A field of Shamrocks!

I have really had fun with Ruth's Celtic knot Shamrock, as you can see from this and previous posts. Left to right -Flora, DMC and DMC. All size 20. I know the center one is not really a shamrock color, but I like it the best! I think they make nice bookmarks. I'm going to keep the center one and use the others as gifts. Tatting is such a pleasure, largely due to the talented and generous designers who share with the rest of us.

And yes, J.B. and Elizabeth, I really am working on the doily too! Should be finished soon.

Another of Ruth's Shamrocks

Well, I tatted another one. This time in #20 Cebelia. I think I like them better each time. It's amazing how much easier it is to weave the Celtic knot each time!

Despite the picture, I did manage to get Ruth's shamrock done without combining it with the clover. I have a new camera and, needless to say, I have not mastered it! I tatted it with #10 crochet cotton this time and it really looks nice pinned to my blouse. I gave the combination clover/shamrock to my friend Madeline this morning and she really liked it. Thanks Ruth!

Presenting Ruth's Shamrock/Four Leaf Clover! I kinda combined the two by mistake, but I think it works! This is another pattern from the Tatting Pattern Calendar. I am really enjoying the calendar. It is so exciting to check each day and see what is on the menu. I hope a lot of you are taking advantage of it for your tatting. This is, of course, DMC Cebelia size 20.
