So proof that I’ve been doing other things. I’ve finished this:

It is the pattern Elegance from the book Tatting Patterns by Lyn Morton, I used Lizbeth size 20 thread in Country Side.

I liked it, tough enough to reteach myself how to tat, and complex enough to keep me entertained. Of course it has now bitten me in looking for new things to tat that I should try designing some things, but we’ll see. I do have a big summer all stretched out for me with nothing other to do than job hunting. However considering that it’s now 2 am I shoudl really go for the night. Until next time…

First, the reason I’d like to blame my lack of knitting on:

Yeah I figured you wouldn’t believe me. But I think this means she approves of the yarn and it knitted up. (Pics of what I’m doing with that yarn later sans Belle sleeping on it.)

So, I tried something new. I’m tatting now. It’s rather easy, just lots and lots of knots with thread. And a free pattern by Nancy Tracy. She sends out a free pattern every month and I thought they were cute so I tried it out.

I’ll be back with more knitting in a bit!
