crescendo - part V - and other WIPs

This is only another rough idea, I thought about increasing the height of the tds but I had little success. In the next picture, there are 3 groups with 3 tds, but in the second tds the picot is a wee bit bigger and then rolls 5 times, the third again is a little bigger than the previous and rolls 7 times.

The first part of the tds is always the same, that is:

• Start with a very small picot and one double stitch. 
• Laying the picot across the ball thread and pull up a loop of thread through the picot. 
• Then, take another loop of the ball thread and pull it through the previous loop.
• Now slip the shuttle through the loop thus formed. Don't tighten it, yet. 
• Take a loop of the core thread in the ring finger, then pass the shuttle from back to front, through the loop, 3 times.
• Tighten the ball thread and don't let the core thread slip out of place. 
• Then, pull the core thread.

Second tds:

• Start with a normal picot and one double stitch. 
• Laying the picot across the ball thread and pull up a loop of thread through the picot. 
• Then, take another loop of the ball thread and pull it through the previous loop.
• Now slip the shuttle through the loop thus formed. Don't tighten it, yet. 
• Take a loop of the core thread in the ring finger, then pass the shuttle from back to front, through the loop,  5 times
• Tighten the ball thread and don't let the core thread slip out of place. 
• Then, pull the core thread.

Third tds:

• Start with a picot a little higher than previous tds and one double stitch. 
• Laying the picot across the ball thread and pull up a loop of thread through the picot. 
• Then, take another loop of the ball thread and pull it through the previous loop.
• Now slip the shuttle through the loop thus formed. Don't tighten it, yet. 
• Take a loop of the core thread in the ring finger, then pass the shuttle from back to front, through the loop,  7 times
• Tighten the ball thread and don't let the core thread slip out of place. 
• Then, pull the core thread.

I can't go further.

I designed another little motif, this time it is a triangular one. I confess I already shared this with Muskaan (muskaan's T*I*P*S), last week I sent her a close up picture and she's a very talented tatter, she could count my stitches and replicated it in a nanosecond! So, for I haven't written down the pattern yet, you bet she has my full permission to post her stitches' count in her blog! Thank you, Muskaan!

UPDATE: link to the pattern for this triangle: http://tipsaroundthehome.blogspot.com/2018/07/treble-with-m.html

I also have other WIPs started, I hope I will stay committed and finish something, sooner or later!
One is "Star Pattern in Tatting for a Chair or Sofa Tidy" by Mrs. Eliza Warren, a pattern from 1868, but I've changed it to have all motifs connected by split rings, instead of many little squared motifs. That is what I did till now:

The second old old pattern that I'm tatting is the modernised version by Ruth Perry of the "narrow edging" in Riego Royal Tatting book, 1864, that one where a real chain appeared for the first time, with clear instructions. The link to the renewed pattern is here:
http://tat-calendar.blogspot.com/search?q=riego+edging+15 , I found it easily, thanks to the hard work of sweet tatters who shares their time and knowledge in Craftree. 

That will be an edging for the fan, I haven't decided yet for attaching it to the fabric or if I tat more rounds that would substitute the fabric.

Ciao,
Ninetta

magic square - and AOB

Here it is the square, I'm almost there

Details and pattern are here: the chain does the trick 
The pattern for the little box, that I use as a container for the measuring tape, is by Nancy Tracy, it is here: http://www.be-stitched.com/free-tatting-patterns-3/tatted-box/

I circled with the red line a mistake, that I found too late, a miscounted chain. I called Dr. Downplay again and he assured me that nobody is going to see it 😱😱😱😱😱😱 but me...

Then, here it is the AOB ("any other business") part:

I started another little project, just to have fun. I'm planning another thread, maybe a coloured one, and I think to tat it in a squared shape. In the next picture my first sample with DMC white size 80, pattern is from page 57 of a very old book, by Mrs. Warren from 1868, link is here: http://www.antiquepatternlibrary.org/pub/PDF/C-GS001Warren.pdf

I changed the old pattern a little, substituting some rings with split rings, so that a "magic pathway" appeared. I will share a drawing soon, I hope.

The bracelet with zoliduo beads is very close to become an UFO, I can't find it, I'm sure I put it in the "here-where-I-will-find-it" place. We always have such a place, you know!

And here it is my net, it restarted after a winter hiding behind the kitchen's door, I hope to finish it for the end of the summer:

I'm happy to share with you beautiful photos, too. My DH heard my whines for the "very old" smartphone (6 years) I had and the other day he came home with a present: the new one is great for taking perfect photos of my tatting and flowers, that I love!
