You guys, I am so bad at tatting
I get distracted for half a second and immediately forget what stitch I was in the middle of
And looking at the knots tells me nothing
I've actually gone back to winding bobbins for my next bobbin lace project, which is scary because it needs 28 pairs which is the most I've ever worked with yet, but it's still less scary than trying to make a fucking picot ;_;

Attempt number 2!
Tatting is so hard ;_; those poor lumpy knots.
I think I overworked it? Pulled it too tight?
I don't know what I'm doing
My very first shuttle tatting loop
;_;
I've ordered different thread in the hopes it'll make it easier for me to see and whatnot
Despite how tiny it is, I'm still really pleased. I FINALLY managed to get making the knots down for more than 1 and a half stitches
Bobbining is so much easier, I completely underestimated tatting!
So, turns out I need varifocals, my eyes can't focus on small details close by. Which is... okay. Glad it's 'fixable' but I've always been short sighted so this is kinda weird to me
Also finally realised why I've been struggling with bobbining lately. I'm hoping I can pick it back up when I get my new glasses this month, but in the meanwhile I've been thinking about taking up shuttle tatting too, another form of lacework, but one that my maternal grandmother used to do
I'm not changing my blog name though, sorry tatting!
That said...
Tatters. Do you tat with a...
Needle
Shuttle
Both
I'm sticking with bobbins
I don't lace but am curious about the results
Worked on this on and off for a couple of years, since it was on my spare pillow there was no need to rush!
Free pattern by Jo Edkins (without the picos)
(Yes this is the lace I finished to get bobbins for the other project, for those who are following along with that)
This is so pretty, you're a legend for sharing the pattern, thank you so much!

It has just occurred to me...
No one talks about how it takes a lifetime to actually get to the lace making part
I don't wanna :(
I'm looking into wonders for this very issue, because half my already limited energy to bobbin goes into winding them, which isn't fun
On the other hand, I wind my bobbins like I'll get a bad grade in bobbin winding if it isn't the same thickness all the way down, none of the threads crossing, all in a little row
So I'm starting to think winding the bobbins isn't really the problem I should be concerned about (lol)
I am loving the improvements to completing the tassels on these! So satisfying
That is gorgeous
I immediately want to start a new one with a different colour edge, maybe blue.
Something supernatural about how consistent your beautiful work is!
I'm sorry, is this... Is this implying there's no DYE in that rug? All raw wool in its natural colours? She fucking bred the sheep to get the colours she wanted over the course of ten years!? Holy shit.
Edit: this has gotten a huge amount of traction (fibrearts tumblr is a, uh, tight-knit community it seems!) so I am adding this note to state that I checked Lola Cody's website and can confirm: There is no dye in her work. She uses exclusively hand-spun Churro wool sheared from her home-raised sheep flock. It's all natural colours!

110 bobbins, 300 square tallies, and over 48 hours of work (if you don't count the time I've spent on winding the bobbins and pricking the pattern).
more moss and lichen embroidery

People are *mind blowing*

Took me about a week, I think, roughly
Hang on, gotta pick up my jaw from where it dropped and rolled under the bed
This is amazing!
Mwahahahahaha!
Unstoppable!
