I don't tat - I don't like the result and it's too fiddly but Spouse tats.
He just picked up a book and shuttle and thread and did it.
I can't do with people who can do everything :-(
But, as I said, I don't like the results and nobody else wants doyleys these
days so they're littered around the house.
So saying, we made new lampshades in the same colour parchment for table
lamps recently. They're different sizes and shapes so to co-ordinate them we
found some crochet cotton in the same colour, but deeper, as the new painted
walls and made trim for the shades. I knitted lace edgings for one, he
tatted some for another, I crocheted a third set and he says he'll do a
netting decoration for the fourth. We like them and they've been admired by
those who have noticed them - that is those who've had them pointed out :-)
It will have to wait until the darker months though, he's busy outside when
it's light and warm, making lanterns for a Virginian museum.
So much to do - so little life left to do it in!
