I wish I were at the Fringe Element Tatdays 2019

I'm not able to go to the Fringe Element Tatdays this year but I am still able to be there in heart. I invite you to do the same with this pattern called Ballroom Blitz

Its called that because it kinda looks like the anarchy sign a bit and I had an image of the rebellious tatters rioting through the hotel with shuttle and needles in hand to get to the vending tables lol. Also the weekend is a riot of tatting!
