This seems like work and I hate work so I'm giving you an incentive. If you share your fave then I will enter you in a draw. If you write about this quest and share a picture of your fave pattern on your blog I'll enter you a second time (please let me know in the comment section). If your favorite thing isn't tatting (I don't know how that could happen), you may need a Shrink but you can still enter your favorite non-tatting Christmas pattern and the same rules apply.
THE BRIBE:
My copy of Tatting for the Tree by Karey Solomon which is currently my fave Christmas book. You can see a few samples .JPG)
of her patterns in previous posts. A tatted lavender sachet and a pair of pointsettia earings tatted by me. As well as a few other goodies that I'll throw in for fun.

Hi Vicki,
ReplyDelete.
Thank you for your holiday spirit. You are always so much fun to follow that you really do not have to offer a bribe.

My favorite is Susan B. Taliaferro's Christmas Chain Wreath with beads, found at http://www.susansplanet.bravehost.com/ChristmasChainWreath.htm .
.
It has such a lovely organic feel to it. I fell in love with this design at first sight.
.
Hope you have Happy Holidays and New Year 2010 filled with lots of tatting and thread and shuttles and ...
.
Hugs,
Hegla

Oh, heck. SO hard. SO many patterns. I think I'm going to cheat a bit here and answer with 'the next one I make'!!!!!! I hate them while I'm working on them but once they're done they're done. Actually today's newest is my favourite at the moment!!!

Oooo are there extra points for naming a few???
ReplyDeleteMy ultimate favourite Xmas pattern to tat up would have to be the Holly Garland by Pam Palmer which can be found on pagr 18 of Tatting Treats 3! It's fast to do up for last minute gifts and just so darned cute. I've made it into cards, brooches and even earrings. I love it =).
My favourite at the moment is Third day of December by Lene Bjorn in 24 Snowflakes in Tatting. I have blogged about it here

Great idea Vicki
My favourite Christmas tatting pattern (thou I haven't done it this Xmas & can't do it now ;( ) is Jon's Rings Only Snowflake with beads http://tatsaway-patterns.blogspot.com/2008/08/rings-only-snowflake-with-beads.html
ReplyDeleteI love the way it looks and how it flows as you are making it.
See Jon's photo on my blog

This isn't a Christmas pattern but I wanted to show you what my favorite thing to tat is lately.
