Blue Lagoon Spinning Wheel

Yup! it had to be done!!

The ever popular Spinning wheel Glass mat By Mary Konior was crying out for me to tat it in Blue lagoon and it didn't disappoint me. It's a very easy (as long as you concentrate)pattern. Very easy to make a mistake too and I have made them all!!

This one was tatted in size 60 which I am beginning to love. My stash of 60 comprises entirely of my HDT so I do need to make more solids to give me a choice.



Tatted in 60 it's tiny! measures only 3 1/2 inches compared to almost 5 inches in size 20, it would be minute in 80, but I can understand why people like 80. Tatting in finer threads really does look much more intricate and lacy. I am beginning to feel that tatting with 20 is like tatting with string and 10 is positively like rope!

  2. OK, I couldn't resist any longer and had to buy some!! The colors remind me of summer - maybe if I tat something with it summer will arrive sooner here in New Hampshire!
