A test piece

Jon, Tat-a-Renda at http://tatsaway.blogspot.com/ has a post I found really inspiring. She wrote the National Library of Australia (NLA) expressing her intention to rewrite the tatting patterns published in newspapers in the Australia from the early 1930's.  Please, take a look at her process. What a wonderful way to make 'old patterns' more tatter friendly! Thanks Jon!

 Well, I had just a bit of thread on a shuttle and wanted to 'try' the first round. Instead of the 8 rings it needs, I worked with the thread I had...and my test piece came out nicely. Kinda cute...lol
So, now I am off to make the first round, with all the rings!!! lol
Stay turn for more of my progress.
