Motif #7

Decided to do yet another one from Mary Konior's book "Tatting with Visual Patterns'.  It's the same color as another one that I did, but honestly, the pattern is different, but it kind of does looks the same.  Again I used Lizbeth size 20.  I know it looks easy, but I started it last night and after I got half way though I noticed that I had done six on both the outside and inside....but!  It was on five on the inside....good thing it was rings!  It didn't take me to long to correct it.  I'll pay more attention next time however..!

Motif #6

Another pattern from 'Celtic Tatting knots & Patterns' by Rozella Linden.  This one is a bit larger and I really like the finished look of it.  I did it with Lizbeth threads size 20 in #684 Leaf Green Med., and 131 Vineyard Harvest.                                                                                                                                                            
Celtic Flower

 

Motif #5

Small Celtic Knot Flowers done from the book called 'Celtic Tatting Knots & Patterns By Rozella F Linden'.  I just love all of the things in this book.  I thought I would do something small again, so I would be ahead more and then tackle a larger project.  It is small, but definitely tricky...!

The one on the left I goofed on the twist in the vines and leaves, so I had to do it over.  I could have taken it apart, but I had already cut off the shuttles.  
I used a HDT for the first flower called 'Nectarine' from Yarnplayer and the second flower was Lizbeth #131 called Vineyard Harvest.  Both size 20.  The green is also Lizbeth #684, Leaf Green - Med.


Let me tell you it was a trick getting the flower together and the first flower had to be re-done.   I have now figured out a way to do it better and a little bit easier....!

Motif #4

Here is another pattern from Mary Konior's 'Tatting with Visual Patterns' book.  I used Lizbeth size 20 thread in purple.  Tricky little thing and it might not be perfect.   Replaced picture for the second time.  Today was sunny..!

Motif #3...

I woke up this morning and was in the mood to look through some of my tatting books.  I spotted this Shamrock in 'Transitions in Tatting From Flat to Floral" by Sharon Briggs.  This one was pretty easy to do, but today being the day, I decided to post it.

Motif #2

I just had to get this done for today because St Patrick's day is tomorrow...! 
I tatted this using Lizbeth size 20 in colors 152 and 638.

In case anyone else had made these, I want you to notice that they are both a little different.  According to the printed directions, the one on the bottom was done according to that.

However, when I looked at the picture of it up close, it was different.  I tried looking around for differences on the net, but I couldn't find any.  The upper one has picots connecting the chains between each one.  I myself think I like the bottom one better.  It's the shaping I think....

If anyone else knows the answer to difference, please let me know....

Motif #1

This is #1 of my second challenge.  This is called 'Posy' and it is from "Tatting with Visual Patterns" from my one book by Mary Konior.  I made this with Lizbeth thread size 20 #670, Victorian Red.  

The one on the left was the first one, but I had a terrible time connecting the picots, so I did it again after more practice.  Not one twisted picot in this one.  I have a shirt that I would like to attach it to, so now I have to figure out the best way to stitch it on.  Any suggestions?  Gladly appreciated.... PS  I have a second book by Konior that I got on eBay coming.  Can't wait!
