I did it again (shrinked the pattern) ;) the beads are a mix of 15/0 Seed Beads and 2 mm rosequartz with size 30 Thread. I left it plain, without adding more beads yet. But I think I like it this way...

My grandmother sent me some pieces of our family tatting! The first motif was made by my great-great-grandmother in the 1920's or 30's, and the second was made by my grandmother herself. She carried this tote bag around every day for probably around 50 years! Proof of just how durable tatted lace really is!

It's more an everblue but I loved doing it after I got the twist of it. The thread is a size 30 with15/0 beads and some bigger ones I had here...

All done and I think got it down and learned that folded join from sparrow x ty so much and onto the next one!!

Just finished making this pattern and absolutely love how wonderfully it turned out. It's going to be a Christmas present for my best friend who wears more fancy outfits than I do and I just can't wait for her to see it.

Been working on the 3rd one. This has been fun being more detailed and still being so beginner friendly! With something like this does it always naturally curve? and will iron or pinning help with that? I like it curved just curious if that's just how it goes.

Did the 2nd pattern from the beginner pdf. Still very cute but hard to tell that rings are small and large. Maybe I didnt have even enough tension throughout for me to see. But onto the 3rd braclet from the beginner pdf starting now! :)

Sparrow’s Snowdrop pattern from the Pattern Club Box. Their designs are so much fun to work up!

1st time finishing a full braclet with brand new just opened thread!

Ive been practicing using this ugly brown thread that I thrifted, but its so useful to learn on! I know some basics so going through the course, that I've now finished, I wanted to each example, 1 at a time and share :)

Tmrw gonna start the 2nd one!

Ive been trying to focus on staying clean and also getting the picots close in size.
