I tatted during December but have been so busy, mostly with family, I haven’t posted much. I did discover Lizbeth Metallic thread and have been trying it out. I’ve seen other tatters have used it and finally decided to try it myself. Handy Hands are raising their prices a bit so I bought thread before the new year started.
This is an old snowflake pattern of mine that I tried it out on. It tats so much better than other metallic threads I’ve tried! This is silver #311 and Turquoise Green #321. I love how it turned out, even if it has seven arms instead of six so not quite a snowflake.
I tried the same Turquoise Green as an angel. This is my pattern which I modified slightly. This came out beautifully!
I bought several balls of the metallic threads in various colors. The silver and turquoise threads are the only ones I’ve tatted with yet, but I look forward to tatting in the others as well.
I have not yet had time to write out the tree patterns that I posted about a couple of weeks ago. Look for them sometime this year, hopefully in the somewhat near future.
It is not enough to be busy. So are the ants. The question is: What are we busy about? Henry David Thoreau

I like your use of two colors on the snowflake. How do you like the thread? The white is the only one I don’t care for.
Firstly, how did you capture the sparkle in your photo? Secondly, WOW, that silver turquoise combination is stunnin and third, which pattern? I’m in love!
Really good photos that show off the metallic thread well. (making second attempt to comment)
Thank you, Jane. I have been having a bit of trouble as well. I’m looking into it. Thanks for letting me know (again)
I love your snowflake in the two colours, I have some metallic thread but have not tried yet.
I’ve gone through your posted patterns and can’t find this one, can you help? Pretty please?
I haven’t posted the pattern on my patterns page due to too much traffic. But I will give out to those who ask 🙂
I absolutely love your snowflake!!!!!! 🙂
And that is a pretty angel!! 🙂
I love your snowflake and would love your pattern. Also, I am on a quest for a good angel pattern to make angel ornaments for my grands.
