Works in progress

 
White thread ready to dye
Started in a combination of Olde Rose and Peaches 'n Onions HDT, the "Duchess" necklace from my Boutique Tatting book. (Obviously I will be disappointing a few people when I am sold out of any hand dyed threads that I show in projects...but, that is just how it is.)
 I do have more white thread prepared for the next batch, though, which will be familiar to HDT enthusiasts as Rhubarb Pie! Anyway, the other works in progress in the top photo are tatted atoms and the Five Petal pendant (shaded blue in the back, halfway done) from Up and Tat 'Em.


In Discovery World gift shop

Students first tatted projects
The tatted atoms may find their way into the Discovery World gift shop - there is already one there, along with some of my other tatted jewelry.

By the way, the first session of my tatting classes took place on Feb. 12. I'll see the students 3 more times yet. Hopefully, they are practicing this week! I am so proud of them - they completed 1 ring butterflies and flowers in the first class! I'll get them going on joins and following patterns next session.

    Beautiful. Wish that I could join your class and learn from you. I do thank you so much for your video though it has been a big help in my learning to shuttle tat.

    Thank you, Lily, I am happy to hear that you enjoy making the "Duchess" necklace.

    Thanks for the encouragement, God's Kid, it's much appreciated.

    Tattin' Kat, thanks very much for letting me know that my video was of help. I hope to make some more videos as time allows.

    Forever Beginner, thank you very much for letting me know that your order from my Etsy shop arrived safely, and that you like the "Up and Tat 'Em" book. Yes, I would like for you to put a link on your blog to mine. You have a beautiful blog! I also will add your link to my tatting blog list.
