Hi,
Recently on Facebook there has been a discussion about fillet crochet and how it can be turned into tatting, This resulted in several comments and then someone remember a pattern from Mary Konior called Network from the book Tatting with Visual patterns,
Well I had tatted this pattern over 30 years ago when the book was first published, I found my piece and its the picture above tatted in coats thread no 20, back then I could only get Coats thread or DMC from the local wool shop.
If you want to read more about the recent tatting idea on this type of tatting here is a link to Mushaan who placed a post on her blog
Hope you find it interesting
Margaret
I did read muskaan's post, and I have the Mary Konior pattern. I do enjoy filet crochet, but I was not particularly drawn to the tatted version. Still, I may look at the pattern again!
ReplyDeleteOh well done, you’re well ahead of the pack!
ReplyDeleteThis is super pretty Margaret, it looks so delicate.xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work.
ReplyDeleteThanks, again, for sharing the pic, Margaret :-)) Of all the techniques, this one looks to be the easiest - simple rings and chains.
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous Margaret, very pretty - I didn't realise that you have been Tatting for so long.
