Beginner's Knitting Class

Lady Lace Gets a Makeover

In case you haven't noticed, I gave the blog a makeover to go with my all new logo. Lady Lace School of Crafts is now open, with new classes to start soon. More than just tatting will be offered, and I wanted the blog to reflect that.

Stay tuned for updates about classes coming very soon!

Something Old, Something New

Here's a few things I tatted awhile back.

This one is the first row of the Midnight Violets pattern, that was published in the AntiCraft, only done in the round. The only changes I made were to where I joined.

The thread is an HDT from Marilee Rockley, aka Yarnplayer. I believe this batch was called Summer Trail. Isn't it gorgeous?!

This is a new pattern that I have yet to write up. I intend to also work it out to be a five point star. I did this one as a Star of David for my bonus-sister, as per her request.

Hello, blog; we meet again...

Yes, I know it's been months since I posted something. Sorry, sorry. Life got kinda busy... it does that around here.

But. We moved! Into a house! Yay space! We have two bedrooms, two lovely porches, a room just for games (and classes!), and (get this) my very own craft room! Of course, in the frantic jumble of moving things got tossed around, lost, found, lost again, and generally thrown into chaos. So, in short, I have no idea where my shuttles are. Oops.

In the meantime, here's a little something to distract. Also my second reason for chaos.

Tatting On the AntiCraft!

For those of you who haven't checked out The AntiCraft yet, you really should. It's a online 'zine that caters to more alternative crafts. If there's any place online you'll be able to find me it's the forums there.

Anyways this issue is the first ever to include tatting, a pattern written by yours truly. The pattern is called Midnight Violets. It's a beginners edging pattern, but don't let that stop you if you're a more experienced tatter. There's a lot to be done with it. I look forward to seeing what other people can do with it! Have fun!

And the winner is....

The winner of the give away is Steph's (tat) Stuff! Congratulations! Please email me your address at LadyLaceTatting@gmail.com, and I will get your winnings in the mail to you shortly.

Thank you to everyone else who entered, and hopefully I can do something like this again. :)

Happy [belated] International Tatting Day!

So I totally intended to post this yesterday, but life got a little bit busy. Oh well.

So yesterday was International Tatting Day! Not like we need a special day to tat, but any excuse to celebrate, right? So, I'm having my first ever blog give-away!

Just leave a comment on this post to put your name into the hat. I'll randomly select the winner tomorrow night. The winner will get everything pictured here: some glass beads, a ball of Valdani pearl cotton in olive greens, some beaded flowers for springtime, and a tatted amulet bag.

Good luck to everyone!
