nuntium septuagesimum quartum (74th post) Stunned

It gets crazier.  Last week during our exploratory learning day, I was able to teach 10 kids to tat.  I'm not kidding- I was stunned.  I'm convinced it all has to do with Heather of Tatted Treasures videos.

I told them we could have tatting club on Monday.  Imagine my surprise when they brought four more kids.  They learned too!  14 in a week!!!

I saw one of the kids in the hall on Monday and asked if she'd been tatting and she got a huge grin and said she'd made a bookmark!  She knew rings and chains but not picots or joining so here's what she made. Can you stand it?  I am over the moon.

I even got to tat this weekend despite grades due on Monday.  It was a request from a certain daughter in her favorite size 80 vintage Aunt Rose-E thread.  It's the slightly modified Mary Konior Convolvulus edging. And remember the thread from Diane?  I tried the YLI Nordic Fjord.   Look at these purples in it. Same cross- it's easy and I love it! And just for fun, this is my front yard- in early May - in Minnesota!!! Latin for today:  attonitissima sum = I'm stunned  (and of course convolvulus means intertwined) Posted by Michelle at 9:57 PM 10 comments: I am so lucky!! Posted by Michelle at 9:38 PM 10 comments:
