Pansexual Pride bracelet in the works using a pattern by Sparrow and Spite. #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA #LGBTQIA2S #2SLGBTQIA #LGBTQIA+ #PRIDE #ShuttleTatting #Tatting

Made a bracelet for my mom. This was using a pattern by Sparrow and Spite. She likes pink and purple. I’m working on a series of Pride bracelets, and am currently working on one for a fundraiser for a Maui based 2SLGBTQIA+ youth organization. #tatting #ShuttleTatting

Making progress on the shuttle tatted choker/necklace/whatchamacallit. I've always been fascinated by lace making, but the bobbin and pin method is a) impossible to do on the go and b) a sensory nightmare with the clacking of bobbins against each other 😵‍💫 i was so happy when i discovered shuttle tatting, which eliminates both issues and is actually not that hard to learn. The stitches are structured pretty much like macrame knots and the patterns/diagrams are easy to follow. Even for me, and i can't stand reading patterns 🫣 this is a free pattern i found online, originally meant to be attached as edging on a handkerchief.

Another one from my never-ending list of crafts: shuttle tatting! This is a ye olden maid kind of skill. It's tiny, finicky and not particularly forgiving. I love it 😌
This is a shuttle and ball pattern, using my favourite Aerlit shuttle with the tiny hook. Gonna continue this pattern until it's choker length and either attach it lengthways to a velvet ribbon or just use a bit of silk ribbon in the back for closure. It'll be gifted to a dear friend who likes to dress up for ren fairs etc.

A dark blue shuttle tatted TARDIS for a fundraiser giveaway winner. Design is by Anne Bruvold and Fiona T. #shuttletatting #tatting #lacemaking Lots of split ring practice on this piece. #DoctorWho

A new tatting book arrived from https://www.learnshuttletatting.com/ and I think it’s a great guide for beginners learning how to do shuttle tatting. I’ve written a review https://yarnplayertats.blogspot.com/2025/02/reviewing-book-frivolite-by-sparrow.html?m=1 #tatting #shuttletatting #howto #lacemaking #newbook

I’ll be teaching a project which has pearl tatting, self-closing mock rings and floating rings at Finger Lakes 25th Tatting Conference, April 4-6, 2025. More info at http://www.fingerlakestatting.com/2024/12/finger-lakes-tatting-2025.html #tatting #shuttletatting #fiberarts #tattingclass

Back to designing my submission for the Finger Lakes Tatting seminar, hoping to finish up the sample, photos, and written pattern this week - well ahead of the October 6 deadline. Thinking of calling the design “Burst of Joy”. 🤔 #tatting #shuttletatting #designing #fiberarts #crafting #lacemaking

Tatting partially finished, in white thread held in a hand, with unfinished tatting in blue thread in the background.

Final round in progress on my original collar design that I will submit to the Finger Lakes Tatting Seminar organizers when finished. They look at photos and written instructions and then choose which items to schedule classes for. No problem if they don’t select my design, I could still go there to sell hand dyed thread! The event is April 4-6, 2025 but deadline for class submission is Oct. 6. #tatting #shuttletatting #designing #fiberarts #lacemaking #crafts

Tatted lace in progress showing a scalloped collar design with points. 2 tatting shuttles are attached with the light blue thread used in the project.

Round 3 is going better now. I’ve adjusted the stitch count in my design. #tatting #shuttletatting #designing #lacemaking #WIPWednesday #fiberarts

Tatted lace in progress in light blue thread, forming a design with points. Tatting shuttle in pinkish red color is carrying some of the thread.

☹️ Had to cut out the start of round 3 when I realized my original stitch count wasn’t working. Will make changes and try again! Project I’m designing, hoping to teach it at the 25th Tatting Seminars at the Finger Lakes. #WIPWednesday #tatting #shuttletatting #oops #designing #fiberarts

Cut up bits of light turquoise blue tatting that didn’t work out, a byproduct of designing.

Round 2 started on my original project that I will submit to the Finger Lakes Tatting Seminar, hoping to teach there. The beads will be used in round 2 - continuous thread, if I put enough on the shuttle! 🤞☺️ #tatting #shuttletatting #designing #frivolite #lacemaking #fiberarts

The start of a piece of tatting in light turquoise blue thread displayed on a blue jeans pant leg, with a reddish pink tatting shuttle wrapped with thread and silver lined seed beads.

I was invited to submit a proposal for teaching a new, original design for a tatting class at the 25th Tatting Seminars in the Finger Lakes. Submission deadline is October 6 so I’m frantically preparing a simplified version of a crazy collar idea I’ve been tinkering with since 2022. This is only the start of round 1. 🙂 #tatting #shuttletatting #pearltatting #frivolité #designing #fiberarts

Light turquoise blue thread with silver lined seed beads with tatting shuttles attached. The beginning of a strip of tatting in the double sided chain “pearl tatting” technique.

I’m still tatting leaves. #tatting #tattinglace #shuttletatting #fiberarts #handmade #lacemaking

A purple handmade lace in tatting with bright orange beads, held on a hand outside near yellow Rudbeckia hirta (black-eyed Susan) flowers. A white tatting shuttle is also in the hand with tiny flower stickers on it, and the ball of thread.

The fact that the RNC is in my city (Milwaukee) this week is depressing, so for comfort tatting I started making leaves 🍂. The pattern is vintage and in public domain, from Priscilla Tatting Book number 5. I modified it slightly by adding an extra ring repeat in the center and putting beads in the chain picots. #tatting #shuttletatting #fiberarts #milwaukee #lacemaking #crafts

Tatted lace leaves including an unfinished leaf with beads added.

Shuttle tatting with size 3 thread is pushing it to the max for me! But loving the effect. My PDF pattern is at https://www.etsy.com/listing/1711982438/tatting-pattern-steampunk-belt-pdf #originalpattern #shuttletatting #tatting #knotwork #handmade #steampunkstyle #fiberarts

A piece of unfinished handmade lace in tatting. Thick thread in cream white color with a metal button resembling a mechanical wheel. Paper clips are temporarily holding beads in place until the lacework reaches them.

I have made a video of tatting the menorah pattern and the link to the PDF is there too. https://youtu.be/8mR94S5-GFk?si=CH5YhHyy3Hcx_Qgi #tatting #shuttletatting #lacemaking
