Eleonore, that's difficult!
Despite the name of my blog, it happens that a pattern can be difficult, for many reasons: the stitch count is not easy to memorize, the direction of work changes often, tension is an issue, switch shuttles is needed but not clear where... Or all these together!
Eleonore put me on test. I'm not yet sure that I gave it justice. The red and ocher is already finished, I added a tail and it's about to go live alone, in one of my mum's book. You can start CTM, all one colour, but I chose to tat it in two colours to better follow the pattern. Thread is DMC Special Dentelles size 80. The pattern is the #24 in the "Schiffchen-Spitzen" book, by Eleonore Endrucks, from 1920, it is available here: http://www.georgiaseitz.com/public/publicindex.html
I've uploaded my diagram in Flickr (click to see a better image):
As in previous two edgings, there is block tatting and thrown off rings, that makes it a 2-shuttles pattern. In the original, as far as I understood and tatted, the first corner of the block tatting is done simply switching shuttles, then tat 1 ds, leave a very small picot and go on. The whole pattern is completed after a finishing external round, only chains, and I regret not having left another very small picot after the point where I switched shuttles, becouse I could have better joined the outer round.
In next picture, one of those corners is pointed by the blue arrow:
Next is a bracelet, with metallic Sanbest thread, 3 strands, color is a gold-pink hue, number 133. The coloured swarovski beads, that you can see in the first picture above, are only laid on top. I still don't know how to add a clasp, I think that I need a wide type of clasp, but at the moment I haven't any at home.

encapsulating
The strawberry in Italian is "fragola", that comes directly from latin, in fact it is the diminutive (in grammar) "fragula" from the plural latin word "fraga" (strawberries, source www.treccani.it).
Basic instructions: http://www.georgiaseitz.com/2003/encap/encap.html
Stems in the "mediterranean tatting diet" bookmark are made by encapsulating all tails with series of second half stitches, making the "Z" chain (http://www.georgiaseitz.com/setstitch.html). There isn't a proper pattern for this. Length must be adapted to your taste and thread's thickness.
I tatted the last leaf, I didn't cut the thread coming from the shuttle, then took other two leaves and put together in a bunch the long tails left. With the shuttle in my right hand and the bunch of threads in the left hand (stretched), I tatted unflipped second half stitches.
With the long tail left from the calyx, in the same way (shuttle in right hand and threads in left hand), I tatted 2nd half stitches to make a short stem for the fruit. I did the same also for flowers. That because I didn't want fruit and flowers directly attached on the main stem, but that was just my choice.
Back side for the strawberry:
Back side for flowers:
I suggest to follow your style to put all elements together. Be creative.
Tip: there's many ends to deal with, also different lengths, so I attached shuttles one for each tail with a weaver's knot, to have a bundle.
At the end, I finished with a tassel, in this way:
I didn't cut the shuttle's thread, not yet. With the same shuttle, I tatted 3 little rings around the end of the "Z" chain. The stiches' count for this rings must be adapted to the thickness of the bunch of threads. Ends coming from the "Z" chain were split in two, then I added another bunch of short threads (about 12cm) and tied them in the middle with two ends from the "Z" chain, very close to the end of the chain. This bunch of short threads and the ends coming from the chain were folded in half and blocked with a ring, tatted with the same shuttle I used for the chain (leave a short bare thread to create the tassel's appearance). Again, the stiches' count for this rings must be adapted to the thickness of the bunch of threads. I made 3 rings of 14ds and left a long tail (about 6cm).
Comb and trim the tassel.
Phew! This long post has been very difficult for me, all these English words and very few pictures! I hope I didn't forget anything, otherwise tell me off!
What can I do with this second one? A present, for sure!

edible flowers
That is someone can eat flowers, except these one in cotton, that may result a bit indigestible.
Actually in our diet we have flowers, like courgettes' flowers, artichokes, chamomile, saffron, broccoli, capers... Strawberry, botanically, it isn't a proper fruit but it's called "accessory fruit" and I've learnt that blossoms are edible and leaves are edible as well! OK, that's good to know, but I'd rather wait for the sweet red pulp!
I used the magic trick to hide the tail in each yellow ring, but I left long tails at the end of green and pink rounds. Start green round joining at one yellow picot. It's better starting pink round joining the next yellow picot after that one (chosen start for green).
I hope you like my version of the flower, enjoy!
Additional tips from Muskaan about her tatted leaf (pattern is in previous post) can be found here: http://tipsaroundthehome.blogspot.com/2016/05/tat-alongs-and-common-threads.html
Another tip from my side is that instead of using a clip, to change direction, I also tried something I've learnt when I tatted the mystery doily, that is
- leave a small picot,
- first half,
- one complete ds,
- reverse work, adjust last ds and continue the chain.
That worked for me.
... And that is for the sake of curiosity, I worked directional tatting, except for the pointed chain in the leaf, where I used my way to tat it, holding the second shuttle in my right hand. Jon's way and my way are just 2 ways to make the same knot. In my drawing I have in the right hand the SH2 shuttle, like in direct tatting. In the left hand I have the core thread. The knot is tied by the working thread over the core thread, exactly the same knot. It is the same movement done with thread around the needle in Puncetto lace. Not my invention. At that time, it was summer 2010, I taught myself the basis of "puncetto valsesiano" lace and discovered that I could speed my work (I'm very slow with the needle) with the help of the shuttle. I was doing a hanky. It looked to me like roll tatting, but it doesn't unravel, then I thought to use it in place of normal chains or mock rings, I didn't think to use it for changing the shape of the chain, that was Jon's clever idea. My experiments were shared at the end of 2010 in flickr:
My last tatted piece for the bookmark was one leaf, that is because I used one shuttle loaded with green (coming from that leaf) to encapsulate tails coming from two of the other tatted leaves... But I tell you next week.

yet another leaf - yet another butterfly
That's just another tatted leaf, as there're many and lovely tatted leaves. But if you compare this pattern with the strawberry's pattern, you surely notice that they are almost the same! I loved playing with split rings!
You see there's 3 puncetto knots in my pattern, that it's exactly the same knot described by Jon here:
http://tatsaway.blogspot.com/2011/06/pointed-chain.html
She had that clever intuition to use that knot for making the chain pointed! Thank you very much, Jon!
I tat that Puncetto knot in this way (drawing): https://flic.kr/p/9Cbk3R

Pattern for a Butterfly with Ikuta's picots.
If you like learning what picots I am talking about, please go to Muskaan's blog, here: http://tipsaroundthehome.blogspot.com/2016/05/trials-and-jubilation.html
Many thanks to her for clarifying the theoretical part and for helping me to find a notation for this pattern.
All rings' loops are with SH1. Always tat normal ds with SH1. In my pic, the yellow thread is SH1, yellow segments are normal ds in a ring, the white thread is tatted like in a chain, white segments are normal ds in a chain.
R1: 3-3-3-3-3-3, 1 p 4
R2 (inner ring): 8 p 8
R3: 4+(join to R1) 1-3-3-3-1, JSS(join to R2). 1-3-3-3------, 1 p 4
R4 (inner ring): 8 p 8
R5: 4+(join to R3) 1-3-3-3-1, JSS(join to R4), 1-3-3-3, 1 p 4
R6: 4+(join to R5) 1-3-3-3-3-3, 3
(Post updated to amend an oversight, sorry!)
Tie and cut (hide ends).
Cut the very long faux picot in half and make a knot at tip of each antenna.

ready?
Thank you very much for your last comments, I loved all suggestions I had for using the thread left in shuttles.
About that cheap shuttles, I'm content for now, they work good and I don't care to use the nail file if that helps me to save money for buying threads!
About the "mediterranean tatting diet": ready and finished, it was yummy! But you will see it after few posts about the pattern. I was ready to start the bookmark only when I tatted all these pieces:
That was less than what I tatted for the first version last year (at that time I picked only selected fruit for the lunch), in fact I had 3 versions of the strawberry, 2 for leaves and 2 for flowers and some failures. Then arrives that moment, when you slap your forehead with your palm. I found a funny dictionary online, no - sorry - it's a serious one, where they explain what a "facepalm index" is. Link is here: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=facepalm%20index
If that was applied to my tatting design moments, I would get an FPI around 3, not bad though :-)
That is the pattern for the strawberry (2 versions) and calyx. Let me know if it's clear. I'll put it in flickr, too.

Dianna
I loved tatting this bookmark, one among few I know, that really ask for 3 shuttles to be tatted. Another one it is a beautiful snowflake designed by Teiko Fujito, lately tatted by Carollyn, you can see it in her blog: http://tennbrown.blogspot.it/2015/08/japanese-tatting-with-3-shuttles.html.
This pattern is called "Dianna", by Mimi Dillman. It was very short with my size 80 thread, so I added some more flowers. Sorry Mrs Dillman, I hope you like it!
Thanks to her, when I found her photos in 2010(here: http://home.netcom.com/~ntrop/cluny/instructsplit.htm), I learnt how to tat clunies.
UPDATE link for instructions: http://mimidillman.com/tutorials/tatting-cluny-leaves-by-hand/
Pattern is free: http://home.netcom.com/~ntrop/mimi/dianna.html
UPDATE: link to the pattern: http://mimidillman.com/patterns/bookmark-dianna/
Another reason to go with this pattern it is that I followed all posts by Muskaan about clunies and there was something that I wanted to try. In particular, I liked what she calls "One Small Step behind the scenes", I think it's effective in reducing the twist of the loop. I do a finger loom, then I pass the loom shuttle into the loop just after I finished the leaf.
What is coming next? An hint: look at the upper side of the picture, I needed a bookmark for that page... May you recognize the book? Layered rings emerge from time to time into old books.

photo-finish
This month I've been really distracted by edgings, but I love tatting them so it was an easy distraction. My personal challenge to tat a bookmark per month, this time must be achieved with a ready-to-go pattern, nothing original. A new brand pattern requires at least 2 weeks for me, 1 (or 2) fully dedicated to find the inspiration and to test tatting, one week to tat the final "thing".
Also, if thread is Lizbeth size 80, I would need an extra dose of patience!
I finished it, just in time with the end of this month!! Now it should be ironed and captured!

july is finished
Another pic: do you recognize the similar pattern from Mrs Odum's daisy?
This is the back:
Love those colors together, they are similar to colors of this flower that I bought, but sorry I can't remember its name:
I'd also like showing a panorama, in the back you can see the Gran Sasso mountain, the highest in the center of Italy. It's taken from a place used to be populated till 1960s, then emptied for emigration and a lot of house ruined because people never came back.

solution or pollution?
Hand-made tatting pollution, I mean, with a massive help by scissors - but eventually the solution came...
I loved Muskaan's saga on curled rings: every curled ring alternative has been unfolded (part of which ignored by the designer herself) and intriguing hypothesis rolled out.
She mentioned that a curled ring must be sized to be curled, she's right, in fact a ring smaller than 20ds it'd be difficult to fold. But the "why-not" question, about how to curl little 6-6 rings, was intriguing.
I've played around little rings without a clear direction or pattern in mind, it seemed they were really too little to be folded.
And the "what-if" actually came from tatting with beads, how they can be placed in the thread round the hand and trapped at the base of a ring.
A lot of trials and errors this time! But if at first you don't succeed, try and try again. Even Lizbeth teased me! They 've made a weaver's knot in one strand... (thread is size 80, Lizbeth colour 122 and yellow dmc colour 744) Sigh! Anyway it's a tatting game, I love it.
I only have to hide and cut ends and it's finished.
So, I'm happy with my new bookmark-of-the-month and with the 3D curled effect too. What can I do, I can't help producing tatting pollution...
Ciao,
Ninetta
P.S. I tested my new celtic tatting shuttles but it's been wasted more of size 80 thread. The thin shuttle is not so thin to pass even through a 32ds ring. It asked for a second attempt with thicker thread. Solution or pollution again?

A lot of fresh vegetables, flowers and fruits. It's healthy, enjoyable and relaxing.
That's splitted, folded, curled, rolled, encapsulated and tatted up. Now I'd better finish my 3 WIPs!

tips off and top-secrets
I'm a follower of Muskaan's T*I*P*S blog, and you can imagine how happy I was, reading that she found the time to play with those curled - or folded - rings that I showed in my previous post.
I finished the bookmark of the month, tatted in dmc size 80 thread.
I wonder how it would have been tatting without so many people that generously share their work online. I've learned a lot from online classes, videos, sites, blogs... A big hug to all my web-teachers!
There're a lot of wonderful laces almost disappeared now, just because who could work it didn't share it.
I found an amazing site with a little known type of needle lace, hungarian, named "Halas Lace".
It's gorgeous, impressive, and .. oh well, you can add many more pretty adjectives, if you have a look at this site:
www.halasicsipke.hu
What captured my attention was a phrase that I found in this site:
http://budapestbug.tumblr.com/post/42497589258/a-lace-worthing-more-than-gold-halas-lace-of
"The needlework of Halas Lace is top secret; only a few, eleven in number, women and girls in Kiskunhalas know it at all times."
Eleven!!!

put the right way up
Sorry, don't fret.
I don't want me to appear impudent if I say that this tatting has a back side... It isn't FS/BS tatting, in case you're wondering. If it happened, it was absolutely unintentional.

I've been designing another bookmark, if you scroll down you will find it, finished. The coloured spool in the picture is the second gift I had from Maria, it's 100% cotton, too much soft for tatting, Venne Colcoton Multicolour. I web-surfing and found an amazing site, where it's shown miniature knitting made using that type of yarn: Miniature Knitting by Helena Bleeker
In the background, there are some dmc balls that I picked together to make up my mind to start Tomoko Morimoto's doily. I'm still dithering. I should wait for available Lizbeth size 80 (colour 131) in Italy (it seems only size 20 and 40 are arrived up to my country) to finish Anne Orr's large centerpiece, so I need another distraction to fiddle with!
I love learning new English words, it helps me to be as close as possible to what really I am like. Mother-tongue language is the flow of your thoughts, a second language is the attempt to be honestly you.
I discovered that yesterday (February 21) was also "the 15th anniversary of the UNESCO declaration of International Mother Language Day". So I've been "googling" around about machine translators and I found an interesting video in this site (that reinforce my firm belief that it's a sort of blender) :
But I love google translator! I had a comment in Vietnamese last week, I met a thai sweet lady and I chatted with a so kind polish friend, both in FB. A Korean follower has her own blog (http://2sunb.blog.me/) and I've become her follower. How could I've ever done any of this, without my dear trans-mixer?
