I think I've gone just the smallest bit mad with this whole tatting thing. Honestly, ya'll, I can't stop. You want to know how bad it is? (How bad is it??????)
I was going through my pre-1930 craft magazines looking out tatting patterns for a challenge in the latest Piecework Magazine and I came across a 1925 issue of Needlecraft magazine that featured a tatted bedspread using size 8 cotton. That's thread. Not teeny tiny but small enough.
The instructions say that "When finished, the spread contains one hundred and twenty squares, each about nine inches." Did you get that. 120 squares.
I realized how crazy I'd become when I looked up from the pattern with the realization that I had actually been considering making it.
