I am so envious of the tatting prowess shown on this blog: Umi and Tsuru. I once learned to tat long ago, but I never got very proficient. So I wondered if I could substitute some crocheted motifs instead to get a somewhat similar effect. Of course I hadn't crocheted in years either, but I rummaged through my stash archives and found a pretty ball of variegated pink knit-cro-sheen thread and a size 7 hook. Then I cruised the web and found some patterns.
I'm a little rusty, but this is what I came up with and maybe I'll try to incorporate these in an upcoming comfort doll finish:
Looks great Annie!
ReplyDeleteI bought the smaller crochet hook with the intent to maybe be able to crochet little dodads to go with my stitching toys. Or just make nnice hangers for them ;)
