I haven’t gotten much tatting done lately. It also seems that what has gotten done has had mistakes.
Take Jane’s TIAS 2016.
I was doing great until Day 6. It wasn’t that it was that difficult but I caught a thread where it shouldn’t aught to be and didn’t notice it until I was farther along.

And this is where I still am. The way things have been going lately with my tatting I’m afraid to take it out due to the chance of making it worse.
But I am looking forward to finishing it. Jane already has Day 8 out; I have a bit of catching up to do.
The doily I currently have in the round robin I’m a part of on Craftree is sitting by my chair waiting on me to finish it. I have it figured out – in my thread – but haven’t yet attempted it in the doily colors yet. I really don’t want to mess it up.
I hope I get out of my funk soon.
He looked pretty pathetic.
But amazingly his scarf, hat and flower are still attached. I used craft glue to put them on and I really thought I’d find the tatting but not everything still together. A little blocking and he’ll be as good as new.
I’m hoping a little patience and a little more care will soon get me back to as good as new, or least back to normal!

Like the snowman, soon you'll be as good as new. 🙂
Thanks! I certainly hope so!
I'm sure the resilient snowman will sweep away your funk & bring back your muse ! Best wishes always.
Thank you! Your encouraging words are making me feel better already!
It's okay, we all have it! I'm looking forward to you round of the doily, your designs are so wonderful!
Thanks! I'm looking forward to the my round of the RR in the right colors, it looks pretty cool in the white I made it.
You'll be right as rain in no time! I am "paused" in the same spot as you share in the photo. I am not in a funk. Just haven't picked it back up.
In the interest of encouraging you, why don't we try tackling it together? Are you able to FaceTime or Skype? If not, no worries, I will email you photos…mine isn't as neatly done as yours. But I really just want to know if it is a cricket or a frog or something else.
This sounds like fun! Let's see if we can connect.
I hear you! I. Sloooow in tatting anything these days…. Complete – almost – lack of interest.
Your snowman is encouraging! Very sweet. : )
This happens in January after lots and lots of intense tatting before Christmas. This is why Jane's TIAS is a good thing. It is great that the snowman survived in such good shape. I'm sure I'll get back in the swing of things soon.
