Hello Tat Land!
So happy to be back on Ambitatterous blog after what seems like forever.
Health issues (mostly) kept me away -- gall gladder surgery, pneumonia, a bout with a nasty gastrointestinal virus, back trouble, weak eyes, way-too-much bed rest, you get the idea.
For eight months now I have not been able to tat. It is not an exaggeration to say that Not Tatting has almost killed me! These days I am still not tatting more than 4 rings at a time but things are slowly getting better. I am looking forward to Palmetto Tat Days next week!
What does a tatter do when the eyes go all dodgy? Break out the knitting needles. Over the summer I completed four Harry Potter scarves: two Gryffindor and two Slytherin. Of course, Sapling got sorted into Hufflepuff in his 4th grade class, so now in addition to his Slytherin scarf, he wants a Hufflepuff!
I also started a slouchy beanie hat for Sapling since he has learned to ride a skateboard and is getting into "Sk8ter Gear."
Knitting zen is less than tatting zen, but some zen is better than none, I say!
Reading all of your lovely tatting blogs has greatly helped save my poor, shredded sanity. If you ever think that no one reads your tatting blog, remember my words. I wouldn't have made it without the wonderful techniques, ideas and images you shared from your own tatting and/or daily lives.

SO looking forward to seeing you on THursday!
Glad to see you! Sorry about your health issues, I hope you'll be fully fit soon and back to tatting. I love knitting but you're right, it does have a different kind of zen.
Glad to see you again! Gone but not forgotten. Those scarves look wonderful!
Necessity is the mother...I am envisioning tatting needles the size of those giant bulky knitting needles producing room size doilies. I am so looking forward to seeing you this week!
Well, HELLO! So good to see you again! 💕👏🏻
