25 motif challenge

Here are 6 more snowflakes made using Lene Bjorn's book.

Thread for these is #12 perle cotton with the exception of the last one which has spiral chains made from #30 varigated crochet cotton. All of the snowflakes will still need to be blocked and stiffened. I'll do that when all of them are finished.

25 motif challenge

Last summer I decided to tat all of the snowflakes in Lene Bjorn's 24 Snowflakes in Tatting. I got a couple done and put the project aside to work on other things. I am once again working on it and these are 4 of the snowflakes. All of these are done with #12 perle cotton and are 3" - 3.5"across.

Bookmark with woven picots

The threads for this bookmark are size 8 perle cotton. The pattern is Marrie Stoffer's. The size of this bookmark is 1.25" x 6".

This was my first venture in using woven picots and I'm pleased with the result. Ordinarily I prefer to tat without a picot gauge as I can get my picots reasonably close in size and using a gauge slows me down. For this project, however, I did use a picot gauge and I found it very helpful as these were very long picots.
