TenaciousTatter

yeah, they're patterns! tatting is just trying a bunch of half hitch knots around a core thread. and Celtic tatting absolutely exists, it's just way more difficult for me because it requires the use of shuttles. here's what a pattern looks like and some Celtic tatting:

I did in fact rage quit this doily because I realized the whole 5th round was wrong. but its till pretty!

We’ll make a small doily from Free Vintage Crochet:

And then I realized that it matches my living room area rug

Cody for scale:

Another one of my shuttle tatting journey!

3D roses pattern is from Fiber Art by Jeanne's youtube channel, and the green wreath from Itoshimatsu on Instagram.

I shared this on my Instagram a few days ago and forgot to put it up here as well 😬

Our community of witchy lace makers recently reached 150 members and I thought it would be a great excuse for a celebration post 🎉✨

This community has grown a lot in less than a year, also and especially thanks to its members who share their works here on Tumblr and were able to reach various corners of laceblr - isn’t it cool?

I like to think about this community as a sort of international lace guild, where everyone can join from wherever they live and without having to pay for a membership.

I myself have learned a lot through this community about lace techniques different from mine: when I founded it, I barely knew what bobbin or needle lace looks like. I also learned new things about tatting, and I saw many members join the community with one specific technique in mind and end up trying other techniques and finding support in their learning journey from other lacers.

And since lace is a fiber art and nearly all fiber artists are into different fiber arts at the same time, there’s also plenty of opportunities to learn more about standard crocheting, knitting, weaving, sewing and of course, our beloved spinning! (I’m still amazed by how many lacers are also spinners like myself)

If this inspires you and you are not a Coven Lacer yet, maybe it’s time for you to join!
