That’s me doing a book signing at the Finger Lakes Tatting Conference in Burdett, NY. Feeling like a celebrity, sort of! #tatting #tattingclass #crafts #lacemaking

That’s me signing one of my tatting pattern books for a customer. Some of my colorful hand dyed thread is also on the table. Some people at the event are partially showing at tables in the background. I’m wearing a brightly colored tatted lace flower in my hair.

Heh. Just back from lace retreat. As librarian, my job is to haul the books. I was laughing at having 500 years of lace history in my trunk on the #EV board.

Someone described this as "tetris level" packing. I guess it is.

Lacemakers have transferable skills.

My blue gray Subaru Solterra getting its first Level 3 charge at an EV charger in Rhode Island. My trunk is open and shows a bunch of plastic bins full of books and a few stray books that are too big for the boxes around.

Sky is blue, trees are still bare in late March. It is an Electrify America charging station and my car is hooked to the charger.

Our lace library consists of about 500-600 lace books. Some are just pamphlets or small books, they aren't all big hardcovers. But here is the full set of books in plastic bins across the large stage at our retreat location. Most bins are stacked double because there's not enough room on the stage to have them all out. Some of the bigger bins are too heavy for that and are just single height.

These were all in the back of my car.

First day warm enough for tatting outside. #tatting

Tatting in progress held on a lap, with light purple thread and tiny gold beads. Dry grass showing in the background indicates the time of year is early spring.

Oh, beautiful! 8- )

I see some similarities to a #Tatting pattern, with the snow patches as "rings", the branches as "chains" and the leaves as *wildly* different "picots".

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

Photo of the cover of a new book by Sparrow Kelley. The cover shows a person holding a tatting shuttle and some tatted lace in progress.

Lace-related rumor: CBS Sunday Morning program in the US will have a #Lace segment on this weekend (barring any breaking news disruptions).

#BobbinLace #NeedleLace #Tatting #IpswichLace #TextileHistory

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/this-week-on-sunday-morning-february-9-2025/

Screenshot of the segment of the "this week" story list that shows a lace doily and a lace collar, and the entry says:

ARTS: Weaving a fascination for lace
A delicate jewel among textiles, lace is an elegant and deceptively simple creation whose appeal has been spun for centuries. Correspondent Lee Cowan teases the threads of the misunderstood history of lace, and talks with some of the hundreds of lacemakers who shared their craft at the annual convention of the International Organization of Lace, Inc.

"Not to be confused with Tattooing" is how the Wikipedia article on tatting begins, and now my mind is busy imagining What If.

I should add the free pattern for this #tatting project. It started out as snowflakes, but my thread said we were only doing 4 repeats instead of 6, but I liked them this way anyway.

Also realized I forgot to alt-text them before. They are a square shape set of 3 ring motifs in each of the 4 corners of a square shape, with some bugle beads and seed beads in the center. They hang from one corner.

Free pattern, beginner friendly:
