They have my gratitude and high respect. They made it possible to bring this book to many more tatters than I had ever imagined, as my humble goal was only to talk to Italian lacemakers. In particular, I owe a lot to Muskaan for her accurate work. She has a talent in teaching, and learning from her and with her has been an honour. In many parts she suggested the right tatting terms and better sentences, contributed valid points and corrected some accidental incoherence coming throughout from my Italian text. Definitely she made it a better book. Many thanks, Muskaan! Now it’s up to the tatters to take their shuttles or needles and enjoy the result of our work!</i><p></p><p>Book published! - "Tatting is a serious matter English Edition” – Amazon link: <a href="https://a.co/d/h1iSEXb">https://a.co/d/h1iSEXb</a> <br /></p><p>I can't thank Karen and Muskaan enough, for being so generous and wonderful friends. Karen was so sweet when she accepted to do the translation, around one year ago. After some months I received her first version, and I’d tell you the true, proofreading my own book has been very difficult for me! But I’m blessed to have another amazing friend! I feel very grateful to Muskaan, for her important role in checking the content. For this book I'm a lot more relaxed than for the Italian edition, now I'm more confident in the content thanks to Muskaan 🌹. During this past year, since Sept 2022, I haven't been able to correct my own errors in the Italian edition, and this is the proof that learning – both tatting and English - is a “serious” process for me, that will never ends!</p><p>For a brief presentation of the book’s contents, read also the following posts: <a href="https://ninettacaruso.blogspot.com/2023/05/hurray.html">https://ninettacaruso.blogspot.com/2023/05/hurray.html</a> and <a href="https://ninettacaruso.blogspot.com/2022/10/treble-happyness.html">https://ninettacaruso.blogspot.com/2022/10/treble-happyness.html</a><br /></p><p>Ciao,<br />Ninetta<br />-----------<br /><br /></p>Ninettahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11490235424409961150noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2747867141756695770.post-49573406811522505052023-05-01T00:06:00.000+02:002023-05-01T00:06:09.017+02:00Hurray!!!<p>Last year was a special year for me, I realized my dream to publish a book I had in the drawer for some years. I am very grateful to everyone who encouraged and supported me, and my sincere thanks also go to the many readers, who positively welcomed the first edition of "Il chiacchierino è una cosa seria". Currently, the first edition is no longer available, because it has been replaced by a second edition. </p><p>"Il chiacchierino è una cosa seria Second edition” – Amazon link: <a href="https://amzn.eu/d/br7ILv8">https://amzn.eu/d/br7ILv8</a></p><p>I am so happy for having had the opportunity to release a new version of the book! The content of the first edition is still there, with minimal corrections (basically misprints), and then there are some pages more, with an appendix in which I describe a new variant of the treble tatting stitch and one unpublished pattern for a small pendant. It’s - again - a version only in Italian.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLghvEbuen6pX33Q189AcUQpARlVolPDI4onMEHJT9yqBLCV9ZE3SliiXXJpcix9thd4Tq_moHrSY9WT0hE59njf3pp4SbElRaTJNlcYYPtOnrSUgPYHp5Vn1682sEyqNNTBansXIzlDUAlpfxUIPRH5jzzBZqlc7CqTXLzxzBpMrX5eDzIumIicdK5A/s1024/2023-04-30_23.28.52_wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="1024" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLghvEbuen6pX33Q189AcUQpARlVolPDI4onMEHJT9yqBLCV9ZE3SliiXXJpcix9thd4Tq_moHrSY9WT0hE59njf3pp4SbElRaTJNlcYYPtOnrSUgPYHp5Vn1682sEyqNNTBansXIzlDUAlpfxUIPRH5jzzBZqlc7CqTXLzxzBpMrX5eDzIumIicdK5A/s320/2023-04-30_23.28.52_wm.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Writing the book, my first goal was to talk to Italian lacemakers. We hadn't any book containing the history of tatting from an Italian point of view, neither we have the translation of great English books containing historical information about tatting in the world. For example, unfortunately it has never been translated into Italian the Elgiva Nicholls' book: Tatting Techniques & History, nor the Rebecca Jones’: “The Complete Book of Tatting”, and so many others really valuable books. Well, I tried to do my best: I beg your pardon for any inaccuracies, and I can only assure you that I keep on studying.<p></p><p>As a blogger, I chose the English language, hence most of my blog's content is not easy to be read by Italian tatters. Everything here is free, I shared with you almost all the content of the book. The treble tatting stitch is explained here in detail (and it has been blogged by Muskaan too - better than me – she has a talent in teaching!), but it is all in English. Also, other tatters shared videos, like for example Karen Cabrera, but those are in English too.<br />I hope that my book will help Italian tatters to reproduce the treble tatting stitch and – knowing their creativity – they will be able to design beautiful and never-seen-before tatting patterns. I also learned a lot (and I’m still learning) about how to teach “modern” tatting in Italian.</p><p>… And I’ve still a lot to learn about how to present the book --- I’m a shy person and I'm not at ease talking in public. Don’t ask me what I said during the last launch of the book: my mind went foggy!!!</p><p>Dear English readers, for an English edition, sorry I kindly ask you to be patient. I’m honoured to have talented friends who are working on it. There aren't words to express my feelings for being so blessed to have amazing friends who are willing to help me.</p><p>For a brief presentation of the book’s contents, read also the following post: <a href="https://ninettacaruso.blogspot.com/2022/10/treble-happyness.html">https://ninettacaruso.blogspot.com/2022/10/treble-happyness.html</a> </p><p>I also take the opportunity of this post to show you the Swirling Butterflies doily beautifully tatted by Reiko Akamatsu:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOKNZg0c217LxEiNq8KyXaUA7APhgPJJVgNgWf9X4NMlL5HvdKWmPa5yxyOW7rV_l3U2_M5ykslzWo4IbAFCv0_Jpj6bhpE-76ffGfT7JV2Fy1PXFyr1iX_F8B-3uoC5NqODRKKgtHZKMpzI2ju1f0i3yT6lJyYWHoSgu_Hz4YwTp8Sdfqnb9nD5fyUA/s1300/2022-11-15_09.39_wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1123" data-original-width="1300" height="276" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOKNZg0c217LxEiNq8KyXaUA7APhgPJJVgNgWf9X4NMlL5HvdKWmPa5yxyOW7rV_l3U2_M5ykslzWo4IbAFCv0_Jpj6bhpE-76ffGfT7JV2Fy1PXFyr1iX_F8B-3uoC5NqODRKKgtHZKMpzI2ju1f0i3yT6lJyYWHoSgu_Hz4YwTp8Sdfqnb9nD5fyUA/s320/2022-11-15_09.39_wm.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p>Ciao,<br />Ninetta<br /></p><br />Ninettahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11490235424409961150noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2747867141756695770.post-63661857726599883312022-10-22T17:30:00.051+02:002023-07-23T17:34:54.013+02:00treble happyness!<p>Treble tatting is now part of a published book! </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjJDVHnUxUXWxzmaoZDTmmPib-leXFNqvT5pfLsqych9JxQK4UDtNxPlgmZWPsy1gEGU2CJMjhTXN2FdyNNXpbPL_kw3OmUP0SWMkDUR6vDCZjxCxBalCGCLeQFmYgZiSpJ_l7tESgX8qwCFTzEhifjiP3UJsdUbRyCXf0qbVzGgDMowwX8WvHt6_RWA/s2048/IMG-20220427-WA0002.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2047" data-original-width="2048" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjJDVHnUxUXWxzmaoZDTmmPib-leXFNqvT5pfLsqych9JxQK4UDtNxPlgmZWPsy1gEGU2CJMjhTXN2FdyNNXpbPL_kw3OmUP0SWMkDUR6vDCZjxCxBalCGCLeQFmYgZiSpJ_l7tESgX8qwCFTzEhifjiP3UJsdUbRyCXf0qbVzGgDMowwX8WvHt6_RWA/s320/IMG-20220427-WA0002.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p><br />At the moment it is only in Italian, <strike>and available on Amazon: <a href="https://amzn.eu/d/4MlEOyX" target="_blank">https://amzn.eu/d/4MlEOyX</a></strike></p><p>=======</p><p>UPDATE 30th April 2023 - <br /></p><p><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

"they say that is not a serious thing" - I wrote about it in the
introduction of the book and also in an old blog post of mine
(<a href="https://ninettacaruso.blogspot.com/2017/05/are-you-serious.html" target="_blank">https://ninettacaruso.blogspot.com/2017/05/are-you-serious.html</a>). </p><p>There are three chapters: the first covers the history of tatting, mainly from an Italian viewpoint. There are many contradictions and stereotypes about tatting, often confused (by non-tatters) with bottonhole stitch or with the "Fiandra a tre paia" bobbin lace. Some people cannot accept needle tatting. Also, just because we usually say that tatting has only 2 stitches, someone thinks that tatting is meagre. Sometimes it is not even classified as Lace! Alessandra Caputo writes in her foreword: "<i>..., if on one hand needle and bobbin lace are indicated as laces with a capital L, on the other hand there are a whole series of laceworks considered "minor", sometimes with a history not less long and prestigious, which from a technical point of view are undoubtedly self-supporting and therefore can be rightly defined as lace.</i>" Phew! Thanks Alessandra!! 😊<br /></p><p>In the second chapter there is the treble tatting. I improved my drawings for showing how to tat the treble stitch - and there are links to my videos, easily accessible thanks to qrcodes; I've used a free QR Code Generator: <a href="http://goqr.me/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://goqr.me/</a></p><p>The third chapter contains detailed instructions, pictures and diagrams for the Swirling Butterflies doily pattern. Maybe, some of you remember that I've shared here in my blog the first 3 rounds, and few people had tatted it. For example: <br /></p><p>Jane McLellan (<a href="https://janemactats.blogspot.com/2018/09/butterflies-tethered.html" target="_blank">https://janemactats.blogspot.com/2018/09/butterflies-tethered.html</a>);</p><p>Muskaan (<a href="https://tipsaroundthehome.blogspot.com/search/label/swirling%20butterflies" target="_blank">https://tipsaroundthehome.blogspot.com/search/label/swirling%20butterflies</a>)</p><p>You can find my old blogposts about this doily, all posts with label: <a href="https://ninettacaruso.blogspot.com/search/label/swirling%20butterflies" target="_blank">swirling butterflies</a> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGsqDAiehLIn5TJTvfn0RsNEQLeyn5AcG7DKeA0JvGMluqPz4PrsFGMc9lSu0i9yNN4YhK-N8LX04VVPYCku_gm9r_7hggWnynxD9DoHw0vW2p04BHrGo2S9W70xpRmJb845DhS_R7JLs2B47tVC1KMmaQYp17ef-zH9BzVLgTLvDDJbK1tQeRGjyGwA/s1023/20201005_123935_wm_wm.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1023" data-original-width="1023" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGsqDAiehLIn5TJTvfn0RsNEQLeyn5AcG7DKeA0JvGMluqPz4PrsFGMc9lSu0i9yNN4YhK-N8LX04VVPYCku_gm9r_7hggWnynxD9DoHw0vW2p04BHrGo2S9W70xpRmJb845DhS_R7JLs2B47tVC1KMmaQYp17ef-zH9BzVLgTLvDDJbK1tQeRGjyGwA/s320/20201005_123935_wm_wm.jpg" width="320" /></a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This beauty is a gift for a good friend!

She lives a little far from me, in Calabria, that is known for the many natural and art sites (seaside, parks, archeological sites, museums).

Anna, just like me and many other tatters, has started learning new techniques since the internet era. She usually says that she cannot design, that she needs patterns. But I think that she has put her personal touch everywhere, making each model unique.

She is a very well known talented tatter and designer, also known as NeedleDreams, a nickname she has long used for her site and her online shop.<br />She started working on the Endrucks book when it was first put online, in the Online Tatting Class. The previous pic is her “Victorian Lace” bracelet. That motif is derived from pattern n.10 and it was tatted in 2012. Then she promised earrings and choker/headband too, but life is unpredictable, and the years flew past…<br />When we started the Project in 2020 she immediately offered her generous help, committing herself to tat and share the patterns n.10 and n.5.<p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn_2m5slaXXhvdlPjW8rMavrzGiiPVmyuEancvh9nK3pcehjTh7jpv4lHOu1LEbsbIlaCLvltHJ6Rg_pEc74uriDKxgwPw1ZH60GPA92UjguTX143qRra5egDHmjE2o4yGlQ5aSa-iialZb88hsHopm0u4T20cqQINbtmRVQ3gUv7SbGTLOYJPb5bfIw/s1024/endrucks%20n10%20picture16_wm_wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="460" data-original-width="1024" height="144" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn_2m5slaXXhvdlPjW8rMavrzGiiPVmyuEancvh9nK3pcehjTh7jpv4lHOu1LEbsbIlaCLvltHJ6Rg_pEc74uriDKxgwPw1ZH60GPA92UjguTX143qRra5egDHmjE2o4yGlQ5aSa-iialZb88hsHopm0u4T20cqQINbtmRVQ3gUv7SbGTLOYJPb5bfIw/s320/endrucks%20n10%20picture16_wm_wm.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPv2Qzwhfd022wL9x126HoXLZgQzaOi_I3xxuvHECIIJaEQIQbKa4RrA4jpqEcBEKviVz0sxDjQG5yMAYvQdR3NJz0jioaovaIxTVbUcMTwxw8VZ-UGgZ0mlcX17UDMTLIU3a6YIkvkTaZXrHg5FrkD8DBsoZjx58JExTSpWNufQewEJm_YS7LbZDJxA/s1024/endrucks%20n.5%20Wally%202021_wm_wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="460" data-original-width="1024" height="144" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPv2Qzwhfd022wL9x126HoXLZgQzaOi_I3xxuvHECIIJaEQIQbKa4RrA4jpqEcBEKviVz0sxDjQG5yMAYvQdR3NJz0jioaovaIxTVbUcMTwxw8VZ-UGgZ0mlcX17UDMTLIU3a6YIkvkTaZXrHg5FrkD8DBsoZjx58JExTSpWNufQewEJm_YS7LbZDJxA/s320/endrucks%20n.5%20Wally%202021_wm_wm.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Samples and draft pdfs arrived, we had published them as they were at the time, but lately I found the right time to edit them again to add diagrams and detailed text to her stepwise pictures.

For instance using the Dora Young Knot filigree petals of this cute blue and white Ice Drop. Her thirst is infectious. Her penchant for coming up with fun patterns is inspiring. She was the one who coined the term ‘hybrid tatting’ for the use of both shuttle and needle in a same pattern/technique, and her combination of her Rolled Picot with my Intruding Picot – she called it Rolled Intruding Picot - in a flower motif is among the best so far.”</i></span> - muskaan</p><p>⁕⁕⁕⁕⁕⁕⁕⁕⁕⁕⁕⁕⁕⁕⁕⁕⁕⁕⁕⁕⁕⁕⁕</p><p>Cynthia Dooley is among the very few needle tatters we have in our group.

A long road of recovery. <br /><br />I had a passion for tatting but never learned until 2017 - self taught through books and YouTube. Struggled at first and all I can say is practice, practice, practice until things start to click.<br />I found FB groups "Beginners group", “Tatted Buttons” and “Ice Drop Addicts”. I learned even more from the posts and questions. I started with edgings attached to hankies/flour towels. <br />The groups referenced Muskaan. So I started reading blogs and patterns.<br />Then I was invited to the Endrucks 1920 Project. I loved pattern #5 since it reminded me of an Easter basket upside down. Tatting has given me happiness, friendship, and a gift of giving. Rarely do I keep a piece that I make with my heart & hands. I have cherished the comments and instruction others have given me; surely has helped me along my journey of tatting.”<br /></i><br />Cynthia shares some of her tatted pieces with us:</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyX26bsDT8EZBGIQhbFYkuyYfEMp8FNOKXPESk7rgtlFINLLZpLqYdAqXMNK5_02dBRCAfIX9sTlutQ39_AnnqOkolRMQ7iea_VUOTkE5LusMdl1WlA3_nCRxk6ryZru3Z1ZknPML3Mt3bBrhCEJ2qXchlYEyR8Sf1_IPSfJi4TbZzMXaM6JE06cK0xg/s1008/Resized_20200620_142241_11572055748757_wm_wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1008" data-original-width="756" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyX26bsDT8EZBGIQhbFYkuyYfEMp8FNOKXPESk7rgtlFINLLZpLqYdAqXMNK5_02dBRCAfIX9sTlutQ39_AnnqOkolRMQ7iea_VUOTkE5LusMdl1WlA3_nCRxk6ryZru3Z1ZknPML3Mt3bBrhCEJ2qXchlYEyR8Sf1_IPSfJi4TbZzMXaM6JE06cK0xg/s320/Resized_20200620_142241_11572055748757_wm_wm.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnZqrqbvaPuWSNeSfXT7inp6ab-twFcpuSud4CS3Ux4o25USE6U1ru3TLezj23x7vUaql-DM_C9UJ1mi1IMOVFbI390z869q8spXekSxP5PV-260ixgvh3jBbXnoyk1_VICA_LcF0Z0lksCoFEwlbHBObN3dr1w8PaQNQsU2iXb3WudNSDbU7sU5vy3A/s1024/20210121_190015_wm_wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="858" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnZqrqbvaPuWSNeSfXT7inp6ab-twFcpuSud4CS3Ux4o25USE6U1ru3TLezj23x7vUaql-DM_C9UJ1mi1IMOVFbI390z869q8spXekSxP5PV-260ixgvh3jBbXnoyk1_VICA_LcF0Z0lksCoFEwlbHBObN3dr1w8PaQNQsU2iXb3WudNSDbU7sU5vy3A/s320/20210121_190015_wm_wm.jpg" width="268" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJQG43RxrsoWQfVisw-yAUY5YgN30cFh0luql-1tvPMriine7Apuo7sS3YfdzQnQ7P8TaX_FTftDV0XnvJPFgMTB9wfD_rBoox7LVq1V1X_chljYUv72LopuEt_O0MSMJA_ZDTVb2iUP-SS8eypLQKM9IJEAyXX8Iu6Q5U_3IEy9-GtUz36fIg1B1gmQ/s1024/20200913_210415_wm_wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="1024" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJQG43RxrsoWQfVisw-yAUY5YgN30cFh0luql-1tvPMriine7Apuo7sS3YfdzQnQ7P8TaX_FTftDV0XnvJPFgMTB9wfD_rBoox7LVq1V1X_chljYUv72LopuEt_O0MSMJA_ZDTVb2iUP-SS8eypLQKM9IJEAyXX8Iu6Q5U_3IEy9-GtUz36fIg1B1gmQ/s320/20200913_210415_wm_wm.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXZ1TD0ojpogEW27Asyws9H94w-CA0xXY3ADUFeauZbgLXSPQiE50BwblPmkFlBOGoqOUM2uK5Ll7r4YYyG8AuB9UkQ4wCaLal3BTpbCQM43J6E8eKgzn4SxTKTSySOouhmSPMS57EaNazAdya2KmwTlMBCNtcIAPbA4lUSJ_0TYVpirCdPZAgWrdFBw/s1024/20200718_125701_wm_wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="916" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXZ1TD0ojpogEW27Asyws9H94w-CA0xXY3ADUFeauZbgLXSPQiE50BwblPmkFlBOGoqOUM2uK5Ll7r4YYyG8AuB9UkQ4wCaLal3BTpbCQM43J6E8eKgzn4SxTKTSySOouhmSPMS57EaNazAdya2KmwTlMBCNtcIAPbA4lUSJ_0TYVpirCdPZAgWrdFBw/s320/20200718_125701_wm_wm.jpg" width="286" /></a></div><p>She loves antique patterns made modern and can spend hours browsing through patterns!<br /><br />We hope Cynthia works more patterns from our Endrucks’ collection and shares her needle tatting notes with the community.<br /><br />****************************<br />Muskaan joins me in thanking Wally and Cynthia for their contribution to the Endrucks Project.<br />Ninetta and Muskaan.<br /><br />****************************</p><p>Endrucks 1920 Project is a community project, where patterns from Endrucks’ German book of 1920 were converted to modern-style presentations and pdfs.

She chose the pattern number 13 in the book. Her tatting and beautiful diagram arrived fast, about the first half of Nov 2020, only few days after we asked help in the Italian facebook group (“Chiacchierino: Filo Amore e Fantasia”).<p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjfGHKA6XlkKX8nkd5z3PkNmNJ92r--wP5EqgpryDSgfuZ4jbjStXhX3kGAFl8f7WHe71qqLyiUc46H13gjG2wd7p_dsp5SPsRTa5D520kEjK-1q1SiPKVhIPkIEUL27sxdoKN90AinL2MOAehFhBM8_97zoyypzhN_bs-BsMCGQgn70lGFAAdhnpDkkw=s1024" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="1024" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjfGHKA6XlkKX8nkd5z3PkNmNJ92r--wP5EqgpryDSgfuZ4jbjStXhX3kGAFl8f7WHe71qqLyiUc46H13gjG2wd7p_dsp5SPsRTa5D520kEjK-1q1SiPKVhIPkIEUL27sxdoKN90AinL2MOAehFhBM8_97zoyypzhN_bs-BsMCGQgn70lGFAAdhnpDkkw=s320" width="320" /></a></div>In the above pic, the multicoloured sample was her first attempt. She tatted it with shuttle and ball (we won’t tell that to Eleonore!), but the pattern doesn’t - strictly - call for a second shuttle. Also in the original pattern, the shuttle in hand is always the same. This is an exception among Endrucks’ patterns (after a quick search, I noticed that only #13, #38 and #42 have the “shuttle 1” symbol alone), in fact here it is what Muskaan wants to add:<p></p><p><i>When Ninetta sent me this draft, I was stumped by the fact that this was tatted using shuttle and ball instead of 2 shuttles …. aren’t those 2 thrown/floating rings in the center? On close inspection, turns out they are normal rings and the chain pairs on either side are facing each other! And Silvia’s perfect tatting enhances the effect. Learning from each and every project/pattern is marvellous and continuous.</i></p><p>This is the direct link to the pattern reworked and diagrammed by Silvia Passaquieti:</p><p><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qZ0BsgjQ81es0J7G1FI3mng3xwjjeHOT/view">https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qZ0BsgjQ81es0J7G1FI3mng3xwjjeHOT/view</a> <br /></p><p>I like the path that led Silvia from the upper rings to the bottom, in fact she warns us about the sequence, it is very interesting. Although I think that other paths were possible, I like it and the result is what matters. Endrucks taught us that we can tat anything we like, following the path we like, we need only the thread and the shuttle… or the needle. </p><p>Silvia also tats with the needle, and she’s very skilled because you can’t say if her lace has been shuttle or needle tatted. </p><p>She lives in Umbria (that is a region in the middle of Italy, you might remember this area for the series of earthquakes in 2016) and lately I’ve seen one of her fb posts, where she was at a fair wearing a traditional folk costume. She often shows us her tatting displays at local fairs. Also, she has an Etsy shop and a facebook page with her own designs.</p><p>Silvia Facebook page: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TatFantasy/">https://www.facebook.com/TatFantasy/</a> <br />Silvia’s Etsy shop: <a href="https://www.etsy.com/it/shop/Tatfantasy">https://www.etsy.com/it/shop/Tatfantasy</a> <br />She also has a YouTube channel: <a href="https://youtube.com/channel/UCavGdkHEmTsyOfMCmN4hc4A">https://youtube.com/channel/UCavGdkHEmTsyOfMCmN4hc4A</a> </p><p>I remember that in our Fb group she posted about how she started tatting: her mum loved tatted lace though she didn’t learn how to tat. But she passed the love to her daughter, Silvia, who, few years ago (4 or 5) started self-learning. I remember it because it is very similar to my personal story, many years before though!</p><p>In Silvia’s page you find her words: "<i>Dall'incontro di un filo e di un'idea nascono piccoli gioielli</i>" - <br />That means: “Small jewels arise from the encounter between the thread and an idea”.</p><p>Muskaan and I are very grateful to Silvia for her prompt help. We would love to see more tatting from her from the book, wishing her to sweep kilometres of threads and never sweep out ideas.<br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">************<br /></p><p>For Silvia, and for you all, talented tatters in search of inspiration, there’s still a lot waiting to be discovered in this booklet. Quoting Eleonore Endrucks:</p><p><i>“My book shows you the way out of the eternal monotony of all tatted lace so far. Tatted lace is eternally modifiable and will adapt to any style […] It is a great fortune to create something beautiful with simple means, I hope that my book will give you the key to this happiness.”</i><br /></p><p>It’s wonderful that Simone Beyer translated for us the non-pattern pages from the German to the English, so that, after one century, we can enjoy Eleonore’s own words, shared in this document: <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-LzBnvzj7azCWLXJACSvcNHegXfP4fv_/view">https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-LzBnvzj7azCWLXJACSvcNHegXfP4fv_/view</a> <br />And thanks to Anna Tedesco, who helped me, we are happy to share the Italian translation as well: <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/17R1LYneE2KDTWVOTjzv4yfsQ6oPizR8t/view">https://drive.google.com/file/d/17R1LYneE2KDTWVOTjzv4yfsQ6oPizR8t/view</a> <br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">*********************<br /></p><p><b><i>Endrucks 1920 Project</i></b> is a community project, we welcome every one of you to join in and enjoy the modern-style pdfs that have been uploaded!

It has been a great adventure for all of us, everyone learned something new from Frau Eleonore.</p><p>In this post I’m honored to host pictures by a long-term experienced tatter, Paola Emilia Rotuletti. She’s been tatting nearly 50 years. If there’s a chance for you to visit our Italian Fb group (“Chiacchierino: filo, amore e fantasia”), you’ll find that she is one of our most active members! She doesn’t share her tatting in her own profile, but often enriches our group with her eye candies!</p><p>She joined the project in mid-July, and chose the pattern n.42, a doily that came back again after being adopted at the end of last year.<br />Then, in less than one month, she sent us at least 3 versions of the doily (and many stepwise pictures).<br /><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdSdTv2vfq3BWRezjQX9VXuvhA70k8pFZyU33KHZ5vTs2wcahBz73YH6J3PgOWh3HU1C8utzjIMdllnVxIc9grmxxodzRZkhIGIyvy3vQYANTGl0pO1mmDurUsYYj-Rv69X9H47Ml7gT47/s1024/ESECUZIONE+6.jpg1_wm_wm.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="1024" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdSdTv2vfq3BWRezjQX9VXuvhA70k8pFZyU33KHZ5vTs2wcahBz73YH6J3PgOWh3HU1C8utzjIMdllnVxIc9grmxxodzRZkhIGIyvy3vQYANTGl0pO1mmDurUsYYj-Rv69X9H47Ml7gT47/s320/ESECUZIONE+6.jpg1_wm_wm.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsr1Gh2tx0-KqV2OJbeAII2R4mw3ynFpMw3WuDBF2mWpTiauALKio0I-whRVKT5DyO71KKZdYb1k_GDLSZ0-sXxlLaP6tZGpnhRMEHuObiSfXMva-uy1sBXvRaXEjEfooY0Q-nfbKuooSS/s1024/FILO+SFUMATO+MODELLO+42.jpg1_wm_wm.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="780" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsr1Gh2tx0-KqV2OJbeAII2R4mw3ynFpMw3WuDBF2mWpTiauALKio0I-whRVKT5DyO71KKZdYb1k_GDLSZ0-sXxlLaP6tZGpnhRMEHuObiSfXMva-uy1sBXvRaXEjEfooY0Q-nfbKuooSS/s320/FILO+SFUMATO+MODELLO+42.jpg1_wm_wm.jpg" width="244" /></a></div>(Have you noticed?

Thank you very much, Paola Emilia, for having put at work for us your long tatting experience, wisdom, and enthusiasm! <br />Also, Muskaan wants to remember how she (virtually) met her, as a nice anecdote:</p><p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;"><i>I first ‘recognised’ Paola when she participated in a group event and not only tatted my Block Heart but displayed them spectacularly on mugs! She was eager for my reaction to this doily as well and I enjoyed our brief conversation. She is such a sweet lady.<br />What I noticed was her thrown rings in round 4! She tatted a normal ring and then folded it up to simulate a thrown/floating ring! Obviously, it broke the chain but also gave the entire center a more organic/natural rose flower look! I had never seen this before though Ninetta told me many Italian tatters do it similarly. It led to the ready reckoner for Thrown/Floating Ring methods and I termed this particular method <b>Thrown Flipped Up Ring</b>. <br /><a href="https://tipsaroundthehome.blogspot.com/2021/08/thrown-floating-and-8-rings.html">https://tipsaroundthehome.blogspot.com/2021/08/thrown-floating-and-8-rings.html</a> <br /><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PhXhtq9K-WiUbys0dwwZuOIat10hGlB0/view">https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PhXhtq9K-WiUbys0dwwZuOIat10hGlB0/view</a> <br />So, as both Paola and Ninetta say, the learning never ends!</i><br /></p><p>**********************<br />Endrucks 1920 Project is a community project, we welcome every one of you to join in and enjoy the modern-style pdfs that have been uploaded!

I remember that a couple of years ago, we had a game there, asking us to talk a little about ourself and post a picture of our favourite tatting project. She posted a lovely tatted tea set, three-dimensional, worked in a previous tat-along in another group. She's tatting for about ten years now, self-taught. I was moved by her words, where she wrote that someone told her that tatting was much too difficult to learn but she faced the challenge and succeeded indeed! That is will power! And we are all very happy that she did it!<br /><br />Then, last year I met her at another nice "virtual" venue: a "secret" group where we voluntarily test-tatted Edda Guastalla's patterns, those that ended up in her book "Quadrati magici". I was impressed by Mariantonietta's lovely doily - a beautifully tatted edging around a central fabric piece, attached all by hand. The picture is included in Edda's book. I have nice memories from that great adventure, it was a nice and productive group! All tatters worked together very well, enjoying Edda's patterns!<br /><br />Then, at the end of last year we came to our new adventure: the Endrucks' 1920 project. Mariantonietta was among the first tatters who joined Muskaan (I think she was the first Italian volunteer, after me). She chose the pattern number 33 in the book. Her tatting and her drawing arrived in a blink, by the mid of November and we could publish the doc within that month.<br /><br />Direct link to the n.33 pattern: <p></p><p><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_u5nbBemi0fveB3Y2a_wFXKkfIACRCJ2/view">https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_u5nbBemi0fveB3Y2a_wFXKkfIACRCJ2/view</a></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrxTlToINAqdcGRZugFXEhKdgkGBYuKEswDiIVzp2TRgPeHeZ6cCMrXJAnCg7f60RQBzc8UhURR62N8yaNTeFGhV6jI3Wf-0l_bA6zrBaLaQ_tNHVJxyBlm_IJnHdUPwxlULpYUFa-KBhr/s1024/126230423_2791675394382332_5531238934391368051_n_wm_wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="1024" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrxTlToINAqdcGRZugFXEhKdgkGBYuKEswDiIVzp2TRgPeHeZ6cCMrXJAnCg7f60RQBzc8UhURR62N8yaNTeFGhV6jI3Wf-0l_bA6zrBaLaQ_tNHVJxyBlm_IJnHdUPwxlULpYUFa-KBhr/s320/126230423_2791675394382332_5531238934391368051_n_wm_wm.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />I feel really guilty to have pushed off for so long writing a post to thank her.

She helped us in the Endrucks 1920 Project, with the pattern n.43 and created a parure from it. She was among the first group of volunteers, in fact her first sample arrived very soon, in November 2020 (Gosh! Almost one year has already gone! And the great news is that almost all patterns have been modernised or are in the final stages of presentation). Then, a couple months later, her necklace and the earrings arrived.</p><p>Here I’d like to introduce her with her own words, in the way she shared them last February, in our FB group, along with some pics of her tatting:</p><p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;"><i>Mi presento con qualche lavoro: ho 64 anni. Ho imparato il chiacchierino a navetta in prima media durante l'ora di applicazioni tecniche. Negli anni ho realizzato pizzi e centrini ma solo negli ultimi anni, grazie a fb, ho scoperto quante altre cose meravigliose si possono realizzare, anche se molte non sono alla mia portata.<br />Per chi lo volesse sono disponibile ad insegnare quel poco che so. </i><br /></p><p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;">I introduce myself with some of my tatting. I am 64 years old. I learned shuttle tatting in 6th grade, during the so called “Applicazioni tecniche” class (we used to practice many handicrafts in that class). Over the years I have made edgings and doilies, but it is only in recent years, thanks to fb, that I have discovered how many other wonderful things can be made, even if many are not within my reach.<br />For those who wish to learn, I am available to teach the little I know.<br /></p><p>She’s very humble but actually very talented, as you can see from just these few pictures:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoKVk3F9wPc7OPAgnRPXat9tyqgFutigGlGoNwMFnIl11I5sjMxhiZQzfhG9lLo6e8jKh4y9wKVhv3rivq6jiYzeivy0wygcd6NY6TkPLAVbdSas9ucUVgNfzHA6Y9N6imk3lc3vcP-wfO/s621/20211008_115022.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="621" data-original-width="512" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoKVk3F9wPc7OPAgnRPXat9tyqgFutigGlGoNwMFnIl11I5sjMxhiZQzfhG9lLo6e8jKh4y9wKVhv3rivq6jiYzeivy0wygcd6NY6TkPLAVbdSas9ucUVgNfzHA6Y9N6imk3lc3vcP-wfO/s320/20211008_115022.jpg" width="264" /></a></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhph3jG0EVW0a_aqDFA-xPwbSiJzc5Ll_Axj-z0otsKh5tAv5WrjSS7K36WsgNe1tx5t8bSjYmyy42dWyOv7gK-yJqEtbInLJP2VDl_Jn9pdqayQifnB6OJR3l03HZ34kIVvh8UbypmuTXq/s853/FB_IMG_1633686049748_wm_wm.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="853" data-original-width="480" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhph3jG0EVW0a_aqDFA-xPwbSiJzc5Ll_Axj-z0otsKh5tAv5WrjSS7K36WsgNe1tx5t8bSjYmyy42dWyOv7gK-yJqEtbInLJP2VDl_Jn9pdqayQifnB6OJR3l03HZ34kIVvh8UbypmuTXq/s320/FB_IMG_1633686049748_wm_wm.jpg" width="180" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY6wrymgtElA-fqDj0nulA9YUE4eG7Jhyd_cDeoNSeVDlAanng1d4vcqy7NZxQT3JAJ1fv2Nw8PwwqDeT-yhx9CNA5ZOygGpDpT9yId7KxUmAEvE6pdYJC3iFwxJF36TfYfl5TeBgI6nFV/s1024/FB_IMG_1633686083320_wm_wm.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="683" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY6wrymgtElA-fqDj0nulA9YUE4eG7Jhyd_cDeoNSeVDlAanng1d4vcqy7NZxQT3JAJ1fv2Nw8PwwqDeT-yhx9CNA5ZOygGpDpT9yId7KxUmAEvE6pdYJC3iFwxJF36TfYfl5TeBgI6nFV/s320/FB_IMG_1633686083320_wm_wm.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxAnlyH9YRELjD227FpxkdGLTVB6gjRRVYMtIRPvK8vOa_AzFpU0wlt8RPHkngbg4_y5nevz8BfvuKliWfU8dFyh1ohCcbid_A9FDklSh9UQsF2Iv6S5unQoBVehxb6886c0uvPO_Y1UZR/s960/FB_IMG_1633685990138_wm_wm.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxAnlyH9YRELjD227FpxkdGLTVB6gjRRVYMtIRPvK8vOa_AzFpU0wlt8RPHkngbg4_y5nevz8BfvuKliWfU8dFyh1ohCcbid_A9FDklSh9UQsF2Iv6S5unQoBVehxb6886c0uvPO_Y1UZR/s320/FB_IMG_1633685990138_wm_wm.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbKSgZPABkR3Nnjqkn44LM90YnRyFdOiZXjpxr2udAcJxHcq6EDFJFUD_Gl37meIqc3LWutegiuKTqeARk84xoKT8RqExRpAk7idgs85wAXuMfPHFb60UBu9WYaP4QUOLXBh7eOjCXDw8T/s960/FB_IMG_1633686009473_wm_wm.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="652" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbKSgZPABkR3Nnjqkn44LM90YnRyFdOiZXjpxr2udAcJxHcq6EDFJFUD_Gl37meIqc3LWutegiuKTqeARk84xoKT8RqExRpAk7idgs85wAXuMfPHFb60UBu9WYaP4QUOLXBh7eOjCXDw8T/s320/FB_IMG_1633686009473_wm_wm.jpg" width="217" /></a></div><p>From her photos, we understand that she knows many techniques, but she confided to me that only with Endrucks she has learned what Block Tatting is.

She might not have followed my n.22 pattern from 2015, but it was a pleasant surprise to see her models from a couple years back on fb. Her personal printout copy of the book along with her own diagrams is aesthetically spiral bound that you cannot fail to admire every time! </i><br /></p><p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;"><i>When I posted about the cupping dilemma (<a href="https://tipsaroundthehome.blogspot.com/2020/11/d-to-c-cup.html">https://tipsaroundthehome.blogspot.com/2020/11/d-to-c-cup.html</a>) encountered in pattern n.37, she actually tatted a model immediately and shared her tweaked count with me, which I may end up using! She is a true asset to our community project and I certainly wish language wasn’t such a barrier. I cannot thank Ninetta enough for being a worthy linguistic connection.</i><br /></p><p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;"><i>We hope that she collects all her tatted models from Endrucks’ book and permits us to share it in the Project doc.

But there’s no harm in trying to find alternative paths! Just like it happened with pattern n.43, tatted by Maria Grazia, there are only 2 chains that form the “bold” lines, then they can be tatted facing opposite direction, as we normally do in a simple rings and chains pattern. The consequence is that, in this case, it can be worked with one shuttle and ball without the block tatting technique. I prepared a little sample for this alternative, that you can find in the document for the reworked pattern.</p><p>I’ve tatted a short sample, too, that helped me to understand the pattern for preparing the document and I’ve enjoyed it so much, that eventually I ended with a corner and then a little square doily! I have a funny story to tell you, I was tatting this edging while a little girl came near me, quiet at first, staring at me and at my mysterious tool... then after few long seconds without a word from her, she stated: “oh ok, I can see, you are doing a line of teddy bears!” Adorable, sweet girl!</p><p>*********************************</p><p>I’ve been in touch with Consuelo since I first joined Facebook, in Dec 2010, she is a very nice and pretty lady, I remember that she used to be admin of an Italian tatting group that no longer exists. Some years ago, she also tatted all the jewellery worn by models in local fashion shows. She has a personal page where you can admire her tatting, that is here:</p><p> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ibijouxdiconsuelo">https://www.facebook.com/ibijouxdiconsuelo</a><br /></p><p>You will find there, for example, the next unique tights that she designed on request, for a dancer:<br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj427-WJVNwHx1KCi2NxoGuU8uoy1P_T0q5PB-BIdL_U8fHNbH0nWjqGd06T3krAU65YjXnW27IbZDreEPW3E8o4NnQl6ARBfCyj0bcZs-vnILNBdar655Jsgm9DoDuBG_7zw9wdC8trDMv/s1440/2021-07-13_15.19.49.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1440" data-original-width="1440" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj427-WJVNwHx1KCi2NxoGuU8uoy1P_T0q5PB-BIdL_U8fHNbH0nWjqGd06T3krAU65YjXnW27IbZDreEPW3E8o4NnQl6ARBfCyj0bcZs-vnILNBdar655Jsgm9DoDuBG_7zw9wdC8trDMv/s320/2021-07-13_15.19.49.jpg" /></a></div><p>She can also do macramé! I like sharing with you two samples of her macramé work that, just like all her works, it is inspired by her bewitching and mysterious island. The “sun” is inspired by a Sardinian traditional jewel called “corbula”, usually made in gold filigree; then, the starfish is a typical Mediterranean theme.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnC_47poOeM18ueuB2h1sdsvsjh7AjBYgt9prRdlPSxxxK3MZKIN1zQNj9fuzzk0Fq_IHUg_E6UOcdF4EzP-gcX8FW0mlb3Z_bQxETDcuqjiJFsEAoNKDvV8i0tGIKhH_jAaJHbVEQkSh-/s1440/2021-07-13_15.23.53.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1440" data-original-width="1440" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnC_47poOeM18ueuB2h1sdsvsjh7AjBYgt9prRdlPSxxxK3MZKIN1zQNj9fuzzk0Fq_IHUg_E6UOcdF4EzP-gcX8FW0mlb3Z_bQxETDcuqjiJFsEAoNKDvV8i0tGIKhH_jAaJHbVEQkSh-/s320/2021-07-13_15.23.53.jpg" /></a></div><p></p><p>Thank you, Consuelo! <br /></p><p>*********************************<br /><b>Direct link to modern version pdf file for this pattern n.4</b> : <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zQh2jDfisoIx3PLZ84KpVZiwC51AlToe/view">https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zQh2jDfisoIx3PLZ84KpVZiwC51AlToe/view</a><br /></p><p>That is a community project, we welcome every one of you to join in!

Unfortunately, in this moment, it seems that the solution that would be right for my blog exists but they ask me some private sensitive data that I don't want to share (for example my personal snail mail).<br /></p><p>My blog is just a diary for my main hobby, that is tatting, and very few of my other crafts/interests. I learned that email feeds had born principally for marketing and to drive traffic to blogs. I'm so happy that many of you have chosen to follow my blog - "just because!" -, I can't thank you enough, I'm moved by all the interest in my invisible tiny tatting. You all are in my heart. I had never imagined that after 7 years and half of blogging I would have had nearly 900,000 visits... and I can't believe that I've been blogging for so long! Also, thanks to you all, you have been my teachers in turn and I've learned a lot during these years! Thank you very much, dear tatters!<br /></p><p>For the moment, I'm very very sorry that I can't offer you an alternative for the automatic email subscription, except than inviting you to follow my personal profile in Facebook, where I will share any of my future blog updates.</p><p>Little rounded motifs, my own pattern, diameter 3cm, thread is DMC Special Dentelles, size 80. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXm4WOJxFar8YJ5FB8uWA6-MNruue8BLjJ7O0RXZL29tQSpJ9J0tzYikctBJriWOCXaR7YraGph_WkFY6K7Dmn-nwzJQm1_-Ju_O37xMGSblm673StmdIlOKDCKAAzJTtgV3ACmXnapGB8/s1023/20210330_160519_wm.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1023" data-original-width="1023" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXm4WOJxFar8YJ5FB8uWA6-MNruue8BLjJ7O0RXZL29tQSpJ9J0tzYikctBJriWOCXaR7YraGph_WkFY6K7Dmn-nwzJQm1_-Ju_O37xMGSblm673StmdIlOKDCKAAzJTtgV3ACmXnapGB8/s320/20210330_160519_wm.jpg" /></a></div>Ciao,<p>Ninetta. <br /></p><p><br /></p>Ninettahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11490235424409961150noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2747867141756695770.post-23957404715490984272021-06-01T16:00:00.043+02:002021-07-18T20:12:43.960+02:00co-learning<p>Well, that’s not the season but I nearly spot a crib there, even with its star on, LOL!

It is pattern #25 in the Endrucks' 1920 book, based on the #24.<p></p><p>She is a nice, sweet person, prompt to help and generous, drawn by her lively curiosity for tatting challenges. </p><p>She doesn’t blog but she's not new to us, in fact I already met her last year, when she posted in Facebook her version of the tatted beaded rope, and then I blogged about it here <a href="https://ninettacaruso.blogspot.com/2019/11/a-matter-of-joints.html">https://ninettacaruso.blogspot.com/2019/11/a-matter-of-joints.html</a>. </p><p>We had another opportunity to become better tatting friends when she shared a picture of her clean filet tatting and gave to Muskaan and me the permission to post it, done in Muskaan’s blog, where there are also links to other methods for filet tatting: <a href="https://tipsaroundthehome.blogspot.com/2020/07/splitting-mesh.html">https://tipsaroundthehome.blogspot.com/2020/07/splitting-mesh.html</a>.</p><p>Elisabetta taught us then, but she told us that Endruck’s project taught something to her, too. In fact, she said that this was her first time in drawing diagrams. She did a wonderful job, you would not suspect that she is a newbie!</p><p>The next, it is her tatting for the pattern #35:<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTWJrXrb4zqjRH556tNbRXCQmy7c6m6YqaOieqi83IVPBEuvkcMG91facYPJ6smAhvQ7Sx-QkoSxT17qlcqhT9ibesxxP-LKJpJfd3VZ3OOuRunR4zjyAM7JM-HsTz4B-dzCEUfCsNsWct/s2048/Endrucks+1920+n35_w.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTWJrXrb4zqjRH556tNbRXCQmy7c6m6YqaOieqi83IVPBEuvkcMG91facYPJ6smAhvQ7Sx-QkoSxT17qlcqhT9ibesxxP-LKJpJfd3VZ3OOuRunR4zjyAM7JM-HsTz4B-dzCEUfCsNsWct/s320/Endrucks+1920+n35_w.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p>This pattern is on my to-do-list, too. Hopefully, all patterns will be tested, sooner or later. Actually, I’m wondering if the nice slight zig-zag movement can be enhanced, or it is just because her tatting hasn’t been blocked yet. It looks straight in the old model, but all tatting in those old pictures looks very stretched.</p><p>Another pattern re-worked by Elisabetta is the number #18b, that is also part of the #18, currently under work by Muskaan, it will be shared soon in her blog. Here it is the sample tatted with metallic thread, sent by Elisabetta for the #18b standalone: <br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi25MR6SAs-Q1zgBPko-YMMUClgQ9zwh8QSwC1YjOP2jQtReA6-4ue87wo_6UcCsP5-GPQe5-73coKESwg8Ph6QVIocZ8Zaaz0sUGmHA181em_91r9VJT3OBjQqcbFyusJAuywx66USidHT/s2520/20201106_154539_w.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1248" data-original-width="2520" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi25MR6SAs-Q1zgBPko-YMMUClgQ9zwh8QSwC1YjOP2jQtReA6-4ue87wo_6UcCsP5-GPQe5-73coKESwg8Ph6QVIocZ8Zaaz0sUGmHA181em_91r9VJT3OBjQqcbFyusJAuywx66USidHT/s320/20201106_154539_w.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>I would love it as a necklace with pearls and sparkling miyuki. <p></p><p>(I’m not fully sure but) Elisabetta tatted all her samples with two shuttles.</p><p>Direct links to modern version pdf files:<br /> Pattern n.18b <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1l1Pv4ZBB7pCW-He7Cog6sfVBVb7zxf5e/view">https://drive.google.com/file/d/1l1Pv4ZBB7pCW-He7Cog6sfVBVb7zxf5e/view</a><br /> Pattern n.25 <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/19rR3fDG_ZHO9imf-EuPQO9dSd531UZl4/view">https://drive.google.com/file/d/19rR3fDG_ZHO9imf-EuPQO9dSd531UZl4/view</a><br /> Pattern n.35 <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eILLQpaC4KYO1seds20zejjkwvhBgF9I/view">https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eILLQpaC4KYO1seds20zejjkwvhBgF9I/view</a><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁<br /></p><p>This project is co-learning in the true sense.

Many patterns have already served as inspiration to create even more lovely tatting! I love Anna Tedesco's nice description of the derivative patterns as "Endrucks' children", then the further derivatives of those, she calls them "Endrucks' grandchildren"!</p><p>Muskaan and I are very grateful for all the enthusiasm, collaboration and inspiration that is going around this international project!

I tatted it as part of the "Endrucks 1920 Project", that
is an international collaborative endeavour, with volunteer tatters
presenting Frau Endrucks’ patterns in modern format, compiled here:

book) in modern step-by-step pictures and/or numbers on pictures, that is a great help in recreating the old tatting patterns, that otherwise would be very difficult to follow, if you only look at the the old text and diagrams. </p><p>Thank you very much, Pina! </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkR_QS0RUBAI9JKsU2ejhLYofvudmCwfItIiQJ5uNA_az5nzjjll1hvg3Pmq6og9s0BrMNb1xRtlHGbCaHuY1-LUtxd_AoUCnd0vK7DokkWZIb0y-2cFh9n2KT2OVpsxzcHm_ECXgsc-q0/s912/20210313_163320_wm_wm_wm.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="912" data-original-width="684" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkR_QS0RUBAI9JKsU2ejhLYofvudmCwfItIiQJ5uNA_az5nzjjll1hvg3Pmq6og9s0BrMNb1xRtlHGbCaHuY1-LUtxd_AoUCnd0vK7DokkWZIb0y-2cFh9n2KT2OVpsxzcHm_ECXgsc-q0/s320/20210313_163320_wm_wm_wm.jpg" /></a></div><p></p><p>Her contribute has been very useful to think about some details, like that one underlined in the n.15 above. The pencil lines indicate where she changed direction of chains and that is different from the original old pattern. The tatting starts on the left in the picture, those chains face in opposite direction, and to obtain that effect we need a change of direction and a picot in the same point. </p><p>In general, in some models, Endrucks avoided holding a picot on the core thread. We may like more symmetry than what tatters used to like in the past and
in that case we need a chain with a drop picot or a picot held with
paperclip.</p><p>I remember now that, to change direction, I've learnt another way to do it, in place of using a clip, when I tatted the mystery
doily:<br />
- leave a small picot,<br />
- first half,<br />
- one complete ds,<br />
- reverse work, adjust last ds and continue the chain.<br />
That worked for me. <br /></p><p>In the next picture, there is only part of the pattern n.16. I can see it like a big earring, with beads, tatted with metallic thread! If only I wear big earrings!<br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn596g9nKMLrbpgOTKZ1hD_DL9IoKa2zXh1sju7rN-2E6ihArZferIXaK62AH8puD5a4mYPHdhvpLGB-_GNNnwuQ8i9jC-8HfvrP9XUmrEx4cNyJH7z1wKSbuGaVGfA7qNcrA8WKFslsfl/s1024/received_740404476833158_wm_wm_wm.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="773" data-original-width="1024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn596g9nKMLrbpgOTKZ1hD_DL9IoKa2zXh1sju7rN-2E6ihArZferIXaK62AH8puD5a4mYPHdhvpLGB-_GNNnwuQ8i9jC-8HfvrP9XUmrEx4cNyJH7z1wKSbuGaVGfA7qNcrA8WKFslsfl/s320/received_740404476833158_wm_wm_wm.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p>Direct links to (modern version) pdf files:</p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Pattern n.9 <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PqjueNxlEDy9qY25iH_lw_hQdWAHtMTO/view">https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PqjueNxlEDy9qY25iH_lw_hQdWAHtMTO/view</a></li><li>Pattern n.15 <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hl1EuK-E7tChkL4OsohWjtGLafhp7hcY/view">https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hl1EuK-E7tChkL4OsohWjtGLafhp7hcY/view</a><br /></li><li>Pattern n.16 <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MuZTviUxkdBoz24xXglcn7wbO1rHuhm8/view" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" shape="rect" target="_blank">https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MuZTviUxkdBoz24xXglcn7wbO1rHuhm8/view</a><br /></li></ul><p></p><p>We've had her help also for a fourth pattern (the number 17 in the old book), that will be available soon. </p><p>That is a community project, we welcome everyone of you to join in!

for example in the case of my heart, she suggested to remove the top
center from the prototype. That was a great idea! The heart is now a lot
better! <br /></p><p>Also, the heart was asking me for something inside that empty space, so I thought that hearts and flowers always go well together, that is why I've added the yellow flower.</p><p>In the next there are my step-to-step pictures for Muskaan's heart (that is exactly as explained in her instructions at page 4):<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj28zgjosRbWfpwxLxKT4KZ86RAtSbwm1w2g-dgT8qH-cGTpZ0INrh4hUV1KxWhBdFg4pnsU_xem6mWREY1B5EPFsAIxm84o_ss4e7wQzJxEl_4ERKRTTY31jqa0lBAFeOL-8HiNSWBFwmC/s1024/20210212_172116_wm.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1023" data-original-width="1024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj28zgjosRbWfpwxLxKT4KZ86RAtSbwm1w2g-dgT8qH-cGTpZ0INrh4hUV1KxWhBdFg4pnsU_xem6mWREY1B5EPFsAIxm84o_ss4e7wQzJxEl_4ERKRTTY31jqa0lBAFeOL-8HiNSWBFwmC/s320/20210212_172116_wm.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKEL-K182_s0zu7CRDC1rXVacQxnEqvXa7Nw8PagFeFI0ChBgStGMOU95xIGRBZkk8WyEYvM5IRMQq7C7Yzbr_XT2YdSqjtOHOLVApJTbxQzdw4BIldnxQ_10d6WoX_alaZSix3gzuyvZB/s1024/20210212_172126_wm.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="1024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKEL-K182_s0zu7CRDC1rXVacQxnEqvXa7Nw8PagFeFI0ChBgStGMOU95xIGRBZkk8WyEYvM5IRMQq7C7Yzbr_XT2YdSqjtOHOLVApJTbxQzdw4BIldnxQ_10d6WoX_alaZSix3gzuyvZB/s320/20210212_172126_wm.jpg" /></a></div>I especially love how she passed from block1 to block 2, that is with a first half ds folloved by a picot (pic 5), that minimizes the space between the two blocks.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuBCZLq5wWj-QrQlThY3-qHn3RqkHkGpI8Kq6JvD6DLBXqG7674PGLzq7IiB6bSCCKZUb-sLp7wutPVfsopcLmWai1hf4icqEzYLD8G6eyqa40Wjp8QTLpWM9gKQgNmZo3b_Uy7JSsErh6/s1024/20210212_172135_wm.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1022" data-original-width="1024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuBCZLq5wWj-QrQlThY3-qHn3RqkHkGpI8Kq6JvD6DLBXqG7674PGLzq7IiB6bSCCKZUb-sLp7wutPVfsopcLmWai1hf4icqEzYLD8G6eyqa40Wjp8QTLpWM9gKQgNmZo3b_Uy7JSsErh6/s320/20210212_172135_wm.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>It's a very clever use of block tatting.

The floating ring in the bottom can be done as a mock ring, otherwise you will need the second shuttle just for tatting that only one suspended ring.<br />The yellow flower is tatted as a separate element. I suggest to tat the flower first and then attach it while tatting the heart, but in my pictures I did the flower at the end. The bead in the center of the flower has been sewed.</p><p>- = picots - they are all small

"Grazia" is "grace" so I'd the idea to title this post like that! Also grace means elegance, that is what I think looking at this lovely pattern. <br /></p><p>I started from the original diagram and stitch count. But I changed the starting point, in fact in the original, the edging starts with a chain in the point indicated by the white arrows. In this way, also the direction of the two chains under the big rings changes (they will face opposite direction and not the same direction as in block tatting).<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieqCg1d2lq1cRkX_kBECHgWaOfKdko0m5ECPt1KY8RlMnV4Dy32HYHlT-mEKZ2fR3fY3MhwUu6gO4xLrJxKSTSHl48QcsYK2qSPbbuH6Qxl6wTgz5wqDz1MQKskicHv4yTbZ7kKG8vlDgL/s1022/20210120_153618.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1022" data-original-width="1022" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieqCg1d2lq1cRkX_kBECHgWaOfKdko0m5ECPt1KY8RlMnV4Dy32HYHlT-mEKZ2fR3fY3MhwUu6gO4xLrJxKSTSHl48QcsYK2qSPbbuH6Qxl6wTgz5wqDz1MQKskicHv4yTbZ7kKG8vlDgL/s320/20210120_153618.jpg" /></a></div><p> That in next picture it is the original diagram from the 1920 book:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYG83oEpl1NFJa7HkviJRIUy3nNw9_AXGXAF_h82XO48pLIgxhHgiAS1gkbH-8dh_0WfwyYz6TSSL6Pbmv8xCOb2bCh8G6gfivBqSz3jlQtk5FODZpL202WtKJbiDCqClwhkdQp8zoi9EJ/s860/original+43.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="606" data-original-width="860" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYG83oEpl1NFJa7HkviJRIUy3nNw9_AXGXAF_h82XO48pLIgxhHgiAS1gkbH-8dh_0WfwyYz6TSSL6Pbmv8xCOb2bCh8G6gfivBqSz3jlQtk5FODZpL202WtKJbiDCqClwhkdQp8zoi9EJ/s320/original+43.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p>It was my intention to draw it again and put it in Flickr, in time for this post, but lately I had little time.

Split rings are 10ds on both sides (red and yellow thread), that is: 10ds on the normal stitch side, then 10ds on the reversed stitch side. <br /></p><p>I started the split ring. Then the side with normal stitches temporarily stops at the middle point (I tatted 5ds) and I tatted half of the second side (5rs, reverse order). </p><p>At this point I added the bead, in this way: on the second side of the split ring, make the second half stitch unflipped (first pic on the upper left), pick a bead and put it on the loop formed by the leg of that half stitch.</p><p>(That is very similar to what I shared for normal rings in one drawing here: <a href="https://flic.kr/p/mTMZeB">https://flic.kr/p/mTMZeB</a> , but in that case the loop is joined to the core thread in a different way)<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2ajXThhsb0Qp6H4JdJoMUUhHbZ7hMnf_sOApppAgZFLf7UX9kRBzFLVg989A57gDZKFXS3srvbqZekVo4xRfX-kirYV-X8mWFH5-jx4Np1bro9c2_-lJ9bTkkFb-be5UPwBO_ch9lzPpn/s1024/2021-01-09_18.41.12_wm.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="1024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2ajXThhsb0Qp6H4JdJoMUUhHbZ7hMnf_sOApppAgZFLf7UX9kRBzFLVg989A57gDZKFXS3srvbqZekVo4xRfX-kirYV-X8mWFH5-jx4Np1bro9c2_-lJ9bTkkFb-be5UPwBO_ch9lzPpn/s320/2021-01-09_18.41.12_wm.jpg" /></a></div>Then, I passed the core shuttle thread through the loop pulled from the bead, then I continued with the rest of the first side of the split ring.

It is in Italian (actually I don't know if they are working for a translation too) but there are many clear drawings that are very easy to follow. It is a book for tatters at any level. It's a "big" book, 128 pages, it contains 15 patterns and instructions for tatting many variations. Also, there are diagrams for how using the method of the "magic square" to adapt it also for edgings and different shapes that only squares. That's something that you can't find elsewhere in the Tatternet!</p><p>The book is available here:</p><p><a href="https://corradotedeschieditore.com/it/home/662-il-mio-libro-dei-quadrati-magici-a-chiacchierino.html">https://corradotedeschieditore.com/it/home/662-il-mio-libro-dei-quadrati-magici-a-chiacchierino.html</a></p><p>Ciao,</p><p>Ninetta</p>Ninettahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11490235424409961150noreply@blogger.com4
