But first, I want to share my thoughts about the treble tatting join (TJ).
There are two methods, mine and Muskaan's. The Muskaan's method gives a slightly overlapping effect, then I think that I would better specify which TJ I'm using in patterns, because you would end with a little bit different looking tatting.
I'm at an impasse with the next one, I think it's nice as it is or... I could add one round more, but can't decide...
Then, I found a very lovely doily in the second issue of Mani di Fata, that is from 1942.
I discovered that that issue contains exactly the same patterns found in a little bit older german publication, from 1921. You can find the same doily at page 12 at this link:

That scan has been kindly offered by Georgia Seitz in the page "The Archive of Tatting Books in the Public Domain": http://www.georgiaseitz.com/public/publicindex.html
UPDATE: the book is from 1935 and it is listed here: https://www.craftree.com/sources/10176
Now, I'm very curious how and why that German publication was folded into the Italian magazine... Any of you can answer?
That is my start, that is not quite the same, but I know that you already got me!
In the left corner of the very first picture, there's one of two flat wood shuttles that I bought at Zagarolo, last week. They are perfect to hold beads!
That's all for today. Hope to have a little bit more to share next time!
Ciao

I love all the projects you have and all shuttles have great purpose for certain things they look great!
ReplyDeleteYes agree, those are my first flat ones, after your bunny of course, but I don't use it, I save it, it's so beautiful that I'm afraid to break or lose it! :X
DeleteOoooh, projects in progress and they all look wonderful!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you dear! :-f
DeleteI like a bit of everything in my salad - fruits, nuts and veggies ;-P
ReplyDeleteIMHO, there is no need to specify which particular join you are using (unless it makes a fundamental difference), except to give the choice beforehand or in your notes. Otherwise it may unnecessarily complicate the pattern and smooth flow of presentation.
(I like mixed salad, too)
DeleteActually, the difference is never 'fundamental', like when you choose between different way to join in double stitches, but when the lines of stitches overlap you may need to adjust the count too. In that ring and chain round, I wouldn't like the adjacent rings to overlap, in the centre, instead, I wanted half rings blocked one over the previous. Just what I like, and I'd like finding it in the visual pattern, without reading the notes, yes I'm lazy, lol!
Okay 😄 Perhaps you could use some colour coding to distinguish between the two TJs.
DeleteI like your Venetian Sunrise doily as is. It's just that I would've expected something more detailed than simple chains from you 😄😄😄😄
:)) 🌹🤣
DeleteI love how it looks when you stick a ring of tds in the middle of regular rings and chains. It adds a bit of a frill. (Pic 3)
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, I like those, too. 🥰👍
DeleteI think the doily looks perfect, doesn't need another round!
ReplyDeleteWell well! That is a great hint! Thank you a lot, dear Jane :X
DeleteI have not tried the TJ yet, but I do like the way it looks! I will have to spend more time studying the techniques you and Muskaan use. I do see a difference in the pictures. Your little doily is fabulous! I would be tempted to leave it as it is, or tat a replica with the next round(s) to see how the design evolves. There are so many choices to be made!
ReplyDelete:-f I hope that the treble tatting stitch is going to be tried by every tatter...
DeleteThank you for leaving your opinion about the doily. Exactly, there are many choices, that's the great fun when designing your own tatting! :)
I like the doily as is. I suppose if you wish to have a bigger piece of lace, you could add to it. I have no clue what to add though. Perhaps you could "sketch" something on paper or the computer?
ReplyDeleteThank you for leaving your comment, now I'm more confident that it is nice as it is, I need a little bit time more to reflect though 😘👋
DeleteYou have a great mixture of projects on the go, love the doily and two beautiful shuttles
ReplyDeleteThank you,Margaret :-f
