It dawned upon me that I started this project more than two years ago. I can feel a sense of great relief now, knowing that it is coming almost to the end. Here is a peek at what it is all about.
They are snowflakes for my new book.This is the longest tatting project that I have worked on. The other thing that is taking much longer is a crochet project, and there is still no light at the end of the tunnel for that one. One of the reasons that it took that long may be because I wanted to come up with patterns that uses only the basic techniques of tatting. And by that, I mean only double stitches, regular rings and chains, regular joins and shuttle joins. Most of the patterns are two shuttle patterns which I would consider one of the basics of tatting.
A group of wonderful test-tatters have been working together with me on this project. Without them, I know this would have taken much longer. Thank you my testers.
