During the winter holidays I picked up my shuttles and tatted a simple snowflake
It felt pretty good so I started a bigger project. I've been wanting to do another stocking. So, over the last six months I've been slowly tatting a combined edge for another holiday stocking. Here is the process and the progress.
Now all there is to do is wash, block, and attach it.
Although I think the tendonitis has healed, the elbow still feels a bit tender. Therefore, I've been going slowly. Each day I tat for about 1/2 hour. Not enough...but enough.
In other news.... the year past has been full of good things. I turned 50. Still can't believe the time has passed. We have wonderful neighbors who helped celebrate and are always so gracious. Here is the evidence.... an impromptu surprise party.
I hope I've been bitten by the tatting bug again because I've missed the tatting community. It feels good to be in touch with y'all once again.
Until the next entry,
Peace!
John
Hey I had the same problem and there are really nice You tube videos on how to find the almond size muscle to relieve the pain in the elbow it is worth checking out and it really does heal you along with really good hand stretches I use to wear special gloves and I don't any more and tat all the time. Love your tatting it is always nice to see all the posts are great!
ReplyDeleteLove some Youtube! I'll be looking.
DeleteJohn? John who?
ReplyDeleteWell! It is good to see you are back in the shuttle. Tendonitis can be awful. I had it for about six months a few years ago. Nasty, but it eventually heals.
Great looking stocking.

Thanks! The pattern is a combination of several. I really enjoy combining patterns to make the thicker edging.
