Further instructions for the prefered necklace

Dear tatting friends, I got aware, that I need to give you some more instructions for the "prefered necklace". Use thread in two different colors size 20 (the wonderful Lizbeth thread size 20 is a bit too thin, perhaps if there is 15, that would be better) Use seed beads in 2 colors, size 11 or 10 (your choice) The big beads are 6mm beads The detail you see on the bottom is natural size. Before you start, load the seed beads for the SCMR on the thread of the color that self closing ring will be: load not all the beads, about 30, because you will to have to load a second shuttle, so taking along too much beads is not necessary. Be aware that the first row of the second square is in the wrong direction (look at the detail), this is normal. On the squares make little picots for joining, but if it happens that there is no picot, you pull out a bit of thread to join. I wish you to enjoy it!

The prefered necklace

My dear tatting friends, I'm now in a new home, all my things are stuffed well, a new life can start. So I'm in a very good mood and want you to partecipate, gifting you with a the free pattern of one of my favorite patterns: the prefered necklace! This necklace lays so perfectly under the neck, it has the right weight to lay flat, and ... it is really easy to make.

This is the necklace with matching earrings, which was displayed in the exposition room at Palmetto Tat Days 2007.

The olive necklace

This is one of my new designs. It was so difficult to find matching colors of beads for this olive green thread. The olive green is such a dominant color, that the most other colors simply die on ot. I tried orange, lila, red and silver, which could go, black and gold, but this combination seemed the best to me.

The unexpected design

Dear tatting friends,
playing with thread and beads I obtained this unexpected design. I asked my daughter if she liked it, and she said: Oh, I want to wear this. So I decided that the design was good. Here it is , it will be in my new book, which is progressing slowly.

The Square necklace

Hello tattingfriends,
In the moment I'm busy working at my yewellery designs. Here is another one of them ready for the book. I have to hurry up, because in November I will have to babysit some of my grandchildren, Brenno of 8 months and Nadjia of 2 and a half year. So I will have a lot to do and time for my book will be only the night. How would I like to be able to live without sleeping, I could do the double of things.
