During that time though, I did get some tatting finished.

For my cousin's birthday, I made Jane Eborall's Fandango bookmark. I really like how these colors go with each other. (Do I comment on my satisfaction with my color choices too much? That's one of the pre-tatting decisions I always fret about, especially when the finished piece is going to be a present.)
The pattern was enjoyable, and I'll probably use it again in the future.

I gave this Flowery SCMR bookmark (also by Jane Eborall) to my aunt as a thank you gift. I didn't realize it until she pointed it out, but the colors are mine and my sister's favorite colors. An amusing oversight on my part, to not realize that.
I had a lot of fun with this pattern, especially when I got to the over the top joins.

This Simple Celtic Knot bookmark by Toptattyhead was made for my sister, who likes celtic designs. This was my first real attempt at using more then two shuttles at a time, and it was fun. A bit challenging at first, but overall it was simply fun. This pattern was a good introduction into using four shuttles at a time, and I hope to use this knowledge again in the future.

Ah, the Spiral bookmark by Gina. It's one of my favorite bookmark patterns, and this time I decided to try making a tassel. For my first time making a tassel, I think it looks alright.
I made this for a friend's surprise birthday party.
Done in Lizbeth size 20, #618, #620, and #644. Motif #7 of my second challenge. |
Look, it's not a bookmark!
Nope, it is a Cupcake by Be-stitched.
I made this for another friend's birthday. Her favorite color is pink, though I don't think this is strawberry flavored.

And then we have the Tatty Turtle by Mark Myers. This was actually one of the first patterns I did when new to tatting, and it was fun to revisit it.
Turtles are really cute.
Can you share the pattern for the spiral bookmark if you still have it? The email I regularly check is crazybear127@yahoo.com
