I think at least one someone will recognise this?

Train Tatting
I was travelling on Saturday. As always, I brought a bit of tatting. That's one thing I love about tatting, it's so portable! It takes so little space so that you can always have one or two shuttles and a bit of thread about your person to take out and tat a few stitches at every opportunity. Especially when travelling. No journey is too long, it you can spend the time tatting… right?

Looks interesting! Lovely colour.
ReplyDeleteVery nice work!
ReplyDeleteAh, I recognise it! It's in the 20th Anniversary edition of the Danish Tatting Association magazine...
ReplyDeleteOooh, is it?? Is that De Frivolité(k)ring? If that's the one, I only have issues 23 and 25 (because they'd ask me for a pattern for it).
DeleteSilly me! The magazine I was thinking about is Dutch, not Danish!
DeleteLovely pattern could it be one of Iris's patterns, love the colour.
ReplyDeleteI agree it's great to take tatting with you where ever, at least we never get bored on journeys only I can't tat in a car, I don't know why, I can knit or sew but I can't tat, frustrating.

Gorgeous even, beautiful work! I completely agree with you about the portability, I love tatting for that! It' se specially obvious if I've been knitting for a while. 😃
ReplyDeleteAre you knitting at the moment Michelle? But you're right. My other project being a crochet blanket at the moment… that's definitely not as portable!! :-)
DeleteI don't know that design, but it sure if beautiful so far!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteDear Frivole, congratulations with this lovely piece of tatting! so even, so pure, so you. I agree about travelling.This is, I believe, why tatting spread so fast in the USA, Canada and Australia. The settlers tatted while they travelled,..and taught each other. Brave women! Please let me re-explain European languages. FrivolitéRing means a tatted ring in Dutch/Flemish, a language spoken in The Netherlands, (Holland), Flanders and Suriname. FrivolitéKring means a gathering of tatters in the same language. Frivolité is a word borrowed from the French. This is why the K is between brackets.C'est un calembourg!
ReplyDeleteThe Danish tatters association resides in Denmark, a famous archipelago north of the Netherlands, where the Vikings lived and a tiny mermaid guards the harbour. See what I mean?
Please remember!! And pass the word around! To Fox, for example!
Yes, of course, I knew that Tally (about the different languages) - I just wasn't paying attention when I wrote my message!
DeleteEh bien sûr, le mot frivolité! D'où mon pseudonyme! ;-)
DeleteAh, Ok, So you found it in the Danish magasine. That is good, so I don't have to worry about the Dutch tatters anymore. I am not ususally worried abot the Danes. Except that they may send the Vikings back, but not tatting-wise ,I mean. Thank you,Frivole, you may have solved more worries than you know.
DeleteAnd the Danish speak Danish, not Dutch, which is Nederlands and not German (which is Deutch).
ReplyDeleteBeautiful color, beautiful tatting! I have my shuttles close at hand, but for now I'm knitting. Yarn keeps me warmer than thread. ;-)
ReplyDeleteGot to agree with you there! I'm enjoying the crochet too, draped across my legs as I work… nice, warm and cosy!
DeleteI like this color, and pattern looks beautiful too. I will check if I see the grand finale:-) Nice work.
ReplyDeletePick me!! PIck Me!!! I Know!!! LOL
ReplyDeleteExtremely honored that you have chosen to tat it Frivole. I look forward to seeing it finished. Your work always looks so amazing!
It was strange to see it written up in Danish but still a thrill.
