What am I doing at the moment? OK, funny guys, I know I'm sitting in front of the computer but what I REALLY meant is what am I doing tatting wise.
I'm working on hats. Small, flat hats. I've done 3D ones in the past (they're on my site somewhere) but I was asked if I knew of a flat one. I went round and round the internet to try and find one already 'out there'. I couldn't and I know there are some somewhere. SO disappointing.
The lady who asked was so sweet that I then thought that I could try and make one. Of course, me being me, I start on one and then have ideas for another!!!
One is done. It will be 'card sized', I think. The second one is rubbish so will be re-vamped again this evening. I'll show you the first one but I'm quite ashamed of the second. Actually I'll show you that when I've (hopefully!!!!) improved it!!!!
Very cute Jane! It must be a hat for Red Hat Society?
ReplyDeleteOh Jane, this is adorable! We love 'you being you' and your ideas! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love it. I always wonder what thread you used and what the finished size was.....
ReplyDeleteHi Deanna - it's a number 20 thread and the finished hat measures a tad over 1 1/2" across. The next one will be brooch sized and on a button. That's IF it doesn't get thrown out of the window shortly!!!!
ReplyDeletePerfect for the Red Hat Society ladies. My cousin Trudy is a Queen of her "hive" of RH gals…When you turn loose of the pattern (LOL) OR (hint) if you list them on ETSY, I could buy one! There are a lot of Red Hat Women out there. It's not my cuppa; but, we all march to our own drum. I really like what you came up with in your pattern!
ReplyDeleteXX P
There is a saying that goes like this "red hat no knickers"! Hats off to you Jane for another great design.
ReplyDeleteRidgetatter - the pattern will be out once I've conquered the other two that brain cell 3 is holding onto!!!
ReplyDeleteSally - now you've got the whole universe thinking I don't wear knickers!!!! For the Americans reading this - knickers is the same as 'underwear'!!!!!! BUT I DO wear knickers to keep me warm!!!!!
tatting a red hat is not "being" a red hat... Don't get Jane's knickers in a knot or she will NEVER be able to wrap her remaining brain cells around what she wants to do!!! And I admit- my jaw dropped wide open when I read Sallys comment... lol... roflol... wait till I share that tidbit with my red hat friends....
ReplyDeleteNo idea what a Red Hat is so I am off to look at the Internet! Funny, what you learn on a tatting site......
