I am trying to get back to tatting and my blog, but I have hardly tatted for 4 weeks so there has not been anything to post here, it was just like I had run out of ideas and I didn't have the urge to tat. I hope that will change in the coming days because yesterday my Aussie mate and I had another online tatting session, lovely it is possible to do it in that way when we can not meet in person. I will see if I can finish the motif we worked on tonight.
The other day I did the two bangles above. I am desperately trying to find a pattern that will suit those bangles - these are not perfect but will do for now. If anyone knows of a pattern in size 20-30 thread that will fit these bangles please let me know where to look.

What size are your bangles? They come in many, many sizes which I've found out to my frustration at times!!!!
Oh I did not know they come in many sizes.
The diameter of those that I have are 6.8-6.9 centimeters.
Ah, most of my patterns appear to be for a 3" diameter bangle. BUT you can adjust most of them by making the chains shorter. I usually just make a motif and then sort through my stash to find a bangle to fit!!! Not very helpful, I'm afraid. Sorry.
The long chains on the outer round are 12 ds in the pattern and I have tried with 10 ds and then they get too small. I guess I will have to try with 11 ds - or some smaller beads perhaps.
Oh and Jane E thanks for looking, I appreciate it.
It looks like you have the perfect "bangle pattern detective" working on your case for you!
I just wanted to tell you that I thought your patterns used are absolutely beautiful! The beads look great!
