I got the book on April 6th, finished the last bookmark yesterday, wove in the last ends to day, and am now ready for my victory lap 🏆

This was a really enjoyable and skill-building project.

Before, I had looked at a design, seen that it featured split rings, and rejected it because of that.

Whelp, the first bookmark with split rings had 26 of them! (It's the light-colored rectangle in the bottom third of the middle column)

So now, I still find split rings awkward, but I can do them and make them look good :) So I wouldn't reject designs because of them any more <3

The same goes for SCMRs, Josephine knots, Catherine Wheel joins and so many other techniques.

For example, for the bookmark with 14(!) Catherine Wheel joins (the brown and white one, 5th from the bottom of the right column), I had to work the CWJ alongside a video the first 3-4 times. Now I can do them without looking up which loop I have to pull next 😎

Now I have to figure out what to do with them.

My first idea was to maybe crochet a rought of chain scallops(?) around each piece, maybe in black or dark gray, and then crochet them together to form a stained glass window?

But when my mom saw them last week on this table, she pointed out that they'd look great sewn onto a fabric approximately the same color as the table. Like an off-white linen with a blond note.

I'll have to meditate about this.

So, there we are.

I finished this epic project, I'm about to burst with pride, I feel very competent now, and I'd heartily recommend Robin Perfetti's book to everyone ❤️

Moin :)

Gestern ist mir aufgefallen, das halb Kreuzberg mit diesen Plakaten tapeziert ist, auf denen gebeten wird, bei Sichtung eines entlaufenen Hundes entweder die angegebene Handynummer oder die 110 zu rufen.

Spontan würde ich als Laie ja sagen, dass man wegen sowas nicht den Notruf ruft, aber ich lerne immer gerne dazu...

Ist es legitim, hier zum Anrufen des Notrufs aufzufordern, und könnte die Polizei dies sogar vorgeschlagen haben?

Oder hat der/die Hundebesitzer/in einfach 'nen Knall?

I found several scans of what appears to be the same pattern book on Pinterest, and I'd love to know name and author of the book so I can buy it.

Maybe someone recognizes the layout?

The pages all seem to have one colored corner. I've seen pages with yellow and light blue corners.

Also, the patterns seem to have been named after flowers, maybe in Italian?

The descriptions are in English and German.

Does anyone know the book?

I plan on working a project with sentimental value from one of the patterns, and using a pirated pattern for that gives me the ick. I'd rather pay the designer if possible <3

I'm working my way through Robin Perfetti's Four Dozen Tatted Bookmarks, a project which will leave me with - surprise, surprise! - four dozen tatted bookmarks.

Guess who bought an eReader two weeks ago 🫣

So I've been trying to figure out what to do with them, and one idea is to somehow connect them all into a larger piece.

Like a doily, a small curtain, or a wallhanging?

Does anyone have a suggestion of how to actually do that? In crochet I'd just work arches of chain stitches around each bookmark and connect those to each other as I go along...

What should I do in tatting though? Does anyone have examples of similar projects or suggestions of patterns?
