I am now back from the Tatting Corner Tat Days. I had a great time and met some new friends. It was a 14 hour drive up, stopping at my brother's house overnight after the first 8 hours, then continuing to Indiana the next morning. I got there on Wednesday so I helped with some setup. I got to meet Carolyn Craig. I have some of her books and was pleased to get to meet the author. I wish I had taken them to get autographs, but then, I am not an autograph collector. She is a very nice lady. Her ability to design, especially in 3d, amazes me. It was also Kaye Judt's birthday that weekend and it was nice to be able to tell her happy birthday. No, I won't tell how old.
Now that I am back, after a 2 hour ride to see someone in Ohio, then 12 more hours home, I am working on this doily again. The 2020 Renulek Spring Napkin. Remember, I'm doing it for a friend. I just finished round 8. This round is so simple it is tricky. You chain with one picot in the middle, then the ring has several picots that I tried so hard to forget until I was almost half way around. I kept having to take out a stitch or two because of forgetting its a ring, I need picots. Submitted for your approval: Round 8. Now, who's line was that?
Thought you’d been quiet for a while, Tim!!!! It’s looking fantastic.
ReplyDeleteA lot of traveling, but it sounds as though it was well worth it!
ReplyDeleteThe doily looks fantastic! Sometimes the simplest rounds can cause me the most problems. I think I get mesmerized by the simplicity. I wish I could have attended Tat Days. I hope to attend again. I really enjoy getting together with my tatting friends. I freely admit that I had to look up "submitted for your approval." Of course when I saw that it was Rod Serling's line, I could see him and hear his voice. Thanks for the memory!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! The friend will treasure it. Glad your travels went well. It takes 14 hours for us to get one state away. I can't imagine going through how many states in that time?
ReplyDeleteA lot of travelling but I am sure you enjoyed it,
ReplyDeleteThe doily is looking beautiful
