza for over 14 months. I’d encourage everyone to do something-whatever that looks like for you- to help your synagogue be better advocates for the hostages too.

If you’re not sure where to start I have printable informational flyers you can print yourself and put in your synagogue here-

I made some earrings and a bracelet back in may. It was a lot of fun!

Do you want to see the evolution of my lacemaking skills?

No?

Too bad, because

From the first lesson to the most recent one.

Yes, this weird abstract mess

Is much more complex skill (or like, an effort) than the first one. It's awful but I like it anyways.

Also I've just finished this little guy

My crochet lace still looks much better (even unblocked as in the photo) but also crochet is not only much easier than tatting but I have also much more experience in it

Blocking some of the doilies I've crocheted and tatted out of colored thread through the last couple years. The large tatted doily is Renulek's spring doily 2022, the long narrow pink and yellow one is Tatting By The Bay's onion ring magic square. Many of the crochet patterns are ones designers have posted for free on their instagram, but some are also "pirated" from instagram as well. Made with both vintage and modern threads.

Two shuttle pattern but I only have one metal one so I keep switching bobbins.

Green knots around the yellow thread for a "stem", a green ring with a picot for a leaf, three yellow rings (can do more) for flower petals.

Throwback to these bookmarks I made a few years back - not only are they some of my favorite tatting I’ve done, these were also some of my favorite staged pictures I’ve ever taken for a crafting project! I can also do this lace pattern as a choker, which is what the last picture shows. 

(I don’t have these listed on Etsy anymore, but if you want one, just message me - I’d be happy to make them again and set up the listing.)

The pattern for these is from Robin Perfetti’s bookmarks collection, but unfortunately her Etsy shop has not been up for a few years, so the collection is currently unavailable. You can still find her free patterns on her blog: http://tattingbythebay.blogspot.com/.

Made a lil bookmark! Can never have enough bookmarks.

(ID: two pictures of a red lace bookmark with tassel tail. One picture has it laying on a book and the other is a blank brown background.)

Tatting is such an underrated hobby; I can make as many things as I want and I still go through $0.25 of materials.

Every other fiber/textile related hobby is so expensive.

FIBER ARTISTS, I want to know what yall do the most so let’s do a demographic poll

I know we are all victims of the fiber art rabbit hole and nearly all of us dabble in more than one craft, so please vote for your MAIN one, the one you do the most, the one you can do with your eyes closed, and maybe share in the tag what else you do! I hope I covered most of the crafts.

REBLOG for sample size!

EDIT: I apologize to everyone who is annoyed that their specialty is not there, there were 12 spots and I tried to group some crafts as I could. Especially for everyone who feels offended by the absence of QUILTING: it was my intention to cover it with “sewing” and the “/ clothes making” was more thought as a “or” rather than as “sewing meaning clothes making but not quilting”. I’m sorry for my poor choice of words there, unfortunately I cannot edit the poll.

Tatting with size 40 rayon embroidery thread. This is the thinnest thread I'm really comfortable tatting with.

hi there 💕

[tenacioustatter]

I haven't posted any of my own work here recently because I'm in the middle of a million things without finishing any of them. But! I had a long weekend and ended up hyperfocusing and finishing this in 3 days!

It's definitely the largest wearable piece I've ever worked on. The pattern is called snowdrop, which i got from Sparrow Spite's patreon this month.

Bit of a project cleanup day - these bookmarks and coaster were all finished except for having their thread tails secured. Now they're all neat and ready to use!
