Danish tatting day

The next saturday there was the danish Tatting Day, with a tatting workshop. You see how they are all concentrated and busy working.
I taught a piece from my last tatting book, called Rita.
In a big room downstairs there was a little exhibition of all the works of the members, and there were also sellers of thread and shuttles.


There I bought some balls of variegated Lisbeth thread size 20.
With this thread I worked the piece of the workshop, which you see here on the right.
Do you see the surprice? This piece Rita has split rings in the middle, and..., look at them, they are all in one color. And the stripes of the squares are all in different colors. After every split ring i have changed the shuttles with a simple knot (to chainge the colors, when I work with 2 different colors), and, 2nd surprise, the color did not change, all green on one side, all lila on the other.

Tatting course in Denmark

I have been invited by the danish tatting group to teach a tatting class. Inga Madsen, the chairman of the group, hosted me at her home with her usual warm and caring hospitality. Inga had organized all the things for the tatting class and the workshop, which was hold a week later at their general tatting meeting. At the class, which you can see at the picture above, we are working at a doily, and you see also that tatting ladies like the colour purple for dressing. The doily we made, is a doily I designed for the Palmetto tatters day in 2007, when the theme was Flowergarden. It is a doily with a lot of techniques in, a type of techniques exercising doily. Lene Bjorn worked the whole doily twice, once in two colours and once in 4 colours, as you can see here under.
Inga and I have also worked toghether at the last things for the book we are prepairing together and which is now at a good point. We are both very satisfied about the result.
I will show you further pictures the next days!
