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 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.
