Past Palmetto - Two by Erin

At Palmetto TatDays this year, a few of us talked about favorite patterns from past years.  I think Erin Holloway Moseley's patterns always have a lot of personality.  When I got home, I pulled out my pattern CD's and found the instructions for these two.



This is Dinky the Cat from 2012. I think it is as cute as can be. The legs are floating chains that make it a little challenging. (long bare thread, later worked over split chain style)


And here is Doodle the Poodle from 2010, I think.  I've admired this one for a long time.  I wasn't paying attention and used beads a little too big, so the feet and tail are a bit lumpy.  I would recommend this one for experienced tatters only.  And do use a bead spinner.  You need a bazillion beads, but they are all on the ball thread.

Palmetto pattern CDs may be ordered here:  http://palmettotatters.org/items/
In the CD and video section, if you click on the year, you can see the projects on that CD.  This year's CD has just come available.  I know some of you have been waiting for it.

  1. Oh, Ruth wore the cat during Fringe weekend and the eyes seemed to follow me wherever I was in the room!!! It's a wonderful pattern and I've got it on my 'to do' list. As soon as I've got the TIAS sorted I'm going to make one for myself.

  6. This is what I love about tatting! The design possibilities are so versatile. I've always admired the cat - so modern and stylistic! This is the first time I've seen the poodle, as I recall! Wonderful imagination!

  8. Oh, wow! Martha those turned out wonderfully! I haven't gotten to keep up with my blog reading of late and I only now saw this. I love the cat- he looks like my Nedsel! And can we ever really have too many beads? Heh.
