I needed a bookmark for a friend and I needed to tat. LOL! I'm not one to tat big doilies but I do admire them enough to look at them. I made this bookmark from a segment of Jan Stawasz' doily on page 27 of Tatting Theory & Patterns. It's tatted from size 20 thread - I think Manuela- I'm getting to the end of ball and the label is long gone.

It made an interesting shape and is actually two separate pieces. I thought I could bridge from one to the other but I didn't plan very well. I ended with a chain instead of a ring and certainly not the ring I needed to split out of. Sometimes Jan's designs feel too dense for me but I like this one.

It's a busy weekend but I'll be tatting in the evenings, I think. I'll be at my grandkids' at night and tatting is an easy thing to take.

Tomorrow my lace guild is going to Purdue to see the "Berry" collection of lace. I wasn't sure I could go but it looks like I will now. I'll try to remember my camera!
