I applaud your husband for spotting it! Those must be very large earrings, although it's difficult to tell in the photo. How nice of you to give her some info re supplies! <br /><br />Although I started tatting with size 50 and 30, and used to think 20 was too thick, I now love size 20 and all the colors available in Lizbeth, because I can see the knots clearly, and it works well for jewelry, giving earrings some 'heft'. It works well for pendants, too - although I usually mount the pendants onto velvet paper discs, which are then put onto or in metal backings, to give them weight. And I think larger snowflakes and Christmas ornaments look good on the tree. I admire those who use the finer threads, like 70, 80 and 100 (!) and I like knowing that I really could tat with them (as opposed to crocheting with them, where my hands cramp up), but I prefer to be less stressed these days! <br /><br />Hope you're feeling better, and glad you had a good vacation. I'm sure it's beautiful there! Also hope your weather stays decent this Fall. Ours has been perfect all summer and September, and we are getting spoiled here in Western Pennsylvania. I can't believe October is here already.

It used to be that tatting thread was assumed to be size 70 or 80, and it was intended to be dainty. Now most people seem to like the chunkier look of size 20, and some people obviously like it even bigger than that. Variety is what makes it all interesting!Mirandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07966487848401662776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-516191267853258591.post-91670433332419701872014-09-29T08:05:32.413+00:002014-09-29T08:05:32.413+00:00each to their own idea's and likes, it would b...each to their own idea's and likes, it would be boring if we all used the same crafting things lol.....bet you were pleased that Vernon spotted the shop<br />Tillytillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07497825779261034331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-516191267853258591.post-29707271619029728312014-09-28T19:35:22.092+00:002014-09-28T19:35:22.092+00:00Yes It is a language in it's self (crafting) a...Yes It is a language in it's self (crafting) and praiseworthy items speaks volumes and we all can hear and feel close.
