One of the things I love most about tatting is that people always ask me about it and then we start talking about other things. I may make it out to West Virgina sometime next year. It's all still very much in the year. Thanks for leaving a comment. One of the things I love most about tatting is that people always ask me about it and then we start talking about other things.

Enjoyed chatting with you and learning about tatting. Come visit West Virginia some time. You will love the mountains in the fall! Nice to see the completed skirt you were working on in Yellowstone.

I'm really looking forward to them though I have no idea yet where I'm going to go or see. Suggestions are greatly appreciated! I know I'll definitely spend some time checking out the volcanoes. I've finally figured out a way to make u-turns on an edging pattern I like for the nylon tablecloth. So the whole thing can be done as a "continuous" piece. Haven't started yet on figuring out how to tie off the ends yet, but I wound it up and found I can fit an entire ball onto my Tatsy shuttle so theoretically I've only got two ends for each ball, 46 ends all together. It's comforting to know it'll ONLY be be 46. As for the size 80 cotton tablecloth, I know the pattern I want to use (the same one as on the skirt, actually) but still haven't figured out a nice way to make the u-turns. I'm thinking this is the project I'll take with me to Hawaii, so I might end up wanting to do it as separate strips (to make it easier to carry around) and then I'll need to figure out a good way to put them all together afterwards. Anyway, at some point soon (soon=next couple months) there will be a tatting page added to the website. And pictures of the skirt as soon as I remember to take them! Hi Mimi,

Just got back from Volcanoes NP and I knitted by Halema'uma'u crater while my husband (also a volcano groupie) stared and hoped something interesting would happen besides just steaming :) I tatted at Yellowstone while he watched geysers (looking up at important times!) Size 80 for a tablecloth will be beautiful... just will take a little longer to make is all. I have actually seen one made of tiny round motifs of 8 rings/chains (2 chains joining to each of the 4 motifs at 12, 3, 6 and 9 o'clock to it) and she did little 4-ring roses in the holes between. That's a lot of ends! So actually personally I'd do the cotton before the nylon unless you've found a good way to tie off the nylon? I’ll tat or knit just about anywhere.

Yes, I am crazy enough to be considering a tablecloth out of size 80. The other would be out of the nylon thread I think I showed you. Much, much larger. After looking at your silk piece I think it should hang very well when it's done. You sound like you've been a geyser groupie at once before yourself. Anything to give us an excuse to sit and tat, huh? :) Hi Mimi,
