My latest tatted thing was a little choker. Of course, I made it in red, which invokes a strong sense of French Revolution. But I think I could wear this out, to make everyone have a memento mori moment 💀

Yo, seeing your needle tatting work is so cool! It feels like a natural progression from the Celtic knots a few years ago--that, or you're picking twisty knotty needle tatting patterns (are they patterns? I dunno anything about it!)

yeah, they're patterns! tatting is just trying a bunch of half hitch knots around a core thread. and Celtic tatting absolutely exists, it's just way more difficult for me because it requires the use of shuttles. here's what a pattern looks like and some Celtic tatting:

right now I'm making window hangings to further discourage bird collisions

My first heavily beaded piece in ages! (Since probably August of last year.)

I am so in love with how it turned out. I think this is a good piece to demonstrate the versatility of tatting and lace stylistically.

I did in fact rage quit this doily because I realized the whole 5th round was wrong. but its till pretty!

The Lace Coven’s first Doily Along starts today! ✨

We’ll make a small doily from Free Vintage Crochet:

It’s an easy pattern and a great choice if you recently started tatting and are intimidated by doilies! Join us on Discord, we’ll share our progress as we go on with the doily and celebrate each other’s achievements!

you should get a second evening for reading fan fiction. And you should get an extra day in the week to do arts and crafts.

made a card for my aunt in law to thank her for giving me her grandmother's vintage lace

I finally got off my butt today and finished the doily!

And then I realized that it matches my living room area rug

Cody for scale:

I found the free pattern here. It's meant for shuttle tatting but easily adaptable for needle tatting if you're like me and hopeless with a shuttle

Another one of my shuttle tatting journey!

3D roses pattern is from Fiber Art by Jeanne's youtube channel, and the green wreath from Itoshimatsu on Instagram.

tatting protip; made the stitches too tight and the ring won't close all the way? just fucking make a join instead of closing it. no one will notice.

you can't even tell

[tenacioustatter]

If the gap isn't too big you can also just make sure you start the next chain tightly to the one before it and fudge it that way too.

No one will know unless you tell them or they're looking specifically for it.

how did I remember to bring my lace handkerchief to school but not a pen let alone a pencil

YOU ARE NOT HELPFUL RIGHT NOW
