Some tatted bookmarks

[chessie]

I have been on a tatting frenzy lately.I used Lizbeth size 20 thread for these..so many pretty colors in this thread that I have a hard time choosing which color to use next

[dorothysgirls]

I love them!!! I have tried to tat several time and just can't seem to get it!

[Krakovianka]

Those are so pretty--I think tatting is beautiful, and I learned to do it, but it's such slow work compared to crochet--I admire your patience, and your bookmarks are awesome!

Stunning!

[Monique39]

They are all so pretty!

[kittyloverdeb]

Those are just amazing! Wish I could do something like that but I certainly don't have the patience for tatting.

[Peggy85225]

Lovely.

[grannyannie]

Very pretty!

[Startigerlily]

Those are all wonderful!

So pretty! I love the hearts! I'm trying to learn to tat, using shuttles, and following the ASN book/dvd set. I cannot seem to keep my stitches from twisting, especially when I start picots. (and I've only gotten to decorative picots...part way through lesson 2!)...any advice, or websites I should go to?

Karen, I agree, tatting is slower than crochet, and I can't imagine doing some of those vintage tatted designs, such as those in workbasket magazines, even a baby bonnet...(Of course, this is assuming I come close to mastering this, and getting my stitches to stay flat. )

They are beautiful! A dear lady gave me her mom's tatting tools and I bought a tatting book. I just haven't been able to work on it yet. Your bookmarks are inspiring!

Thanks Chessie, for the encouragement. and the info about the forum "intatters", I will have to look for that.
