What are you working on now?

[Rebecca Sue]

Recently finished tatting 165 bookmarks for the women at church for Mother's Day. I had enough made that many were able to take their mothers/daughters/grandmothers and various other female relatives and friends a bookmark.

Now I am working on a special order of additional bookmarks as well as getting my Christmas tatting started. Snowflakes, Crosses, Angels, Stockings, Trees, and Candles for gifts, cards, and Ornaments.

Did you teach yourself to tat? I have a shuttle, etc but have heard needles are easier. Any thoughts? Tatting is so feminine and delicate, I love it.

I am learning a new knitting pattern. I love working with wool or bamboo silk combinations. We have so many wonderful yarns and fibers available now, its a real blessing!

What's tat? I've never heard of it before

 

[Rebecca Sue]

Tatting is making lace with a shuttle or needle. It is beautiful. If I knew how to import pictures here I would, sorry. Lots on pinterest. What do you enjoy doing FatherHaveMercy?
Any hobbies?

Oh I am trying to crochet some woven squares together and it is not very attractive. I wish I could learn. I spin and am a beginning knitter and weaver. I would love to crochet granny squares or flowers. I love them!

Wow you spin? The only thing I can do is knitt a dish cloth and crotchet lol

 

[Rebecca Sue]

Yea, spinning is a pure pleasure, you should try it. It is meditative, therapy for me really.
I am doing dishcloths too. If you are able, post some pics of what youve made. We have a group for crochet and knitaholics or something like that. Im going to get someone to show me how to post pics and will put some up.

I bet that looks so pretty

I am really into doing latch hook rugs and am working on an angel fish pattern one right now.

That sounds pretty - could you post a picture? I would love to be able to do latch hook rugs - my mother and my sister did it quite a lot, but I didn't quite get the hang of it. My mother taught my grandfather and he was able to make a small mat for me. My grandmother was not in the least bit interested.

Almost finished another baby blanket. After that I must finished some outstanding projects

 

[NIrelandGillian]

I am handspinning a wool silk blend and working on some basic knitting skills. Its been awhile. The internet is such a help with tutorials. What a blessing. Im going to try the Old Shale basic lace pattern tomorrow. Out of work right now so trying to preserve my sanity. lol

How did the spinning and the Old Shale turn out? I knit a lace Scarf in Old Shale a few years ago. I love the pattern. I did it in mohair.
