We tatted this small simple doily in tatting guild this morning. Although it's done in three separate rounds, I just used split chains and split rings to climb out of each round.

It was tatted out of this - a Lizbeth thread that I purchased called Sea Shell. It's a nice soft feminine color. I had expected more contrast but there is really only the 2 shades involved.

I also purchased 2 other balls of Lizbeth, Carousel and Springtime which have more colors in them. One of the members was tatting hers in Springtime and I really liked the way it was working up.

I also bought 2 books on clearance there and a yard of fabric. LOL! Guess it was just my day to spend money.


Then I got home and my Shamrock Hinton shuttle had arrived! Unfortunately I don't have all my shuttles in one place anymore but from the ones that I can see, this is at least #20 of Hinton shuttles. I always think I have enough but then I get "just one more". I have favorites - the dragonflies, the butterflies, and the penguin. Then the celtic designs. And the dragons. (smile)

Do we ever have "enough"?
