After finishing all those white snowflakes, I've been enjoying some holiday tatting in green and red. Here is Mark Myer's wonderful Holly & Berries design featuring the half ring braid technique. I love this technique; I love this pattern.
This design is called "Christmas Berry Wreath", by LaRae Mikulecky. Thank you to everyone who helped track it down. The pattern is from an old Geocities site that isn't there anymore, but you can find a copy
here. According to my printout, I downloaded this from the web on 11/25/99 and only now, more than ten years later got around to making it. This is made in one pass with one green and one red shuttle, and features lots of Josephine knots.

Wow, Mark's design is stunning. Doesn't the wreath look prickly too - just like real holly?
ReplyDeleteBoth are very pretty and festive! Merry Christmas!

Beautiful tatting, Martha! You know - I think I've got a printout of that wreath pattern - I'll check it out when I get home and see if we can't track down the creator.

Martha - can you send me the original site for the Christmas wreath on Geocities? I may be able to find it on the WayBack machine.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to add this one to my pattern list too.
Found it!
