I placed an order with Handy Hands and ordered two new books (birthday present!!!)...and got them in the mail Monday. Of course, I had to try out some of the new patterns! One book is called Tatting Collage by Lindsay Rogers...It is filled with great mini tats! Here are the two patterns I tried:
I made two four leaf clovers (one for my husband) and a "Tattered Heart". The heart is harder than it looks! I can't wait to get started on another pattern! All three were made of DMC size 80 tatting thread...although the green in the heart is Majestic/HH size 80... For some reason, the purple DMC untwisted a lot while working with it...I've never had it do that. The green Majestic acted better than the last time I used it...Go figure!
The other book I received was Tatting Patterns and Designs by Gun Blomqvist and Elwy Persson. I like the patterns in it, but haven't made any of them yet.
