Anemone Apennina

And that's another Iris Neibach creation... Marty tried this sometime last week while I was doing my best trying out this one.

Well as you can see it dint come out that good as compared to Marty's. I knew it was a confusing pattern and unless you pay attention you might actually lose it. I was trying my best to be careful but I guess I confused myself with the flower and as you can see it, it's awful just there. :-( .

Now I want to try out the square doily - Anemone Sylvestris and if anyone has tried it yet can you please help me out? I seem to be lost on how to start. It is a wonderful pattern and I so badly want to work on it.

Floral Bookmark

There has been a lot of demand for the Pattern of the famous bookmark on my blog. I just thought I’ll share the link to everyone who is interested in it.

The bookmark is called Floral and it is on Kersti’s website. Actually when I initially started this bookmark I had no idea that the pattern was Kersti's, I had started working on it from a Picture. :-). Very recently one of the fellow tatters from etatters pointed out to me that the pattern is available on Kersti.com

I have received lot of concern over the site being down, which actually it was. But now the good news is that it is working and that the pattern can be found here.

Kersti has some very beautiful patterns put up there. Happy Tatting!

Stella Alpina



Iris Neibach's patterns are a pleasure to work with. This doily is named as Stella Alpina in her book "Fantasia". This is very easy to make and I managed to finsh it in a day.

Her books contain such beautiful patterns that sometimes make me wonder "Where does she get these ideas from"? They look quite complicated sometimes but her instructions make it easy to understand just while you tat it.

It’s raining Bookmarks!

I can’t believe why I am stuck on these. Well I’ll drop in a secret – if anyone hasn’t tried this pattern yet, I sincerely think you should. It is just great to work on.

And I’d suggest you use an HDT – look at the way the color unfolds… this pattern does justice to all the wonderful HDT threads. That way I think no pattern can not do justice to HDT. They are a marvel to work with while the Pattern can be found at Kersti.com.

Here’s a snapshot for all of you to have a closer look and I am all of you HDT fans will agree to this. The pictures arent that clear since I dont have a scanner at home and have to rely on my Digital camera.
