Motif # 2

Have you noticed that some patterns are nice and easy to work and some seem like such a struggle, where you have to retro tat over and over? Well this little bookmark is in the first category, nice and easy. It was such a joy to tat! I persume it is a variation of an antique edging pattern called "Basket Edge". I used Altin Basak 50 variegated on the shuttle and shaded green for the chains. This thread seems to be a size all of its own, somewhere between a Size 20 and 30. I would call it a Size 25. I love tatting with this Turkish thread and am so glad to have a nice stash of it.

    Love the colors! Yes, AB is an "inbetween". I've paired it with both sizes and usually like it better with size 20 but I don't think it really matters.

    I love this bookmark - and your tatting is wonderful and neat. Is the pattern online?

    Oh, I like this, Brigitte. It looks so light and spring-like.
