Tatting in March 2

Soon it wont be March any longer so I have better post the last of my work from this month.
First an Easter egg designed by Inge-Lise who is an almost local tatter that allowed me to test tat this.
A very nice egg to tat and the reciever liked it so thanks to Inge-Lise who I will probably soon meet in real life too - yahoo.
Below are 2 smaller doilies, I believe they are both Italian, from those mags called Il Lavoro......... Nice little stuff to tat.
Next pictures that will be added here will be bigger things - but that will be next month, lol.
--------------------------------------------------------
Sidste dag i marts så jeg må hellere poste de sidste arbejder fra denne måned. Påskeægget er Inge-Lises design som jeg fik lov at prøve - mange tak, det er et fint påskeæg.
Nederst to mindre flakoner eller motiver fra de der italienske magasiner. Næste billeder her vil være af større ting - men det er først i næste måned. ;-D

My largest doily so far - I think so

I finished this big green one last night - just in time for spring, lol. It is funny to recall, that I started it in Maureen's house in September 2006, tatted on it on Jenni's deck in October 2006 and have just finished it at home. So it has taken me a long time to finish it - have done other stuff in the meantime and also had long tatting breaks. The diameter is 32 cm (around 12 inches) and it is one of the biggest I have ever done. The thread is Coats size 20 and the design belongs to Mary Maynard.

Jubii, denne store grønne sag (ikke grønsag) er endelig færdiglavet. Og det har altså ikke taget halvandet år at orkere den, der har været en mængde afbrydelser, men det er et lille stykke af Australien jeg har taget med mig hjem. Garnet er købt der og den er også påbegyndt downunder.

Tatting in March 1

It is not that I have not been tatting in March at all, but I have spent some time though looking through my new tatting books that I have bought this month.
So maybe I do not have a lot of words to write here but I can show pictures. So here is a picture of 2 motifs I have done. The one to the left is designed by Jan Stawasz and can be found in his book. The other one I think is from the new Italian magazine - Il Lavoro no 10.
More to follow - probably tomorrow.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jeg har brugt tid på at kigge på alle de nye mønstre jeg nu er i besiddelse af, men der har været lidt tid til at orkere. Her er 2 mindre motiver, i morgen håber jeg at poste 2 små flakoner her.
