Tatting Tea Tuesday

So...this is becoming a habit too ~ one to empty a shuttle and one for the dye pot! The little round teapot is from Martha's book too and it's the first time I tatted that one. I thought I had enough thread but it turns out it only tatted half the pot. I had to add in another thread and of a different color! I missed the half moon ring for the handle as a result and went back and tatted a chain handle instead. I'm not crazy about folded rings although it does make it possible to tat this one in one pass. It was a clever way to add the lid too. It's quite tiny, probably the size of a dime.



I'm off to bed early tonight. For real this time. I'll leave you with a photo I took last year that feels very Autumnish.

  1. The tiny one with two colours turned out really nicely. I have Martha's teapot book but I must admit I have only tatted one tiny teapot pattern. I should take it out and try more patterns.

  3. Oh, you do seem to have the dye pot on the brain...

    I am curious to see what the final resulting colours of all these little tatted motifs will be.

    Folded rings... hmmm... have I done this? Was there a folded ring in Sherry's treble clef, I wonder?
