The next HDT in my "Orchid" series - this variety reminds me of the elegant corsages seen only on very special occasions. I think this is one of my personal favorites.
2 skeins of my HDT in "Lavender Orchid" size 30
A set of 5 solids in size 30 to match the multicolored skeins of "Lavender Orchid"
And, a beautiful white necklace, hand tatted by me, in my original design "Bedazzled Butterfly".
You have until February 11 at 6 p.m. central time to leave a comment on this post in order to have a chance to win this giveaway. You need to either have an active blog or some way for me to contact you if you win - so that I can later communicate via email to get your mailing address. The winner will be chosen from a hat by one of my very impartial (and totally uninterested) sons. Winner will be announced on February 12.
Deep intense pink, shading to light lavender. Colors inspired by the orchid in the photo to the left. The tatted leaf bookmark is a design I just made up as I went along, while playing with the new thread.
The knitted slippers are done! Because I used a multicolored yarn (see TattingChic's post for an explanation of the difference between variegated and multicolored) they don't quite match, but I think they go together, and I'm happy with them. The soles are sheepskin, so they won't wear out quickly the way socks do. I bought the soles ready-made at a local yarn shop.
I call this design "Double Orbit" because the round red beads (Swarovski crystal pearls) resemble 2 tiny planets in a close orbit - sort of. Tatted in my own HDT "Rhubarb Pie", size 20. I think folks may want this pattern, so I'll work on getting it written up someday. Maybe some 
variations will come to me as time goes by.
floss as well - there have been quite a few embroiderers visiting my shop!
These are muted soft greens, that would add interest to lace foliage in flower motifs. This batch is much less bright than some of my previous greens, and has almost an "old tapestry" feel.
