I have been sent this photo of a piece of lace and asked to Identify the type. I am not good at Identification - beyond the very obvious! It is obviously in the style of the Raised Venetian Gros…Continue

It is very sad that the Guild of Needlelaces is closing down. Oh Dear! another handcraft that is lacking support. All this Political Correctness is going too far - apparently they don't teach…Continue

I'm back home now..

Just realized why this list has seemed so quiet -- I turned off the emails while I was away on holiday, and forgot to turn them back on when I came home!! Grrr! Old age is galloping, it seems!!…Continue

"Sorry for the delay in answering you, Anita. The 2 colours were the ones used in the book by Hye-OOn Lee - the Doilies for Fall & winter. It is the last pattern in the book (I think) and is shown very small, on the outside of the…"

"I am tatting a very interesting pattern - it is in the Fall/Winter Doilies book by Hye Oon Lee, - and, of course, I am working the Last pattern in the book! It has a white centre part, then a broad band of 2 coloured work - which is worked out and…"

Elizabeth Ligeti replied to Jo Edkins's discussion How would this pattern be worked? in the group Bobbinlace Beginners

"A tally or a plait would transfer the 2 pairs to the other trail, whereas a cucumber or a kiss stitch keeps the pairs in the 2 trails. Use which ever you want - it is Your lace, and it depends how you like the trails to be…"

"I did not see any cucumber tallies in those 3 pieces, either. Jo, - work them like a square tally - but shorter - and wider!"

Elizabeth Ligeti replied to Jo Edkins's discussion How would this pattern be worked? in the group Bobbinlace Beginners

"Jo, Cucumber tallies are usually wider than they are long, as they are made using one pair from each trail, and then the tally fills the gap between the trails. If you look here http://laceioli.ning.com/photo/small-mat?context=user -- one…"

Elizabeth Ligeti replied to Jo Edkins's discussion How would this pattern be worked? in the group Bobbinlace Beginners

"Yes, I agree with Lorelei, - Beds pattern, but without the usual markings. They used plaits (legs) or tatties to jump between trails, usually , and legs to hold the footside onto a trail. They sometimes put square tallies instead of the…"

Regarding Jon Yusoff's books. Yes, she does have more. I have completed one of her books already and now working on doing the second one now.

Success!, the pattern is available.

Go online to: Antique Pattern Library, select: Tatting, scroll down to: Platt, Mrs. C. B., Tatted Slippers for Baby. The pattern is two PDF files. The slippers (booties) are also pictured at the left of the entry.

At 10:59am on January 8, 2016, Millie Irwig said…: Elizabeth,

I believe I have the same tatted booties pattern referenced in Anita Barry's reply. The pattern is credited to Mrs. C. B. Platt. I downloaded a pattern copy 10 years ago and needle-tatted my sample with DMC size 30 thread. It would fit a baby's foot of about 3 inches long.

I have not yet looked at tatting listings in the Antique Pattern Library but hopefully the pattern is still available there.

At 8:46am on June 22, 2015, Barbara Gordon said…: The book I was asking about is this one: 'New Patterns by Tomoko Morimoto'. I tried doing a search for it, but so many came up but the titles weren't the same. I already have at least one of her book, but I'm curious about that technique that Elizabeth has mentioned..

I also put this on the tatting page...!

At 1:28pm on June 21, 2015, Barbara Gordon said…: Elizabeth....I tried searching for that book you had mentioned, but none came up with that title. Any chance you can put a picture of the book in here some where? You know how those searches go..! "

At 2:00pm on January 22, 2015, Paula Harten said…: Hi Liz. Funny, I was just commenting to my husband that I learned tatting when I was very young and never even learned split rings. I am also considering getting more up-to date, since I can do it. There is just not enough time for everything. I love Patty's hyperbolic pieces.

Welcome. You already know the software, and the guidelines are the same as for NEEDLELACETALK. Except that all hand made laces are included.
