These are a few of my favorite things

Arlene Tats and Knits

These are a few of my favorite things!! Welcome back again! These are the pictures I referred to in the podcast. For those that don't listen (shame,shame) the top pictures are some of my older shuttles; the top one my first Lady Hoare type with an ugly yellow "string" on it...clockwise the huge plastic ones are the infamous Tatsy's great for large cords and throwing at the cats. The snippet of tatting is prob 40 years old from an older book.I gave this to my mom years ago and she still had it.!..a really nice pattern edging. And a few Susan Bates oldies! To taunt one of my fav patients, I am making a yellow and blue (Gooooo PITT) lanyard from these threads found at The Lacemaker, Cortland Ohio He likes Penn State (gasp). The shuttles are from David Reed Smith. The third photo is my last stash haul from The Lacemaker. Some of the threads were "bump and scratch sale...were all balls that hit the ground at one point or the other....Love the book marks in that bookmark book! The fourth pic is a sample of the designs that were previously associated with the Maus's Tatted Round Robin (doilies) site now no longer functioning Tatted Round Robin 19. I have saved many of those pages from the early years and thank goodness printed many of them out . The can still be found on the archives Tatting Round robins I am not sure if the site goes down this October, I don't remember seeing that warning before. Sooooo. Many of out most well known tatters and designers participated through the years for our collective benefit. Sites for purchasing tatting goodies...don't be mad if your site is not listed..let me know and I will list it. Others are already listed on the right of page. Lacis Snowgoose On the knitting front. I am happy this darn sweater is coming along as well as it is! Boy that took a long time to do correctly. Fortunately, I am stubborn as well as beautiful and persevered! I could not be happier with it now. Also on the knitting from new needles from KnitPicks and DYAK. Love the Rosewood Darn Pretty needles in a 6inch DPN for the sweater Nicole from Ewe & I Originals. It is a baby sweater for no one special. I intended to knit for new Grandbaby Myah...now almost three...ah well, the thought counts, right? Enough for today...Off to up-load this weeks episode! Until later...knit and tat happy!
