"Unfolding Heart" tatting pattern

 

My original design. I decided to call it Unfolding Heart because it reminds me of how a plant unfolds as it grows.

The pattern is available in pdf format at my  
etsy shop.

Purple Glory

Purple to deep pink, inspired by a purple variety of Morning Glory flower which refused to show its true colors in photos...but the hand dyed thread looks good!

More "Knitty Gritty"

The previous batch of "Knitty Gritty" hand dyed thread sold out very quickly, so I have dyed some more.

I also added a few skeins of the darkest brown as a solid color in size 20. They are now listed in my Etsy shop at

"Peace", "Berry Intense", and what on earth is a "yarnplayer"?

Hi all, yarnplayer here. The "yarn" part means I've always been interested in yarn crafts of all sorts. The "player" part can mean that I like playing with yarn, but it also means that in my spare time I play the cello. Hence, the cello player in my profile picture. Which, by the way, is an original handwoven tapestry that I wove myself, from my own handspun yarn.

I've been tatting over 30 years. I began hand dyeing thread for tatting in 2007, using the technique I learned at a dyeing workshop given by the local handweaver's guild. It occurred to me at the time, that tatters would enjoy hand dyed thread as much as weavers and knitters enjoy hand dyed yarn. I hand paint small batches, and I'm always experimenting with color. I DO NOT do custom orders, for a number of reasons. So, please enjoy choosing from what is in my Etsy shop, the selection is always changing.

I also design for tatting. Mainly jewelry, but I've designed a few doilies and other things, too. I've self published 2 books.
