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.
