All my winding from the previous post (I wound ALL the HDTs I had - three thumbs up for the home-made swift!) enabled me to use some beautiful threads I'd had sitting in my box for a while.
The ones used below are both by Jess! at Tat-ilicious.
This is Punk Princess:
I like this colour even more than expected!
And this is Forest Dusk:
Now I knew I'd love this one (just my kind of colour)
and took the precaution of buying two skeins.
I always love greeny-blues or bluey-greens...
And I always particularly like her "messy" colours,
like this one, where there is a more random
but homogeneous colour blend.
The motif itself I like a lot. It's made with splint rings in the centre and tatted all in one go - well, two rounds but continuous.
Best wishes,
Frivole
That is a very pretty snowflake pattern! Thank you for sharing the link.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy working with hand-dyed threads. I'm always surprised by the way the colors look in a variety of designs, and there's something wonderful about the feel of the thread.
What a delightful pattern! Both color ways are great but that Forest Dusk is especially lovely! How would it be for a shamrock? Too blue?
ReplyDeleteI think it would work for a shamrock Michelle - any particular pattern in mind?
DeleteWonderful snowflake! Many thanks for sharing the link.
ReplyDeleteI love the threads you have used! Such a pretty pattern. I thought it looked familiar and then found out why:

Both snowflakes are beautiful!!! :)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty!! I love them both! I think that snowflake would make a lovely flower without the clovers on each point.
ReplyDelete:o)
Those are both very pretty, the pattern and the threads, and of course the tatting.
ReplyDeleteSuper
