Jane Eborall posted Day 8 of her 2012 TIAS today. I’m thinking it’s looking like a goat, though with Jane you never know until the end! Saturday when day 7 came up I had no guesses – until I was over on Miranda’s blog and saw her day 7. Looking at hers it suddenly looked like a goat, or at least the back end of one.

Then with Day 8 I’m seeing horns!
I’ve gotten a little bit of tatting done recently, some I’m not quite ready to share, but here are the ones that I’m ready to.
I made this cute little bell from a free pattern that yarnplayer has available. It really isn’t hard and turns out very nice. Mine bowed just a little from the size of my picots I think, but it’s a bell, and hanging on a Christmas tree it wouldn’t be out of place and not nearly as noticeable as it is laying flat.
I was given “Tatted Snowflakes Collection” by Jon Yusoff for Christmas. I just recently took the time to make one. I first spent some time looking through the patterns, enjoying Jon’s lovely work. The one I decided to try first was ‘The Twirly’, #14. I did make a mistake on one chain, adding one extra repeat of picot and doublestitches – oops. Much as I like this colorway, I don’t think that Lizbeth “Caribbean” does this pattern justice. Blogger has done a twisty on the picture – originally the words were on the bottom!
Today for Tatting Tea Tuesday I enjoyed a cup of Teavana tea, ‘Weight to Go & Sakura Allure’. I was fortunate to have Tabatha gift me a sampling of several teas recently. A couple of days ago I had ‘My Morning Mate’. Both have been very good. I have several more to try – yum!
“Don’t approach a goat from the front, a horse from the back, or a fool from any side.”
Yiddish proverb
Your bell is so nice in that color!!! And the twirly is neat looking! 🙂
I love your neat bell,
Goat, yep I thought of that one too, you just bet me to it.
