2024 TTAL - temperature tat along part 17. Finished

 Hi,  

At last it’s finished,  I finished tatting the edging just before we went holiday in August,  it then lay on the coffee table before I washed it, blocked it and now here it is finished,  it’s been a labour of love not,  I got so fed up with it,  and with other things that needed doing plus being ill for seven months,  the edging  just dragged on and on,  I did two rows of edging,  now looking at it I think I should have made it a big bigger,  but don’t suggest I unpick it because it’s not happening, 

What will I do with it now,  well I really don’t know the size is 21 and half inches by 19 inches,  or  54 cms by 48 cms approx.  I brought some beads from Etsy with 2024 which I put in the middle,  I took weeks before deciding where to put them,  but they are in the centre,  the edging is the two blue squares in the middle. Thus adding the blues bringing them into the cloth more .  There are beads for everything we did in 2024,  including birthday, anniversary, holidays and of course Christmas  and Easter.   Will I ever do another one,  it’s not on the cards,  perhaps in years to come I just might, but I have no plans to do it again.

Have a lovely weekend

Hi,

At last I have finished all the squares,  ends sewn in and all the beads sewn on,I started it in the middle of January 2024, due to illness,  to finish the line I did a few extra days in January,  it has 360 squares,   Which is fine I am happy with my square. measures 19 x 21 inches or 48.3 cms x 53.4 cms, 

I am going to tat the year and attach it to the top,  and then do a border.

2024 TTAl - temperature tat along part 15

 Hi,

From a very snowy Somerset,  it’s very cold and it’s been minus temperatures at night for nearly a week,

At last I have finished November,  we had some very low temperatures in November,  it’s definitely been moving into colder colours as the month  of November progressed.  I have 31 more squares to do to finish the year,  to finish a line and make it more square I might have to do a few extra into January,  I will see how the 31 square pan out.

Stay safe and warm

Hi,

I’m falling behind again,  looking after hubby and the hot weather we had is taking its toll on the fibromyalgia.  

Here is mine finished July,  I am working in a square clock wise,  getting bigger it’s 15 and a half square, I have some ends to sew in,  even though we had some very hot days we still have not reached 30c I was hoping to do red,  we had to cancel our holiday which would have given me a red,  I hope we can have some more nice days before the winter.   

Temperatures as per Somerset in the West Country U.K.

Have a lovely day

2024 TTAL - temperature tat along part three

 Hi,

On this very very wet day,  I realised that I had not shown you the temperature tat along  which is on Facebook at the moment,  well it will be for the whole year,   our temperatures have been on the mild side for a few weeks now,  and my first all one colour square has arrived which was the 13th February,  

I have managed to catch up a little bit over the last week,  when I had to rest after having a procedure 8n hospital,  it’s beginning to get less sore now. Hopefully it will settle down and I will have less pain in my hip.

I will post again next week,  I don’t want to keep boring you by keep showing it too often.

Stay dry and warm,  at the moment we have a lot of flooding near us in Frome and surrounding areas, if any one wants some rain,  we would be pleased to off load it for some sunshine.

Have a good week

2024 - TTAL Temperature Tat a- long

 Hi,

Here is the next instalment of the tat along on Facebook,  last week I showed you six squares of the very cold  weather we had here in Somerset,  well it has grown a little with milder temperatures,   

This is January finished,      I am going around in a clock wise and the marker is to show me where I started around the block of six,  I have changed the way I sew in the ends,  I had a problem with the lighter colours popping though the darker colours.  Hoping when I have a good  day to sew a little darker colour over the lighter colours,  it’s not for  sale and it’s mine so it shows it’s ok. I can live with it,

I will post again next week when I have done a bit more,  I am wondering  how February will either stay the same with milder temperatures or bring in some different colours if it gets colder.

 I am in hospital today  for  a few hours, and then rest for a couple of days, so hopefully I can get more done and catch up a bit.
