My mother-in-law really likes hankies and always has one in her handbag or her pocket. It's been too long since I made her a new hanky so as her birthday is coming up, out came my shuttles to tat an edging. I was going to go for something more complex but in the end the shape of this simple design appealed to me - it's from Ann Orr's Tatting Book No. 35 revised. I am tatting it straight onto the handkerchief, attaching it as I go.
Happy New Year everyone, I do hope you had a wonderful holiday with family and friends and that 2023 is off to a good start!
I want to start my blogging new year with an apology: over the last few years I've regularly had people contact me to say they were not able to access my free patterns. I couldn't figure out what the problem was so I sent patterns to people who emailed me directly but... I had not visited the gmail account linked to this blog for some time and have just found many many emails from readers asking for access to patterns and I didn't know they were there and I didn't answer them!
So MANY apologies to all the people who contacted me via the google docs system to ask for access to patterns and I unwittingly ignored you! I have now re-uploaded all the links on my patterns page and I'd be grateful if people could test links and tell me if they now work.
