One of the crochet students brought some information on needle tattingto class and was interested in trying it. I have spent more time than I should have looking for tatting needles and have had no luck at all. I thought Joann's or Micheal's would surely carry them but they don't. Needle tatting will not be offered with shuttle tatting at this time!!!
My dog sweaters are really turning out nice. I have finished the ones for Precious and Teddy, the one for Precious has an embroidered saying on it and that was much harder than I expected. The embroidery was freehand and I need a pattern.
I finished Bloodroot by Susan Wattig Albert and just loved it. It is so different from most murder mysteries. Actually, I have enjoyed all her books so far.
The class is tonight, they opted to knit rather than party for Halloween, are they my soulmates or what!

The delicate art of tatting
This will be the first tatting project for the class. We will be starting after the first of the year and I hope there is enough interest to proceed. I want to try a tatted necklace with beads next, they are similar to the necklaces that are so popular right now so want to see how they turn out. I also want to make a tatted snowflake for following class project. The knitting projects are doing quite nicely, I will have some lambs for my next posting. The Central Point Parks and Recreation knitting group is meeting here tonight. We can't meet Friday because several have conflicts. We are calling ourselves the "Twisted Stitchers" from a comment one of them made as I was explaining about twisting the stitches.
Obviously, I haven't been reading very much. Right now I am reading the Hippotamus Pool by Elizabeth Peters but have barely started it.
