1 year 1 and half months after starting tatting!

It's been just over a year since I started tatting...

Here's this week's little bits

three little things using Lizbeth Scottish Thistle size 20 and a few more inches added to my length of trim.

the tatting around the key is something I made up as I went along - it ended up being entirely chains of 8ds.

The two-layered flower is from the patterns page at www.cariad-tatting.co.uk.

Last weekend I went to the Makit Fenland Lace & Textile Craft Supplier Fair 2013 in St Ives and bought 2 more small books and quite a lot of thread - mostly Valdani - and a nice little wooden picot gauge.  I also had a really nice chat about tatting with the lady on the stall with the picot gauge - but I'm useless at names so I've forgotten what she trades as :(
